Hello Dolly!
Please forgive the pun. This is a drawing of dolls. You see, a couple of years ago, a friend and I when to a huge thrift shop. I mean huge! It was several miles away from the little city I call home. As we hunted through the treasures, I saw a display of antique dolls.…

White on….. What?
I’ve always been intrigued by works of art that are compositions of white on white. So, Ive made some attempts doing this. Mind you, with colored pencils, it’s really impossible to do completely. Maybe if I get back to working in acrylics again/ An example of this is “Blizzard: Incidentally, I have a goal to…

A Day in my Life….
WordPress has been doing a new thing. It has a post of a question, which I imagine is is to trigger bloggers with ideas. Today’s question is, to paraphrase, what is your first hour awake like? What does the beginning of your day? Ok, honestly, if I were to answer that : I make and…

A Corner on the Market
I’m not one into doing WIPs, since I don’t think they’re of any interest to anyone but me. The one above, however, had an abstract effect, so I added it anyway. It’s actually just the corner, and I have a long way to go. What came to mind as I did that, is what about…
