Drive!
I was sitting with an elderly friend at the bus stop. He looked around mentioned, “People used to drive around in boxes, like the model T. Then the cars had curves, and now, people are driving in boxes again”. As I watched the SUVs going by……I had to agree with him. But back to drawing…

“I’ve seen the lights go out on Broadway, I’ve seen the Empire State laid low.” – Billy Joel Right now, Rose Garden is going slowly. It’s through no fault of my own, but pet owners will understand. Pumpkin has taken up a new sleeping spot, right behind my easel. It’s a choice between letting…

There’s No Business, like well you know…

For those of you in Connecticut and nearby areas…
I said I’m going to put drawings in the Redding, Connecticut show for the benefit of the Mark Twain Library. Well, I’m not. I realized that by the time I bought frames, paid the fee and donated a piece, I’d be out several dollars. I figured I’d get more bang for my buck to get…

If all goes well…..
I’ve been away from my artwork for a while, my day job became intolerable, so I abruptly quit it. So, now, the job search has begun. The artwork I’ve done is the quick sketches for the art festival on September 22. They’re finished, and here they are (you’ve already seen Michael Jackson) Self portrait….. And…
