Deep Six It
Remember the drawing of the person on the bike that I did in last week’s post? I decided with the orange and yellowy stripes, it looked more like a person on a bicycle plowing a wheat field. So, with a purpose to make the asphalt look more like asphalt, I diddled around with it. Then…

Horsing Around
Well, the dog didn’t make the cut. Instead, I decided to go with a horse. Here’s the first sketch: It suddenly dawned on me, that combining an interesting animal with a peaceful landscape not impossible. It’s closer to my sample than a dog in an interior.. I’ll probably put the good old German Shepherd in…

Something To Crow About
Although, I’m most fond of cats, as everyone knows, I also love crows. Oops, sorry, my mistake, that’s not a crow. Anyway, while I was browsing through Facebook, a suggestion for a group came up. It was about loving crows and their ilk. Oh, no, that’s not a crow, either. I could redo it as…

Just what you’ve been waiting to see!
Oooops, wrong picture…that’s my messy easel. Let’s try it again: Okay, not t he best photo in the world, it has a hot spot, but at least I try. Anyway, this is the drawing that’s going into the silent auction. If you’re in the Connecticut area May 3, stop in….lots…

Well, I never did make peace with February……
The finished work I did after the sketch, (the sketch I liked), I felt Eh about. So, the large work has been put aside for a long, long time. I may go back to it, but right now, it’s time for other projects. I mean, after all, February’s over…..which means it’s March…..which means it will…
