  • Spinning….!

    Spinning….!

    Here’s a thought. I’m getting behind on my artwork, due to other stuff going on. Still, I felt the need to do something. So, I had this great idea! Okay, maybe not a great idea, but at least an idea. Why not post the drawings of mine that I like. I like, but, for some…

  • I think I’m getting moldy.

    Oregon, no doubt, is a beautiful state.  I remember one day, arriving in Portland to visit my sister, only to be surprised at the sweet, perfumed air.  I looked to see bounties of roses growing by the sidewalk. Only, I don’t know how I’d do in all that rain!  I asked my sister how she…

  • Something Practical

    Every so often I do something practical with my artwork.  A friend of mine, who is an expert in natural health, is creating a line of skin care products, so I did some work on the label.  Remember “Floral Overload”?   Well, I did something along that line for a product which contains marigold (or…

  • Having said all that…

    Yes, it’s been a while.  Topsy Turvy winter into spring…kind of chaotic, don’t want to go there. But still, I’ve had a revelation, I’m more a healer than an artist.  So, I’m going to start my Reiki practice again. But no, I’m not giving up art.  It means so much to me, and to many…

  • The Grand Finale

    All my bitchin’ and moanin” has come to an end.  I’m finished with “Floral Overload”.  Honestly, I haven’t sweated so much over a drawing in years, but I like the result.  Months from now, it will be the result that means anything to me.     Now that I’ce done something really cheerful and lively,…

  • Will you stop complaining, for God’s sake, woman!

    Honestly, I was going to go into another rant on how bored I am drawing flowers.  Then I realized, you’re probably bored hearing me complain…so, peace.  As I go along, though, I find my flowers are becoming more scribbly. It still works, though. I usually don’t show my work this far along (rather give an…

  • A Flower a Day Keeps the Psychiatrist Away

    Yes, doing artwork is good therapy…..for me at least.  It gave me a reason to live, when depression was clouding my perceptions as to the quality of my life.  These days, I’ve been so busy, that it is literally a flower a day.  So, rather than ruin the surprise of the finish of “Floral Overload”…

  • Another Work in Progress, and Dead in the Water

    I’m happy with the way “Floral Overload” is coming along.  Really, truly, I am.  But, it is a LOT of work. I can get maybe one flower done a day.  One factor is that my job leaves me fatigued, and I don’t have much time..so, Day Job hunting again.  Oh, and I’m going to see…

  • Channeling Georgia O’Keefe….

    So, I finished the sketch of “Floral Overload”, and here it is: So, now I begin on the large version. For that, I realized I would have to do the flowers in careful, realistic detail.  For that, I’d need good flower pictures to study and draw. For any artist who may not be aware of…
