  • TGIM

    Thank God it’s Monday.  I know that may not be popular among people who work Monday through Friday, but I have worked all weekend.  I’m off tomorrow and Wednesday.  So, I’m being contrary and what else is new? I didn’t get much time to do artwork….but I am working on Making Peace with January.  It…

  • December’s Over…so is 2014

    A good way to start the New Year is to finish what you start, and no, I don’t mean the bottle of vodka.  I finished “Making Peace with December”, this morning.   Here ’tis. So, one more month of the dreaded winter, gone.   Happy New Year, everyone.  May your 2015 be awesome, fabulous, fantastic…and…

  • It’s that time of year again…..Happy New Year!

    Right about now, all sorts of news stories are printed about the triumphs of the year.  I however,  with my contrary streak, am going to display my biggest flops of the year. It helps me to remember I can fail, and I hope it helps beginning artists not to be discouraged.  Everyone screws up now…

  • 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…
