    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…

  • The Devil is in the Details

    The Devil is in the Details

  • Winter Depression….Just Deal with it!

  • Having said all that…

    Yes, it’s been a while.  Topsy Turvy winter into spring…kind of chaotic, don’t want to go there. But still, I’ve had a revelation, I’m more a healer than an artist.  So, I’m going to start my Reiki practice again. But no, I’m not giving up art.  It means so much to me, and to many…

  • Come on in, the Water’s Fine!

    Sometimes, without a real plan, you just have to jump into a drawing.  I took a photo, since I’ve been lost for an idea, and planned to draw it.  I made a pretty sketchy sketch, giving little insight to me on how to %(@@#ing handle the large drawing. So after much deliberation, I decided not…
