MORE GREEN, PLEASe
What, might you ask, has the above man strolling down an urban street, have to do with green? Nothing, except, while I was drawing him, my day’s priorities took the sudden turn around. Sometimes, when that happens, that’s a bad sign. This time it is good. How about this? So, why, may you ask, and…

Anticipation
When last we saw our heroine, she was happily contemplating a new supply of art paper, and time to do work. But the paper wasn’t arriving. Then it dawned on her. We’re in a pandemic, and art paper is not considered a necessity. So, disappointed, she went back to creating a handmade face mask. That’s…

Can’t Complain
Wouldn’t help anything if I did… So, as I pointed out, I’ve come to a milestone 10 years….I’m not running out of ideas for the blog, but no so much artwork. Here’s a recap of the blog so far: I’ve complained about how dreary winter is: I’ve complained about Autumn being the entry to the…

Come Bobbing Along, Already!
I have a friend who visits from Thailand every couple of years. He’ll be here in March, and I was starting to make plans……………and he said, “Well that’s two months away”. I really thought it was right around the corner. Thanks for nothing, James! As I said last post, I was going to work on…

Damn! Damn! And Damn Again!
I seem to not be having much success with my artwork these days. First the dogs, and now this. My Welcome to Spring piece is not up to my somewhat perfectionist standards. Grrr. So,while I rethink this, I will share with you a spring drawing I made a few years, back when I lived in…

While We’re Waiting..
I did that cheerful early spring drawing, and now….IRL, we’re back to grey, dull, cloudy days. Anything spring-like I’d have to fake, and that never turns out well. So, I wonder, can I portray beauty in the dismal days? I once tried doing a painting of Park Avenue in New York City on a cloudy…

Haven’t I Seen That Someplace Before?
For me,it sees to be a season of revisiting old themes. Certain things resonate with me, and probably have some deep seated meaning, the way recurring dreams do. At least, these are not recurring nightmares. Phew! So, I revisited empty chairs and cats in the window. So, guess I’ll do another staircase. A couple of…
