    No Idea

    Here’s the finish, of, well, some drawing or other. I don’t have a title for it. Ever since that curator said my titles weren’t interesting, I’ve gotten a complex. I thought my titles were interesting! So, what should I call this, that’s interesting? “Dandelion Field with Tree” “Tree with Dandelion Field” “Maple in Bloom with…

    Flying By…

    I’m not doing any artwork right now, except getting ready for the show. I’ve decided to do a different pose of this dog: In the meantime, here’s a true to life story from my true to life life. My brother and his wife had a bit of an emergency, so I had to feed their…

    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,…

    Good afternoon all!  It was a good afternoon, until I coughing.  So, hoping for the best, In the meantime, I haven’t heard of a virtual contagion of coronavirus, so anyone reading this blog is safe.

  • Shabby Sheik? Or Chabby Cheek?

    While I’ve been waiting for the grey, rainy weather to dissipate, I’ve been bored out of my mind, hell!  I’ve been wanting to draw plein aire outside, but it’s been too wet.  Sun is out today, but the grass I would sit in is wet.  So, sigh, I must find something else to occupy my…

  • I Mean, REALLY, Now….

    I’m working on items for the Winter Boutique again, but this time, a little better rested.  So, for serious..here’s the first Holiday Card I’ve done…5 by 7 inches.  It’s pretty neutral in the way it presents a holiday.  It can be either Christmas or Pagan Yule.  I’m going to try to stick with as many…

  • Yay! Snow!

    Snow is in the forecast for today.  We’re not to get hit as hard as if we were still in New York City, but still a sizable amount.  It’s good day to stay inside and do artwork…as if that wasn’t what I’ve been doing for the past week anyway.  Ah, I love the snow.  It’s…

  • What the Heck!

    Okay, here it is:  It’s string, it’s a cat.  It’s the finish of “String Theory, According to Cats”.     This is a portrait of one of my pets who has crossed the Rainbow Bridge.  Her name was Kathy. Anyway, I had a rough night…and I find drawing cats to be soothing.  So, what the…

  • When in Doubt….

    Draw a cat!  Cats are fun to draw, and certainly people pleasing art.  It’s a win/win! However, why not dogs? When I was working in the LaGuardia Airport branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art Gift Shop, we had a display of cat items.  Notepads, notecard, notebooks, everything of note.  A customer came in, said…
