    This Is Going to Be a Doozy

    Does Nature ever give you a gift? One special moment, one glimpse of sublime beauty that will last forever? Or God, or Universe, or Krishna etc.? 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…

    One Step at a Time

    I’ve always been able to find inspiration for artwork within a couple of blocks of where I live. That was true in NYC, too. For instance: A couple of doors down from me. Finding so much inspiration is something I’m pretty proud of. Perhaps it’s silly, but there it is. Same with the tree I…

  • Blown Away

    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!

    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…

    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…

  • More Trees, Please!

    More Trees, Please!

    Looking back on the final version of “Reserved”, I am disappointed. I had such high hopes for it. It may end up in my New Years “worst “. Live and,with any luck at all, learn But! I did a drawing today, which might work large. It’s bold enough with a good solid design. This is…

    REserved!

    But something I have copyright on is my own work. So, here are some drawings of the sun shining through.

    The Devil is in the Details

    My father was a detail man.  He was a commercial artist, and his specialty was filling in the designs on the fabric of shirts, pants, diamonds, and just about anything else that was advertised.  I can’t imagine how he had the patience to do such a thing, but, perhaps it’s just that it was income,…
