  • When life throws you a curve ball, make lemonaide

    Hello Folks, WordPress is not as insistent as Facebook at least, which reminds me EVERY DAY, how long it is since I’ve posted.  So, thanks for being patient, WordPress, and thanks to my followers, too. There’s a good reason why I haven’t posted.  I haven’t done any artwork, except a version of the couple dancing,…

  • Tis Spring

    And love is in the air.  Frankly, I can think of nothing more healing than a partner in your life to support you, have fun with, grow old with. Or even a good cry at a romantic movie. So, here’s the sketch…no name yet. If this looks a little familiar, it should.  I took my…

  • I’m being followed by a Moonshadow

    My friend finally got her belated birthday gift.  In case you didn’t see this in the comments, this is what she said about the portrait I did of her dog, Moonshadow.   I don’t know if my other post made it over here, so. A man in a brown truck just left a large flat…

  • Trucking…like the Do Da man…………

    Somewhere, deep in the Midwest, a man (or a woman) is driving a brown truck to a small town destination in Iowa.  When the package he or she delivers, finally gets to this house in this is isolated area, presumably Friday, I will unveil my last drawing.  In the meantime, I’m just trucking along. Some…

  • It’s a Secret

    I bet you’ve been wondering why I haven’t been posting.  Well, no, not really, I expect you all have lives other than reading my blog.  But the truth is I haven’t posted for a while…and there’s a good reason.  I’m working on a drawing, but it’s a secret. Why keep it a secret?  In some…

  • Finally Made Peace with February…

    Around  the middle of March. So, it was one of those deals where the idea for the drawing kept nagging me, and I couldn’t ignore it.  I had realized what I had screwed up, so of course…..I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t give it another go.  So. Of course, I had a few rough…

  • Just what you’ve been waiting to see!

      Oooops, wrong picture…that’s my messy easel.  Let’s try it again:         Okay, not t he best photo in the world, it has a hot spot, but at least I try.  Anyway, this is the drawing that’s going into the silent auction.  If you’re in the Connecticut area May 3, stop in….lots…

  • Well, I never did make peace with February……

    The finished work I did after the sketch, (the sketch I liked), I felt Eh about.  So, the large work has been put aside for a long, long time.  I may go back to it, but right now, it’s time for other projects. I mean, after all, February’s over…..which means it’s March…..which means it will…

  • Easy Peasy…except Richard doesn’t like peas.

    Okay, remember how I was struggling over the first “Making Peace with January”?  I went back to the idea…after first taking a more observant look at the subject matter I was planning to draw, a seagull in front of a mackerel sky.  I did the sketch in just a few minutes….easiest thing I’ve done in…
