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 […]

Drawing From the Crypt
I’m putting together another video for the art show I’ve been accepted into. Remember this? It’s going to be in the Rockland County art show. It’s a virtual show. I used to turn my nose up at the idea of a virtual show, but that’s changed. Times have changed. Not to mention, I actually sold […]

I guess this is what I’m doing these days

Blackout !
“I’ve seen the lights go out on Broadway, I’ve seen the Empire State laid low.” – Billy Joel Right now, Rose Garden is going slowly. It’s through no fault of my own, but pet owners will understand. Pumpkin has taken up a new sleeping spot, right behind my easel. It’s a choice between letting […]

This is not my Photograph
Fabulous Photo I found this on Google Earth, and it’s credited to Jan Prosek. I’ve been trying to seek out a website or a link to his work, to give him proper credit. It’s fantastic. I have artist envy. I also wish I could find a way to paste the image in, rather just link […]
