  • Rememember When?

    Rememember When?

    Okay, here’s another work-in-progress, but only a tiny corner that I found interesting. Then when I looked closer, I saw something that looked familiar to me. For those of us who took standardized tests in elementary school, and the SATs too, the little ovals made me think of the ovals we filled in on those…

  • This Is Going to Be a Doozy

    This Is Going to Be a Doozy

    Does Nature ever give you a gift? One special moment, one glimpse of sublime beauty that will last forever? Or God, or Universe, or Krishna etc.? I had one such moment as I was getting ready to do this particular drawing, of this particular tree: It was a honeybee, gathering nectar from a maple tree…

  • One Step at a Time

    One Step at a Time

    I’ve always been able to find inspiration for artwork within a couple of blocks of where I live. That was true in NYC, too. For instance: A couple of doors down from me. Finding so much inspiration is something I’m pretty proud of. Perhaps it’s silly, but there it is. Same with the tree I…

  • Springtime Sonata, or Something Like That

    Springtime Sonata, or Something Like That

    I’m a little groggy this morning, the rain and gray weather is affecting me. At 5 foot nothing, a lot of people would say I’m a little anything. I proudly announce my diminutive stature, because I realize at this point, there’s no reason to do anything else. Anyway, I digress. This is a blog about…

  • Boomer, Retire!

    Boomer, Retire!

    Well, why don’t I? Surely I’m at the age where I should be sipping white wine on a European beach somewhere. So, why don’t I? Well, stayed tuned, here’s the answer. You read so many accounts about people’s regrets when they are on their deathbeds…….mostly they say they wish they had spent more time with…

    Gratitude is the Cattitude

    Nope, this is not going to be another cat post. It’s about gratitude, and here we begin. I have a few friends that have been in my life for a long time. Today is the birthday of one, one who actually reads my blog! So, thanks for your support all these years, and happy birthday.…

  • You Have No Idea!

    You Have No Idea!

    I finished this a while ago: “Storm Brewing”. Yes, that’s some kind of canine howling at the clouds. It is the start of my cloud series. Since I don’t have any other idea for a cloud drawing, it’s also the end of my cloud series. My next idea is that of a haunted, no really…

  • A Day in my Life….

    A Day in my Life….

    WordPress has been doing a new thing. It has a post of a question, which I imagine is is to trigger bloggers with ideas. Today’s question is, to paraphrase, what is your first hour awake like? What does the beginning of your day? Ok, honestly, if I were to answer that : I make and…

  • And Even More Spring!

    And Even More Spring!

    Do I like Spring? You bet. So much that I am going to show you more. That’s also because I haven’t had a chance to finish any new work. But, more is coming, I promise you that. Here’s a couple of geese with babies. Cute though this picture, these geese were vicious. They, and the…
