Quick
Did a revision to “Day is Done”. I guess what I thought……minimalist, less is more, and all that…. Woke up in the morning, had some coffee, and realized I had missed the mark. Fortunately, I didn’t make a big enough boo-boo to ruin the drawing…. So, as things are going, I may take a look […]

I’m Tired
Am I tired? You betcha. Synapses barely firing. I don’t know why. The weather maybe. Don’t know, but I’m tired. Everybody goes through this I know. Anyway, while I’m tired, I have to make a monumental, earth shattering decision. Okay, not exactly earth shattering, but doesn’t any decision feel that way when you’re tired? I […]

Let’s Be Realistic
So, I’ve been diddling and doodling around with these drawings, so far, try to get the perfect balance of realistic drawing and fanciful design. I redid 101. Having done the one that was mostly a half-hearted try at a good realism, I decided to have a little fun instead. Here’s the redo, of 101. These […]

What’s in the Box
So, as I have the time, I’ve been plodding along, a snail’s pace, slowly, working on my notecards. Once again, I’m feeling in a level mood, I can concentrate, and not everything looks bad. My wrist is becoming more flexible finally. Spring is off to a good start. So, here are recent additions to the […]

Get Out the Tanning Butter!
The title happens to be from the song “Rock Lobster”, by the B-52s. Strangely enough, that happens to be Our Song. Yes, that’s the romantic tune to which my partner and I bonded, on our first date. Most importantly, it was the Labor Day weekend, the last of the lazy, hazy days of summer. Ah, […]

Summer Vacation
I’m going to have to take a break from artwork for a while. I have ideas, but all of them contain lots and lots of foliage. You know what? I’m sick to death of drawing lots and lots of foliage, and I’ve also about run out of green pencils. So, until I either come up […]

I Should Know Better.
Sunday morning seems to be the worst time for publishing a blog post. So, here I am, and raring to go. Maybe my readers are still sleeping, or worshiping, or maybe going to a pleasant brunch! So… I finished the strawberry note card last night. I’m trying to decide whether it would make a good, […]

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like….OH NO!!!
As Summer arrives with the ending days of June, we look forward to the end of the Fiscal Year. That’s right folks, while you’re enjoying the Fourth of July, and trips to the beach, people in retail are getting ready for the December holidays. Even artists are starting to look for the venues for […]

Even Endless Comes to an End
So, I’ve been working…okay, intermittently working on this drawing. I was rapt about the possibilities I could use to render the abstract shapes in the leaves. I must admit, I thoroughly enjoyed doing this picture. No doldrums, no boredom, I was on a roll. But all good things (and yes, bad things) come to an […]
