  • One Step at a Time

    One Step at a Time

    I’ve always been able to find inspiration for artwork within a couple of blocks of where I live. That was true in NYC, too. For instance: A couple of doors down from me. Finding so much inspiration is something I’m pretty proud of. Perhaps it’s silly, but there it is. Same with the tree I…

  • I Don’t Like It

    I Don’t Like It

    Phooey!  Dammit, damn, damn  and damn, again! I really don’t like the way this turned out. It was supposed to be carefree…..but to me, it looks sloppy and lazy.  The piece of fecal matter I mentioned before.  I really had wanted it to come out like this: This: Or even this!   Here I’ve done…

  • I Make Good on My Promises

    I Make Good on My Promises

    I finished the rose garden, but I plan on giving it a better name.  My thought is it’s either a  piece of genius, or a piece of fecal matter.  My good friend assures me that it is neither, but she really likes it. So, here you go!  A drawing of a rose garden that my…

  • And What I Mean by That is..

    And What I Mean by That is..

    Which gave me an idea of how to handle the branch, which gave me an idea of how to handle the middle ground, and so forth, so on, and blah, blah, blah, etc.

  • Taking the Plunge

    I’ve finally managed to cold call some galleries.  Surprising to me, no one was rude, and everyone gave me instructions as to how to submit samples. It made me feel as if I should have done this five years ago!  Then I think back, and realize, I was in NYC then, and competition was fierce. …

  • At Last…or What Am I, Nuts?

    I’ve labored long and not so lovingly on this.  I like the result, but damn, the tedium.  I know I’ve talked about the repetitive, long lasting tasks as being meditative, but this time, that didn’t happen.  Doing the ivy made me just about tear my hair out.  So, I did it a little, teeny-tiny bit…

  • Insert Something Insightful, here.

    I honestly was trying to come up with a good title, and nothing came to mind.  I got to thinking about how my timeline on Facebook is loaded with insightful messages, that are pretty repetitive and useless.  You know them, the inspirational ones, with backgrounds of sunsets, seashores and nature in general.  So, I decided…

  • 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…

  • A Stroll in the Old Neighborhood…

    Here I am, being nostalgic again. As we were packing the car with a load of *stuff* to take to the new place, I saw my landlord’s chair, against the stone wall. He’s had it there all the years we lived there, probably many years before, and now…. It got me thinking of how the…
