  • A Day in my Life….

    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…

  • Ringing Out the Bad

    Ringing Out the Bad

    I used to have a tradition at New Year to post my worst drawing of the previous year. It was meant as a twist on everyone posting the best. But I drifted away from it. Why? I don’t know. Maybe too much to choose from? One thing about being prolific is that you have proportionately…

  • Hello Darkness and All the Rest of my Friends

    Hello Darkness and All the Rest of my Friends

    Well the story goes like this. I’ve been having a string of sleepless nights, and then, I realized one night it was dark. I hadn’t been really conscious of it, but with the thinning of the veil, the approach of Halloween, or Samhain as I observe, it really sank in. The darkness. So, this is…

  • Back Again

    Back Again

    It occurs to me that any of you who might live nearby, the location of this show will be on Main Street, Danbury CT. It runs from 12-6pm on June 4, 2022. I don’t know where exactly along the festival I’ll be, but I’ll let you know. Getting down to the wire, and I’m going…

  • Drawing From the Crypt

    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…

  • What do I do, Now?

    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…

  • I’ve had it with this

    I’ve had it with this

    What have I had it with? Not being able to do my large pieces.  They are most expressive to me, and what keeps me going. My hand is fine, now, and other than work space, I’m ready. My first piece is going to be a nocturne, of the yard I had when I was a…

  • Good Morning!

    Okay, it’s actually 2:15 EST.  It’s snowy out, and I’m having a hard time getting going on a day like today.  However, I was talking about morning, and so I continue. Another ditty…it’s always darkest just before the dawn.  Literally, when I’m awake all night, I can see a grayness in the sky before dawn. …

  • Words Fail Me

    I’ve been working on a drawing.  First version, I tried to do completely from imagination, and that turned out to be doomed to the trash can.  I should know better by now, that I need good reference pictures to do something believable. Then, good references in hand, I redid the drawing.  This time, I was…
