Route 7
This all goes back to when my boyfriend and went DJ’g. I worked both ways. On the way to the gig, I’d be happy to be leaving suburbia behind. I’d look at the lit windows of the houses and be glad to be traveling to some place exciting. Of course, in the late night, coming…

A Murder of Crows
It’s snowing furiously outside right now. Which brings me to the subject of crows. They’re hardy, they’re there in the cold winter as well as the spring and summer. For those of you who don’t know it, a group of crows is called a murder. I didn’t find that out until a couple of years…

The Renassiance
Or actually, my renassiance, if I may be so grandiose. But once again I have ideas that excite me, back to back and waiting in line. So, I’ll share my latest, which I’m having a hard time finding a title for. It is a scene from a train ride, from coming back from visiting my…

Missed the Deadline
My idea was to post every Sunday, but I missed the boat this week. I was working on this drawing “Stephanie’s Driveway”. I was held up because I decided to indicate the texture of the asphalt with little dots. So, there I was, going dot, dot, dot It took a long time, more than anticipated.…

Hello Dolly!
Please forgive the pun. This is a drawing of dolls. You see, a couple of years ago, a friend and I when to a huge thrift shop. I mean huge! It was several miles away from the little city I call home. As we hunted through the treasures, I saw a display of antique dolls.…
