• Day is Done

  

  It seems to be a new thing with me. I get tired, brain fried, and that seems to be the time I decide to write a blog post. Take from that what you will. This time I am reasonably well rested. The subject was trees,wasn’t it? Well,this is the newest one. It’s the complete version […]

• I like trees

  

  Just as I like cats. When I was in high school, another girl my age, grumbled,”Why do you do so many trees?”. I thought it was a silly question, so I just told her “I like trees “. In remembrance of that girl, I have named this drawing, “I like trees”. Honestly, I always wonder […]

• A little bit of this, a little bit of that

  

  It looks as if my subject matter in Danbury, Connecticut is going the same way as in Sunnyside, Queens.  Bits and pieces of the neighborhood, put together in multiple ways…so, I’m starting… A little bit of this: A little bit of that…. And then there’s that… Not to mention this… And believe it or not……this: […]

• What’s your sign, Babe?

  

  For those of you who weren’t around in the 1960’s, or weren’t paying attention, astrology was a big thing.  At parties, in classrooms, on jobs, “What’s your sign?”, was the big question…yeah, pretty lame, but it was a good icebreaker. For those of you who are interested, I’m a Pisces. For those of you who […]

• Next Episode……….Same time, same place

  

  When we last left Roxanne, she was in turmoil as to what to do next………..then she took a nap, had some coffee, and watched an old episode of “WKRP in Cincinnati” on YouTube.  Her mind was cleared with an ethereal sense of purpose.  “I’ve got it!” She cried. In the meantime, getting back to here […]

• 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 […]

• Questionable Quandary

  

  Hurray for spell check!  Otherwise, I would have misspelled quandary. Thank God for the blessings of our digital world.  Some of those blessings I’m not so fond of, however. But I digress.  This blog is about art, not the information age. So, now the quandary. My latest drawing came out very well, in my opinion.  […]

• Missed the Boat…

  

  Every so often, I do something that, to me, is unacceptable.  In other words I….fail. Usually I don’t redo the ones that miss the mark, but this time I will. The featured picture is probably the best of the tries I made of this idea.  I did it when I was painting with acrylic, rhinestones […]

• And Poof, it was gone

  I’m talking about the post I just wrote, and lost. Ah, well.  Facebook keeps reminding me that I haven’t posted in a while.  I apologize for my absence.  The truth is, I’ve run straight into a brick wall of an artist’s block. I’m as stuck as  a car in a muddy ditch. This has happened […]
