Happy End of the Holidays!
Okay, finally….life is back to normal. I have a little ritual in winter, as the days grow longer. First off is Yule, then Christmas, New Years, and then January 2nd. Here’s the drawing that I made in celebration of t hat celebration. The ritual includes such things as The Superbowl, and Mardi Gras. And of…

Start with what you know….
Summer and spring are almost too pretty to come up with something interesting and moody.

Here’s That Damned Crow Again
Off topic for a moment, and if anyone one of you is a great interpreter of dreams, input is most welcome. I have a recurring dream. I walk in a strange gallery somewhere, and find that my artwork is hanging there. Surprise to me! However, it’s in a style of mine that is old, and…

Snow Days
I, like most residents of the East Coast, got socked in by the snow. Darkness or low barometer, I don’t know, but I had little or no energy. I did not much of anything, either artwise or housework wise. I decided to do little OSWOA, or Other Small Works of Art, since I am running…

Speaking of Christmas Cards…
The below Christmas card is not mine. I wish I could claim it, but no, it’s the creation of one of my favorite illustrators, Evynd Earle. This is from a card that is actually for sale at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Gift Shop, where, once upon a time, I actually worked. So, since…
