Blackout !
“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 […]

venus and mars are alright, tonight
For those of you who caught my short-lived, remarkably self absorbed post the other day, I apologize. But an update, the featured picture “A Western Tao”, is alright after all. Much to everyone’s surprise, my artwork survived the flood waters. It’s a drawing of a man and a woman. Every remember the book “Men Are […]

Damn! Damn! And Damn Again!
I seem to not be having much success with my artwork these days. First the dogs, and now this. My Welcome to Spring piece is not up to my somewhat perfectionist standards. Grrr. So,while I rethink this, I will share with you a spring drawing I made a few years, back when I lived in […]

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. In reality, the foreground is actually a cemetery. […]
