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 […]

Turn, Turn, Turn
There was a song big in the sixties, during the folk music era. The lyric went something like this; To everything, turn turn turn…there is a season, turn turn turn, and a time to every purpose under heaven. Some of you, I know, remember this song. Some of you, will remember it because your parents […]

And Then It Dawned On Me
On nights when I’ve had trouble sleeping, I’ve stared out the window as morning approaches. The sky looks peaceful and promising, not vibrant and bright as it does at sunset. So, what makes a sunrise picture look different than a blazing sunset? “Red sky at night, sailors’ delight” Red sky at morning, sailors take warning” […]

I’m talking about the […]

I’d see ideas for artwork, but I’d shiver in disgust at the thought of drawing. So, I stopped for a while. I don’t make […]

Anyway, between getting ready for the show, and doing my household chores (yes, I really do do some), I did some art. Now talking about Paradise, you know the whole thing, […]

The Worst of 2016….and Moving Forward…
I’m still a little groggy this morning. I stayed up until midnight to see the ball drop in Time Square. Makes me think, all the years I lived in New York City, and close proximity, I never made good on my intention to go to New Years in Times Square. I think the lack of […]

Fading away
When I first moved to Danbury, the ideas for pictures came in a rush. It was a lot like being in a wild, passionate beginning stage of love. Once the highs and lows have straightened out, you’re either left with a solid, loving friendship..or a lot of bittersweet memories. As it was, I really was […]
