    What Part of “No” Do You Not Understand?

    Well, I’ve been awake since 12 am, my brain is scrambled, so it’s the perfect time to write a blog post. As for refusing other people’s ideas for drawings, here’s another one, another friend. After making loads of suggestions, she went with me for a walk in a nearby park. I spotted a horse farm,…

  • Just a note.

    As often happens, time got away from me. I’m working on the drawing of the German Shepherd. It’s very detailed, so it is taking a bit more time. In the meantime, I put a bit more work into the final drawing of the horse. The light and conditions at the mall were just plain awful!…

  • Horsing Around

    Horsing Around

    Well, the dog didn’t make the cut. Instead, I decided to go with a horse. Here’s the first sketch: It suddenly dawned on me, that combining an interesting animal with a peaceful landscape not impossible. It’s closer to my sample than a dog in an interior.. I’ll probably put the good old German Shepherd in…

  • In the Year of the Tiger

    In the Year of the Tiger

    Once again, we’ve come to my birthday. Everybody always say “You’re a St. Patrick’s Day baby”. Recently, though, I’ve been telling people that I’m a St. Gertrude’s Day baby. It’s especially relevant in the Year of the Tiger. Cats. And people. https://www.facebook.com/events/541677760467486/ And a horse. I’m working on a lot of small pictures right now,…

  • Do it again, again

    Do it again, again

    Okay,  I really should give it some time  before I post a drawing I’ve finished.  There’s something about posting it, for all, the world to see, to show off my mistakes.  Ooops. So, as I  looked at “Winter Horse Farm”, I realized, once again, it was too stark and uninteresting.  So, this is what it…

  • Just what you’ve been waiting to see!

      Oooops, wrong picture…that’s my messy easel.  Let’s try it again:         Okay, not t he best photo in the world, it has a hot spot, but at least I try.  Anyway, this is the drawing that’s going into the silent auction.  If you’re in the Connecticut area May 3, stop in….lots…

  • Well, I never did make peace with February……

    The finished work I did after the sketch, (the sketch I liked), I felt Eh about.  So, the large work has been put aside for a long, long time.  I may go back to it, but right now, it’s time for other projects. I mean, after all, February’s over…..which means it’s March…..which means it will…

  • Time to Crawl Back into the Hole…

    Finished.  Well before the deadline.  Now I have some time between this and the canvas for Aidan has a Posse, to do something for myself.  The idea of a singer which appealed to me originally, is not clicking, now.  Kwan Yin?   Maybe….. Anyway, the finish of “Winged Foal” for Pony Rides for a Purpose.

  • No Time like the Present

    I think I’ve accomplished enough on “Winged Foal” to show where it’s going.  I can tell I’m going to have to make the color of the horse a little more intense, as well as blending in the bottom of the background.  So, in all it’s glory (so far), “Winged Foal”   (Grammar police note: I…
