  • 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…

  • Let’s Put It Aside. (Maybe It’ll Look Better in the Morning)

    Came to a good stopping place on “King of the Beasts”.  It’s being set aside, I’m going to look at it with a fresh eye in the morning.  It it meets approval, by me of course, I will post it.  If not, it’s back to the drawing board…literally. So…for now, I’m bringing you… AN UGLY…

  • Putting things in perspective…

    The word perspective can mean a couple of things.  First of all, the problem I had with Scraggly Weed, and getting the straight lines all wonky.  Nearly did it again on Tiger.  This time, I caught myself in time, before I really made Hannako’s face asymmetrical, and a general mess.   An eye by the nose,…

  • Pocket Paradise WIP

    Here’s the first step in the large “Pocket Paradise”. I have the flag done, but realize, I don’t have the stripes a consistent width. I’m going to keep it that way….that’s the true impression the flag gives, and my work is interpretive, after all. Had a rejection from a juried show, but was invited to…

  • Pocket Paradise, 5×7 sketch

    I’ve been busy at work! Here’s the small version of “Pocket Paradise”, and I am pleased with it. My mouth is watering to start on the large version. But today, I have a date to meet an old high school friend, someone I haven’t seen in 40 (yes, count them, 40) years.
