    A Day in my Life….

    WordPress has been doing a new thing. It has a post of a question, which I imagine is is to trigger bloggers with ideas. Today’s question is, to paraphrase, what is your first hour awake like? What does the beginning of your day? Ok, honestly, if I were to answer that : I make and…

  • It’s spring!

    It’s spring!

    Yes, it’s spring. I haven’t had a chance to do any new work. I thought I’d take you on a stroll of early spring in years past. We’re waiting for a visit from our landlord to fix the leaky kitchen sink. That’s it for now. To see more of my work, go to http://roxannebaldwingallery.com

    Sitting Here Resting My Bones

    As I’ve mentioned, probably ad nauseum, that I am recovering from knee surgery. Which, as I also said, is getting in the way of artwork. Yet, I’m being told to have a successful blog, you must write a post every week, preferably more often. I have no new work. So where does that leave me?…

  • Calm Down, Calm Down

    Calm Down, Calm Down

    We have a very sweet cat, named Pumpkin. He’s calm most of the time, except when we’re late giving him his breakfast, or pet him to the point of annoyance. In those cases, he either gives you a nibble with his teeth, or a swat with his claws. My boyfriend has some kind of magic,…

    IN the wink of an eye

    For those of you who noticed…….I took down my last post. For those of you who didn’t notice…it’s just as well. I was working on this, but was tired and sick…didn’t I once title a post, “Friends don’t let other friends draw sick”. If I didn’t I should have. I put up a post and…

  • Welcome!

    Welcome!

    Whoop,there it is Sometimes, I think an alter ego sneaks into my pencil box. I find I do something that doesn’t resemble the rest of my at all. Channeling maybe? I try not to think much about it. Anyway I don’t know how well this drawing shows up, so here it is again It reminds…

  • Taking a second look

    Taking a second look

    So,it’s kind of like this…and I am sure that all of you go through this, no matter what you do…. Finding something that you discarded as totally, totally awful, then deciding it’s not so bad. As is the case with this. See,I hated the damn thing so much that I didn’t delicately trim it. Looking…

  • Buzzing

    Buzzing

    Ever have one of those damn bugs, buzzing around your head in a threatening manner?  You don’t know whether to swat and kill the damn thing, or steadfastly ignore it.  Ideas in art can be the same way. The drawing I’m referring to is based on this photo:   Trust me.  It was a lot…

    The Bronx is up……….

    Yes, I promised birds…………BUT. I changed my mind again. I found the files of old work, which was this woman’s treasure.  There’s a lot of stuff that I don’t think I put on this blog…was on my old Blogger Blog that still exists somewhere in the vast Universe of the internet, probably.  Maybe not, and…
