Not for Sale
My wrist is getting better, and I am savoring (More like salivating over) the prospect doing artwork again. Yes, in a little more than a week, my cast will be off. A little physical therapy, and I’ll be good to go. After that announcement, I want to know…are you tired of blogs (including mine), trying…

Yay! Snow!
Snow is in the forecast for today. We’re not to get hit as hard as if we were still in New York City, but still a sizable amount. It’s good day to stay inside and do artwork…as if that wasn’t what I’ve been doing for the past week anyway. Ah, I love the snow. It’s…

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…

A Sad, Personal Note
I haven’t posted for a while, and that’s because my cat and favorite model, Hannako, won’t be with us much longer. My partner and I have turned our bedroom into a kitty hospice. Of course, Hannako is a 13 year-old now, which is the average life span for an indoor cat. In case you aren’t…

I’d like you to meet a friend…..
And here’s her FB page. As I was saying…..I was looking for an animal cause for which I can do pet portraits. I remembered my old high school buddy, Mrs. Dolittle. She’s a holistic healer for animals, and I’m going to try to raise money for her to give hospice care to pets whose families…

Taking a Break and Rehoming a Tiger
I’ve been working pretty steadily on the project for the college students, and frankly, I’m getting really bored with it. There’s not too long to go with it, so I decided to take a break and work on the winged foal. Here’s where it stands: Cheers to Art As rehoming a tiger, do…

Back to normal…..whatever the Hell that is.
Been a busy holiday in retail, and the whole idea of art and healing got kicked to the wayside. Now, finally, if the neighbors would finally take down their Christmas lights, it would be over. Between my readings on Buddhism, and recent events in my life, the topic of change became an overwhelming force in…

The Siren Call of a Steady Paycheck
Despite the fact that I’m planning my debut on the streets of Manhattan, I still am looking for a steady job. Had an interview yesterday that went well….but I am wondering if I’m giving off signals that I just don’t want to be doing this anymore. Anyway…… Managed to get some of my little prints…

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,…
