    Father and Child

    Happy January 2nd! As some of you know,, I observe this day, by not celebrating. It’s the first day after the damned holiday season. I enjoy the peace and quiet. May you, too. Buh Bye! But the serious point of this blog’s post is “Father and Child”. There have been a lot of mother and…

    Alfred Hitchcock Strikes Again!

    Or maybe it’s Bob Marley’s talking birds saying not to worry. Anyway, birds. Again. We’re into autumn now, soon to take a turn into winter. I will be away for Halloween, visiting and celebrating with a friend in the Midwest. Crows make a great subject for Halloween, and fall in general. And winter, for that…

  • UGLY

    UGLY

    I’ve spent years coming up with ideas to interpret beauty. Thing is, I’m running out of ideas. Which brings me back to something that happened years and years ago. No, actually decades. but we won’t talk about that. I was staying with an artist, who I considered to be a mentor. Considered? She actually was…

    Hi! Just I’d say hi. I’m behind on my artwork. I have an idea, but it’s turning out to be complicated …even the preliminary sketch is labor intensive. This is just to let you know I’m still here. A lot going on in my life, right now. Including a new day job. That’s six, count…

  • What do I do, Now?

    What do I do, Now?

    As I was saying, there’s something in this drawing that catches my imagination. But, now what? I had no idea where to take it. All I knew, is that I didn’t want to set it in New York city. So where then? Rural? Another city? Suburban? All I could come up with were either boring…

    I Can’t Get Over A Guy Like You

    Well, my “Crow in Summer ” bombed. Sometimes that happens. No, actually that often happens. Sometimes, I can fix it. Sometimes, I can redo it. Sometimes, though, I don’t care of enough to do either. Like now. So, that left me with the task of finding a new idea. Nothing came at me in a…

  • Anticipation

    Anticipation

    When last we saw our heroine, she was happily contemplating a new supply of art paper, and time to do work. But the paper wasn’t arriving. Then it dawned on her. We’re in a pandemic, and art paper is not considered a necessity. So, disappointed, she went back to creating a handmade face mask. That’s…

  • Distraction

    Distraction

    I know many artists are making sad art,reflecting the current times. I’m not good at that, my attempts at sad, thoughtful art have been damn depressing. Who needs that? The best I can do is bittersweet. I want to try to contribute something during this sad time, but I don’t have much in way of…

  • Part two

    Part two

    So, I finished the full-sized drawing of Man,Dog, Phone, and Parrot. I guess I could add chain link fence to the title, but that would be too long. I cheated. I started to draw the stairs, got them so out of perspective, that I just decided to make a cubist design out of the background.…
