    There’s Something Strange Going On Around Here

    Ok, as is not unusual for me, I’m dealing with an on and off depression. Definitely prefer the times when the depression is off, but that doesn’t prevent me from doing things when the depression is on. As in artwork. I used to swear not too do it, but this time, I was halfway through…

  • GoodBYE, Roxyart; Hello Roxyart

    GoodBYE, Roxyart; Hello Roxyart

    This is to let you know, if you’ve been getting here via the URL roxyart.com, it will no longer get you here. Use roxannebaldwin.com, instead. Roxyart.com was my first domain name, which I got in 1998. It has some sentimental value for me, so I hung onto it for a long time. My first website…

  • Turning Back Time

    Turning Back Time

    I was wondering,  thinking about the learning curve I’m facing, whether it would be best to keep making versions until I got one that I liked.  That, is, after all, the way I learned to handle colored pencils in the beginning…….I’d just go over them and over them, until I  was so frustrated, I nearly…

  • All in a Day’s Work

    I’m kind of struggling here.  I’m trying to catch the excitement that I had for the artwork I did in New York, but have yet to capture in Connecticut.  Most of my work here, has come out boringly representational.  I kind of realize the elements I’m missing… I did put human objects as subject matter,…

  • It’s Raining In New York

    As well as raining here. My friend just asked me the other day if I regretted moving from NYC  to Connecticut.  Truth is, I don’t.  I think I already went into how I remember the romance and excitement of the City, but not the humdrum stress.  Like the idea of New York City in the…

  • I Miss New York! Well, Not Exactly….

    I actually miss Manhattan.  Unfortunately, there was no magic way to teleport from Queens to Manhattan, and vice versa, so I was stuck, along with millions of others…with the subway.  I’ve seen some beautiful artwork romanticizing the subway, but it’s not a romantic memory to me. But yes, I do miss Manhattan.  It’s the part…

  • I have conquered the monster!

    Finally, I have done a version of the Manhattan skyline at dusk that I think I can live with.   At least well enough.  Now, I can go to my grave a satisfied person. Now what?   Christmas is coming, and I’m getting ready for the fair.  That’s my focus for now, getting merchandise ready…

  • Half Asleep and a WIP

    Erg.  Yawn, Ooompph. I took a sleeping pill last night because I’ve been having insomnia. A lot of things on my mind I guess,  though good.  Except the car breaking down 😦 What’s on my mind?   I’m getting ready for a holiday season where I will be selling my own products instead of someone…
