A Stroll in the Old Neighborhood…
Here I am, being nostalgic again. As we were packing the car with a load of *stuff* to take to the new place, I saw my landlord’s chair, against the stone wall. He’s had it there all the years we lived there, probably many years before, and now…. It got me thinking of how the […]

It’s about the process, not the product…….or something like that
So, here’s the sketch…another with the theme of making peace with winter. I finally did the skeleton of the sycamore’s pale branches against an bright blue sky. Voila (sorry, I’m working for a French company, it sneaks into my vocabulary now and then). So, now the promised topic……… Every so often, art work is done […]

Putting things in perspective…
The word perspective can mean a couple of things. First of all, the problem I had with Scraggly Weed, and getting the straight lines all wonky. Nearly did it again on Tiger. This time, I caught myself in time, before I really made Hannako’s face asymmetrical, and a general mess. An eye by the nose, […]

Taking it in small bites
My intention in starting “Tiger in the Jungle’, was, as I did in “Pocket Paradise”, was to treat each leaf as a small meditation in itself. However, stress over money and unemployment does not facilitate a particularly Zen state of mind. So, I’m taking this very slowly. Otherwise, I’m going to end up with messy, […]

Back to what’s important….
Cats. Yes, cats. My cat did something cute again. But then, my cat is always doing something cute. I’m sure every every cat guardian feels that way, as well as guardians of dogs, hamsters, and……I don’t know, can goldfish do anything cute? So, here’s the quick sketch of Tiger in the Jungle.
