  • I’m Speechless!

    I’m Speechless!

    No, not really, I just thought it would be a good title. This is my latest, and if you look closely, you’ll see a bird and a couple of squirrels. One thing I discovered is that just drawing leaves turns out to be boring to both the artist and the viewer. I’m pretty happy with…

  • Conventional Wisdom

    Conventional Wisdom

    Sorry, I meant to post on Tuesday, as a routine day. This Tuesday, I was unable to get to it. But here it is Wednesday, better late than never! Speaking of conventional wisdom, for artists at least. The question so many artists ask is, what sells the best? Everyone, (you know that everyone) says to…

  • Nothing Doing

    Nothing Doing

    According to Blog writing wisdom, you should wait until you have something interesting to write before you post. Other Blog writing wisdom says you should write on a regular basis, so you don’t lose your audience. Preferably once a week, at your busiest time. Which works out to be early Tuesday evening. So, here I…

  • Shakin’ It Up

    Shakin’ It Up

    Thought I’d try something different for a change. I know, I know, I often say I’m going to change my artwork, do one different picture, then back to the same old stuff. So, I’m just going to, as I wrote, try. So, I finally did do a version of the small airplane that I like.…

    The Swans Have Gone Viral!

    No, the swans in Danbury aren’t flying around giving everyone COVID, The type of viral I mean is immense popularity on the internet. I suppose this is as viral as it gets here, one group on FB, in a small city in Connecticut. Here’s the sketch: And here’s the finish: So, in the last week…

  • Let’s Make That Plane

    Let’s Make That Plane

    Ok, yes, a pun. Sometimes I just run out of imagination for these titles. So, I’ve been doing my small drawings, and I got stuck on the subject of small aircraft. The story is this: I was working on a drawing of clouds, which turned out horribly. But, as with small aircraft, I got stuck…

  • And the Story Continues…

    And the Story Continues…

    So, I’ve been reading and listening to all sorts of tips to sell my art. My head is spinning around now, and I frequently ask myself? Is this worth it? The answer is yes, it’s been what I’ve wanted all my life. That is, if I don’t want to be really pissed off on my…

  • What Have I Gotten Myself Into?

    What Have I Gotten Myself Into?

    First off…I’ve been learning a lot about marketing, and of course, blogging. The instructor said to write a blog post every week. I don’t know how I can do that, my life, like everyone, comes in fits and start. For instance, a lot’s been going on since my post yesterday, and then I have times…

  • Well, Dang!

    Well, Dang!

    Remember this truck? I’ll bet you do, I think it was only the last post. Anyway, the point being, was that I was raving and hollering about how there was a recession coming up and I was only going to do small, inexpensive drawings. And then it happened……. Nothing. No ideas came to me for…
