The View
By the view, I’m not talking about the TV show with Whoopi Goldberg, Barbara Walters, Rosie O’Donnell etc. This is about the drawing I have above, “View From Mayer Mountain”. There is no exciting story about the creation of this. I have a friend who believes, like magic, there’s some deep meaning. In some cases,…

Stuck in a Winter Wonderland
I’ve been working so hard on holiday cards, it’s hard to believe it’s not winter. I look outside, and I expect to see snow. It’s been gray and rainy here for a week, it’s hard to believe that, at least for a few days, it’s still summer. The only drawing I can think of from…

Good Morning!
I don’t know what that Remaster is, but I can’t seem to delete it unless I delete the picture with it. At long last, a complete drawing! I finally got a supply of paper in, and this is the result. So, what to say about it. I have a friend who insists that everyone is…

Sunrise, Sunset
I’ve got a question….why do most artists paint or draw sunsets? I guess it’s the bright colors, especially if over water. I don’t understand this. A sunrise it as beautiful as a sunset, only in a different way. The colors are subtle and muted. Also, it’s a sign of promise. The dark night is gone,…

Sometimes, Roses Are Pink
I wasn’t sure what to title this piece, I was thinking about “Roses, Curves and Lines”. It would give the viewer an idea of the abstract qualities of this drawing. I see that I cropped this picture wrong. What a load of crop! Sorry, bad pun. I’ll be photographing all my work again, in a…

Beep-a-beep-beep, Yeah!!!!
More Beetlemania. I was trying to come up with a title for this, and all l could think of was: beep-a-beep-beep, yeah! I just couldn’t remember where I had heard that. Of course, that’s a line from the Beatle’s “Baby, You Can Drive My Car”. I was going to title this “Relic in the Driveway”,…

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…

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
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…
