  • Freedom Tower in Spring….the finish

  • Freedom Tower, work in progress 2

    I’ve gotten the foreground of “Freedom Tower” pretty much done.  I may go back and look at it with a fresh, but I think that’s it. While I was doing this, it occurred to me that visual arts are a lot like music.  You’ve got compositions, rhythms, and harmonies.  I tried, here, to get a…

  • Freedom Tower, 1st work in progress

    Here’s the stage where I am in doing the large version of “Freedom Tower”.  As I usually find, when you translate something small into something much larger, you run into difficulties in detail and composition.  Here I’m finding I need more trees to fill up the foreground.

  • No Place Like Home…..

    I’ve started work on the large “Freedom Tower”, but so far, don’t really have enough to show a work in progress.

  • My Big Break

    The art reception is over, and now I’m a famous artist!  Or, not, depends on how delusional I am on any given day. The reception went well.  Turned out to be just a few friends, and we all had a nice visit. Just what I was expecting, I don’t know.  I was incredibly anxious on…

  • Help Wanted: An Inventor

    For sometime, I’ve been looking for the perfect art supply.  It can take images in my mind, project them directly from my eyes, and develop the picture on the paper, with absolutely no handiwork from me.  If you can come up with it, I guarantee you’ll make a fortune. But since that doesn’t exist at…
