A Murder of Crows
It’s snowing furiously outside right now. Which brings me to the subject of crows. They’re hardy, they’re there in the cold winter as well as the spring and summer. For those of you who don’t know it, a group of crows is called a murder. I didn’t find that out until a couple of years…

I Don’t Know Where to Draw the Line
Literally and figuratively. This started out as a view that I saw when I was terribly, terribly bored. It’s a tree I saw out a window. Pretty boring, right? So, having nothing better to do, I decided to draw the tree and the window. Honestly, I meant it to be more realistic, but as I…

FINALLY!
For the first time in months, I’ve created something that i can be proud of. I think I’m going to title it “Tree Trunk In Summer”. For those of you who might what was going through my mind when I drew this, I’ll have to disappoint you. It’s nothing more than I saw this scene,…

Happy Autumn!
I have to admit, I’m beginning to like autumn. It’s cool weather ends the hot weather of summer. Much as I love summer, I look forward to the end of it. Also, the colors of the leaves are another reason I like fall. Here, I was just stepping out of the car and saw this.…

I had one such moment as I was getting ready to do this particular drawing, of this particular tree: It was a honeybee, gathering nectar from a maple tree…

Blown Away
What do I think of other artists’ work? I love it! I love it better than my own work, if I am honest. Mostly, I prefer representational work, although some abstract blows me away, too. What I really like is work similar to my own, only better. Frustration hits, though, when something in the non-art,…

I’m Speechless!
No, not really, I just thought it would be a good title. This is my latest, and if you look closely, you’ll see a bird and a couple of squirrels. One thing I discovered is that just drawing leaves turns out to be boring to both the artist and the viewer. I’m pretty happy with…

What Have I Gotten Myself Into?
First off…I’ve been learning a lot about marketing, and of course, blogging. The instructor said to write a blog post every week. I don’t know how I can do that, my life, like everyone, comes in fits and start. For instance, a lot’s been going on since my post yesterday, and then I have times…
