  • I Should Explain….

    I Should Explain….

    Here’s the latest: “Fireflies in July If that looks familiar to you, and maybe it doesn’t, I’ll explain anyway. It may remind you of this: That’s because I’m drawing something very familiar to me, which is the porches in this condo complex….so, you see, there’s a good reason for this repetition. Not a particularly interesting…

  • See you soon!

    See you soon!

    Once again, I’m going to disappear for a while, once again, getting ready for a show. This works out well, because I’m stuck for an idea. Actually, instead of stuck because I have no ideas, I actually have too many ideas!

  • January 9, Midmorning

    January 9, Midmorning

    Finally the holiday decorations are disappearing. They’re gone from the mall, they’re gone from Main Street. In fact, the only place that still has Christmas lights left, is the house of our neighbor across the street. He’ll take then down around Valentines day. I suppose that’s not a really big thing to complain about, but…

  • Deep in the Heart of Connecticut

    Yup, I’m in Connecticut.  Soon, I hope to make my artistic debut (or return) in Danbury.  A possible show at the Danbury Library is in the works. Speaking of Connecticut, shout out to the video class of Western Connecticut State University.  My boyfriend, who reminds me of Rodney Dangerfield in “Back to School”, took me…

  • I’m about to do it, again.

    Yes, indeed.  Once was not enough. Actually, three times was not enough. I’m amazed at artists who don’t get bored doing the same subject, or the same motif, without being bored.  Not envious, mind you, just amazed. Confession: I looked through my old drawings earlier and found a lot of repeat subjects.  Lots of landscapes,…

  • What about it, Roxy, are you still a genius?

      Somebody put this on my Facebook newsfeed.  Could go for my art career as well.  My plan was to be a successful, famous artist by the time I was 25.  Yeah, right.  In  a world where feces in a can is art, I didn’t stand a chance.  Not to mention,that if I had made…

  • A Day in the Life, and a Work in Progress

    Damn!  This is the first day off from work I’ve had in seven days.  I had forgotten how precious free time is when you work full time. Most important thing done today, laundry.  Honestly, I couldn’t have gone any longer without washing clothes, unless I turned them inside out and wore them that way.  As…

  • Perspective is a Bitch!

    I always thought by the time I got to this stage of my life as an artist, perspective would be a breeze……yeah, right.  The photo wasn’t clear, and it never occurs to me to actually LOOK at the porch across the street to see how the lines go to the vanishing point.  So, my absence…

  • Monday Morning coming down…

    Happy New Week, my friends Here’s the sketch for this picture that I don’t have a title for yet.  You can get an idea of the whole lost and found lines and color blocks.  I may get a chance to work on the large version today, but like most people….today I go to my day…
