• My Lucky Break

  

  My lucky break that I missed and didn’t take. It could have been just my imagination, nothing of consequence to anybody but me. It may have been nothing of consequence, but I’m going to tell you about it anyway. One of my day jobs was working as a sales associate in the Metropolitan Museum of […]

• Leaving On a Jet Plane

  

  As I was drawing this, the song “Leaving on a Jet Plane”, kept going through my mind. For those to young to know it, it was written by John Denver, although many other musical artists covered it. Sadly, John Denver died in a small plane crash, in 1997. Maybe not a jet plane, but it […]

• What do I do, Now?

  

  As I was saying, there’s something in this drawing that catches my imagination. But, now what? I had no idea where to take it. All I knew, is that I didn’t want to set it in New York city. So where then? Rural? Another city? Suburban? All I could come up with were either boring […]

• Anticipation

  

  When last we saw our heroine, she was happily contemplating a new supply of art paper, and time to do work. But the paper wasn’t arriving. Then it dawned on her. We’re in a pandemic, and art paper is not considered a necessity. So, disappointed, she went back to creating a handmade face mask. That’s […]

• I guess this is what I’m doing these days

  

  Sometimes, I surprise myself.  Sometimes, I’m surprised that I surprise myself.  I thought the line of drawing styles went neatly from A to B to C, and so forth.  I’m wrong. I did a drawing of a sky.  I thought it would turn out like this: Much to my surprise, it didn’t.  Am I using […]

• 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 […]

• Not for Sale

  

  My wrist is getting better, and I am savoring (More like salivating over) the prospect doing artwork again.  Yes, in a little more than a week, my cast will be off. A little physical therapy, and I’ll be good to go. After that announcement, I want to know…are you tired of blogs (including mine), trying […]

• Bricks

  

  A little background info…. I’ve been away for a while, in case you haven’t noticed. I needed some time to reflect, think about where I’ve been, where I’m going and most importantly, where I am. And it all comes down to bricks…well, sort of. When I first really got going working in colored pencil, I […]
