  • In the Details…

    So, I’ve settled into a comfortable routine with this drawing.  Here’s a progress shot of a detail,   Here’s to show you…an image a long time ago, that I’m trying to improve upon.  Light through the trees is not particularly a paradise image, but it is hopeful.

  • At Last…or What Am I, Nuts?

    I’ve labored long and not so lovingly on this.  I like the result, but damn, the tedium.  I know I’ve talked about the repetitive, long lasting tasks as being meditative, but this time, that didn’t happen.  Doing the ivy made me just about tear my hair out.  So, I did it a little, teeny-tiny bit…

  • On the Subject of Reiki

    I’ve managed to put up my own Reiki site.  So, it’s on its way.  Reiki Master Roxy’s Pages  So, for now, I am using this oldie but goodie drawing of mine as a logo.  In case you haven’t seen it, Sun Tree:

  • Path to…uncertainty.

    So (At the risk of sounding redundant), I have finished a drawing, and I don’t know whether I like it or not.  Do you see a common theme running through my posts?  Anyway, as usual, I’ll put it away for a while, work on something else for a while.  Then I’ll come back to it,…

  • Coloring is the New “Om”

    Recently, there has been a trend using coloring for an adult as a type of meditation.  I’m not opposed to this, it just doesn’t work for me, I find it tedious.  Also, even as a child I was unable to keep within the lines. For those who find it helpful, sounds good to me, go…

  • Insert Something Insightful, here.

    I honestly was trying to come up with a good title, and nothing came to mind.  I got to thinking about how my timeline on Facebook is loaded with insightful messages, that are pretty repetitive and useless.  You know them, the inspirational ones, with backgrounds of sunsets, seashores and nature in general.  So, I decided…

  • Having said all that…

    Yes, it’s been a while.  Topsy Turvy winter into spring…kind of chaotic, don’t want to go there. But still, I’ve had a revelation, I’m more a healer than an artist.  So, I’m going to start my Reiki practice again. But no, I’m not giving up art.  It means so much to me, and to many…

  • Long Time…No See….or did I use this title already?

    I haven’t posted in a while, because of turbulent times in my personal life.  I’ve been laid off from one day job, and I’m starting another. We went for a few days in snowy weather without heat in the condo complex.  And generally, my creativity quotient has been at zero. But in that time, a…

  • I Have Returned..

    Frankly this, I’ve been away with bipolar depression.  It’s part of my life occasionally, but as I say, everyone has some aspect of his/her life that is a problem. So, I did this remake of “Clearing”, which I like better, but still can’t be objective about.
