  • 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…

  • Oh, What a Tangled We Weave!

    I put away the version that I had of “Making Peace with January 2015”.  I have a new vision for the same subject matter, so I’m expecting to do it as “Making Peace with February 2015”.  I took a moment to really study a seagull against a mackerel sky, and OMG…was it ever different from…
