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
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?
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
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 […]

Have Yourself a Merry, Little….thanksgiving
Yes, I’ve been working on cards. Thanksgiving is coming with the whole conflicting attitude…on one hand, the original Thanksgiving story, and the fate of the Native Americans. That’s especially poignant this year, with the protests of the Dakota Pipeline. However, the idea of a day to count the good we have in our lives, and […]

Happy Halloween, Samhain,….or October 31
Sad to say, I have to take a bit of a break from drawing…I’m having trouble with my thumb due to a repetitive motion injury. I can’t grasp a pencil very well….but fortunately, I can type one finger at a time. I can’t let this day go by without some commemoration. So, tomorrow is November…for […]

Wishing You Joy…and a Couple of Blasts from the Past.
I know I must sound like a broken record, referring to healing art. Simply put, when a person is down and miserable, I want to supply an antidote. My work is unabashedly feel-good, joyous and happy. Making it brings me out of a chronic depression….I hope viewing it makes you happier, too. So, be it. […]
