  • Some Information about Me….

    I don’t go into my past that much, I pretty much believe in making the best of things and moving on.  I realize, though, not giving you the perspective of my early life, may make the philosophy behind my work seem naive, maybe even Pollyanna-ish.  Also, maybe others hearing about the struggles I have gone…

  • Oh, the AGONY…..

    “Winged Foal” is coming along agonizingly slow.  It could be because I picked up a heavy, cast iron pan with my right hand alone.  Managed to do something to my wrist and hand.   They’re sort of numb, now, making it hard to grasp a pencil.  So, enough complaining.

  • Connecticut Fantasy Finish

    As I was going to work yesterday, our landlord came bursting out the back door. He wanted to show us that there were berries falling all over our car, and to be careful. Then he pointed out a tree I hadn’t noticed before. A mulberry. Mulberries are found in Connecticut. There were two in my…

  • All the best intentions….

    Evidently, the charity that I send my drawings to had a problem with its venue…so my work will be sent back. Maybe they’ll find someplace else in the future.

I’m also posting because…

  • Freedom Tower in Spring….the finish

  • Next Work in Progress, Freedom Tower in Spring, and an artist’s frustrations

I’m having fun with this.  There was a time when art wasn’t fun for me. I probably did my best work…
