    Hello Darkness and All the Rest of my Friends

    Well the story goes like this. I’ve been having a string of sleepless nights, and then, I realized one night it was dark. I hadn’t been really conscious of it, but with the thinning of the veil, the approach of Halloween, or Samhain as I observe, it really sank in. The darkness. So, this is…

  • I Should Explain….

    I Should Explain….

    Here’s the latest: “Fireflies in July If that looks familiar to you, and maybe it doesn’t, I’ll explain anyway. It may remind you of this: That’s because I’m drawing something very familiar to me, which is the porches in this condo complex….so, you see, there’s a good reason for this repetition. Not a particularly interesting…

    Shakin’ It Up

    Thought I’d try something different for a change. I know, I know, I often say I’m going to change my artwork, do one different picture, then back to the same old stuff. So, I’m just going to, as I wrote, try. So, I finally did do a version of the small airplane that I like.…

    Let’s Make That Plane

    Ok, yes, a pun. Sometimes I just run out of imagination for these titles. So, I’ve been doing my small drawings, and I got stuck on the subject of small aircraft. The story is this: I was working on a drawing of clouds, which turned out horribly. But, as with small aircraft, I got stuck…

  • Well, Dang!

    Well, Dang!

    Remember this truck? I’ll bet you do, I think it was only the last post. Anyway, the point being, was that I was raving and hollering about how there was a recession coming up and I was only going to do small, inexpensive drawings. And then it happened……. Nothing. No ideas came to me for…

    Back to the Day Job

    Here’s a shot of the mall, where I work. There’s a carousal, which probably came from the old state fair for which Danbury, CT was known. I’ve done some drawing of the carousal, as this one: And this one: In a sudden turn of subject, there’s a song that was popular in the 60’s……….The Windmills…

  • See you soon!

    See you soon!

    Once again, I’m going to disappear for a while, once again, getting ready for a show. This works out well, because I’m stuck for an idea. Actually, instead of stuck because I have no ideas, I actually have too many ideas!

  • 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…

  • Work It!

    Work It!

    Still working out this art show thing. I’m playing around with different ideas, and one of the ideas is, yes……a dog. German Shepherd to be exact. Forgive the sketchiness, but after all , it is a sketch. My sketches never seem to look as good online as they do in person. But a dog is…
