  • Another Wip…………and I LOVE computers <3 <3 <3

    Yes, computers are awesome…but I’ll get back to that in a minute. It occurs to me that I have done many drawings (including the one I’m working on now) of the sycamore tree out front.  I have however, never posted a photo of it, so you can see it’s beauty for real…so, here’s the view…

  • December Blues

    I guess the title of this should be “Making Peace with December”, perhaps I should carry on that theme. But in other news, I actually spent real money promoting my page on Facebook. I was skeptical since I tried Google Adwords, and all that happened is I lost a lot of money.  But this Facebook…

  • My Little Chickadee…dee,dee,dee….

    I’m working on the drawing that I sketched earlier in the week. Since wintertime is such a hard time for me, and many others, I’ve decided to make my work this season devoted to making peace and healing with this cold, dark time of year. Another theme I’m working on, as a healing subject, is…

  • It’s about the process, not the product…….or something like that

    So, here’s the sketch…another with the theme of making peace with winter.  I finally did the skeleton of the sycamore’s pale branches against an bright blue sky.  Voila (sorry, I’m working for a French company, it sneaks into my vocabulary now and then). So, now the promised topic……… Every so often, art work is done…

  • Indecision is my vocation…

    So, the holiday fair is long since over.  Considering the weather, it was okay (in that I didn’t lose too much money).  I did, however, learn a lot from a fellow vendor. Plus a chance to visit with my long time friends…so, it was worth it. But what has that to do with indecision? Absolutely nothing….as…

  • The Time Has Come…..

    Let’s just say, I’m feeling the love.  Have been doing an affirmation every morning, and I just feel as if everything is flowing, and I’m going with the flow.  Even the parts I don’t like, well,I accept it as part of the flow and everything will work out in the end…….. So, back to art….and…

  • Down and Dirty

    Time to get down and dirty, back to the nitty-gritty, and other last generation cliches…. Wasn’t my art supposed to be about healing? As I rush around producing merchandise for shows, and feel the angst of the approach of another Christmas Rush in retail…. Something stopped me, and told me to get back to my…

  • Life is a badly written soap opera

    Did I use that title before?  I think I either used it, or something similar.  Anyway, I guess repeating yourself comes with age.  So, if I did, my apologies. The soap opera has been at my day job….yes, I’m still there, filling in while the manager takes vacation time.  Intrigues and plot twists galore….only not…

  • October Fruit Loops

    It’s been a while since I’ve posted, but my autumn landscape has been finished for a while.  I like it..wasn’t sure if I did.  But that’s an artist’s constant conflict, so no matter. I looked at it, and what came to mind is a bowl of Fruit Loops, my secret passion.  So, here it is:…
