  • It’s That Time Again…

    It’s That Time Again…

    I renewed this blog again. I wasn’t sure if I was going to, it gets expensive after a while, but here I went, and did it anyway. Which brings to mind, just what was I doing over ten years when I started this blog? This was the last picture on display long, long time ago.…

  • Originality is for nerds

    Originality is for nerds

    In my own backyard…Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. When I was a teenager, another student asked me, “Why do you always draw trees?” I like trees, and I still do. Not to mention, there are a lot of them So,shoot me. I may draw the same subject over and over. If that’s good enough…

  • 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…

  • A Stroll in the Old Neighborhood…

    Here I am, being nostalgic again. As we were packing the car with a load of *stuff* to take to the new place, I saw my landlord’s chair, against the stone wall. He’s had it there all the years we lived there, probably many years before, and now…. It got me thinking of how the…

  • Good-bye, New York

    Well, I’m settled into my own place in Connecticut, now.  It occurs to me, that this is the time of year, I’d get my view of the skyline back, because the leaves would fall off the sycamore.  So, a revisit to that view.

  • 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…

  • Scraggly Weed Finish…I think

    Not sure if I like this….It came out kind of spooky looking. It may end up in the flat file, never again to see the light of day. But, for what it’s worth….here’s the finish of Scraggly Weed. In my diversified Queens neighborhood, action is being taken to remove the real life, scraggly weed. The…

  • The Brothers

    Just a quick note before I tell you about the brothers. Scraggly Weed is coming along much better, and actually looks a big scraggly. Here’s the WIP shot: Okay, the brothers. Up the street from us, is a pair of elderly brothers, sharing a house. One of them is very irritable, so I won’t go…
