  • What’s in the Box

    What’s in the Box

    So, as I have the time, I’ve been plodding along, a snail’s pace, slowly, working on my notecards.  Once again, I’m feeling in a level mood, I can concentrate, and not everything looks bad.  My wrist is becoming more flexible finally.  Spring is off to a good start.  So, here are recent additions to the…

  • I’m Up For a Challenge

    I’m Up For a Challenge

    I honestly thought this would be easy.  I should have known better.  Making note cards with a drawing on them that people would like, and buy.  It’s a challenge, but I’m stubborn.  In fact I’m thinking of getting a tatoo that says that.  “I’m Stubborn” So, another day, another learning curve. This is a small…

  • Making Progress

    Making Progress

    It’s Imbolc for Pagans, and Groundhog day for the rest.  It’s the day that early signs of spring are celebrated..the beginning of the end of the long winter. My cast is off, and I’m on to physical therapy. I can nearly write, which means I can nearly draw.  I’m typing normally again, in other words…badly.…

  • Get Out the Tanning Butter!

    Get Out the Tanning Butter!

    The title happens to be from the song “Rock Lobster”, by the B-52s.  Strangely enough, that happens to be Our Song.  Yes, that’s the romantic tune to which my partner and I bonded, on our first date.  Most importantly, it was the Labor Day weekend, the last of the lazy, hazy days of summer. Ah,…

  • Turn, Turn, Turn

    There was  a song big in the sixties, during the folk music era.  The lyric went something like this; To everything, turn turn turn…there is a season, turn turn turn, and a time to every purpose under heaven. Some of you, I know, remember this song.  Some of you, will remember it because your parents…

  • Give My Regards to Broadway

    Yesterday was the opening of the Pet Art Show, at the Bott Shoppe in Mamaroneck, NY.  If you’re interested in seeing the show, the address is 172 East Boston Post Road.  Besides the show, the Bott Shoppe, has an art studio, classes and art related items in its store.  If you are in the area,…

  • And Changing My Mind Back…

    It’s still wintry around here.  We had the bomb cyclone yesterday, gray skies today.  No daffodils.  No forsythia.  No crocus.  Spring is not in a hurry to get here. So, paper is on order and I worked on the cloudy day drawing I originally intended. So, is it moody…or is it just plain depressing.  I’m…

  • Rushing the Season (and Rushing the Post)

    Spring moves by so fast, I wanted to get a jump on it.  The problem is, by the time I’ve managed to do a drawing of one stage of the season, spring is almost gone!  So, by the time I do a daffodil picture, the lilacs are already gone… My mother one year, greeted spring…

  • Loading…..Spring!……Loading, Loading, Loading….

    First I took this photo.  It’s the door to the office of the Pastor of the church my friend goes to. Then.later that year, I drew this Christmas card… Then, watercolor sample, I painted this…. Loading…Spring…. Do you see where I’m going with this?
