I Should Explain….
Here’s the latest: “Fireflies in July If that looks familiar to you, and maybe it doesn’t, I’ll explain anyway. It may remind you of this: That’s because I’m drawing something very familiar to me, which is the porches in this condo complex….so, you see, there’s a good reason for this repetition. Not a particularly interesting […]

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 […]

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 […]

By the Sea, By the Sea, By the Beautiful Sea…..
Not exactly the sea, it was actually the Long Island Sound. My friend and I went looking for rocks for Danbury Rocks and made a day of it. First we went to the art supply store, where I spent too much money. That’s easy, I’m like a child in a candy store, there. Then we […]

In the Details…
So, I’ve settled into a comfortable routine with this drawing. Here’s a progress shot of a detail, Here’s to show you…an image a long time ago, that I’m trying to improve upon. Light through the trees is not particularly a paradise image, but it is hopeful.

Coloring is the New “Om”
Recently, there has been a trend using coloring for an adult as a type of meditation. I’m not opposed to this, it just doesn’t work for me, I find it tedious. Also, even as a child I was unable to keep within the lines. For those who find it helpful, sounds good to me, go […]
