    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

    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…

  • Gratitude is the Cattitude

    Gratitude is the Cattitude

    Nope, this is not going to be another cat post. It’s about gratitude, and here we begin. I have a few friends that have been in my life for a long time. Today is the birthday of one, one who actually reads my blog! So, thanks for your support all these years, and happy birthday.…

  • You Have No Idea!

    You Have No Idea!

    I finished this a while ago: “Storm Brewing”. Yes, that’s some kind of canine howling at the clouds. It is the start of my cloud series. Since I don’t have any other idea for a cloud drawing, it’s also the end of my cloud series. My next idea is that of a haunted, no really…

  • In Other News

    In Other News

    I’m still stumbling forth. I have however, completed some of the note cards I started, just to do SOMETHING! These remind me of some of the labor I did to drop retail to do something more meaningful and creative. Let’s see, ACEOs, note cards, portraits, quick sketch portraits, and the list goes on. One thing…

  • It’s That Time Again…

    It’s That Time Again…

    I renewed this blog again. I wasn’t sure if I was going to, it gets expensive after a while, but here I went, and did it anyway. Which brings to mind, just what was I doing over ten years when I started this blog? This was the last picture on display long, long time ago.…

  • Hello Darkness and All the Rest of my Friends

    Hello Darkness and All the Rest of my Friends

    Well the story goes like this. I’ve been having a string of sleepless nights, and then, I realized one night it was dark. I hadn’t been really conscious of it, but with the thinning of the veil, the approach of Halloween, or Samhain as I observe, it really sank in. The darkness. So, this is…

  • Well, That Went Over Like a Lead Balloon

    Well, That Went Over Like a Lead Balloon

    As you may recall, I was going to start another blog on my new gallery site, and leave this one in the dust. It just wasn’t a great design for a blog, I couldn’t add pictures, and I’ve got all of you over here already enjoying what I write. So, for my gallery site, go…

  • Shakin’ It Up

    Shakin’ It Up

    Thought I’d try something different for a change. I know, I know, I often say I’m going to change my artwork, do one different picture, then back to the same old stuff. So, I’m just going to, as I wrote, try. So, I finally did do a version of the small airplane that I like.…
