  • Disappointment

    Disappointment

    I’ve had a very disappointing week. Here’s my sob story. Actually, it’s not all that bad, just frustrating. I ended up out of ideas. I just thought it was necessary for me to do something, so I wouldn’t fall into a slump. So, I created “Tree of Life in Winter”, because I had every intention,…

  • Snowbound

    Snowbound

    I’ve been busy this week! I actually did two drawings this week. I think that is not my enterprise that affected me. It’s more like the weather is bitter cold, and I don’t want to go anywhere. Also, a week ago, it snowed and it hasn’t melted yet. As it is, I’ve seen more snow…

  • The Renassiance

    The Renassiance

    Or actually, my renassiance, if I may be so grandiose. But once again I have ideas that excite me, back to back and waiting in line. So, I’ll share my latest, which I’m having a hard time finding a title for. It is a scene from a train ride, from coming back from visiting my…

  • Post Holiday Blues

    Post Holiday Blues

    Well, not really all that blue. I have my artwork to do, and that’s positive. There’s this drawing that I completed recently. Since it’s winter, I decided to do a winter landscape at sunset. I based it on this drawing I created a few years back. Silhouettes of trees are always graceful. There you go…..just…

  • When in Doubt…..

    When in Doubt…..

    Draw a cat. That’s my go to when I don’t have any other ideas. The cat drawing I tried to do was going nowhere. It was going along well, until I drew the cat’s front leg. It didn’t go so well. It kind of looked like the cat had a thick tail sticking out of…

  • Living the Life

    Living the Life

    Here I am, drawing what I want, get lots of praise, I even sell something once in a while. I helps to have a day job. So, at my tender age, I’ve gone out looking for a job. Retiring without enough money is dismal. An experiment here, I ran through the various motifs, put them…

  • Stuck in a Winter Wonderland

    Stuck in a Winter Wonderland

    I’ve been working so hard on holiday cards, it’s hard to believe it’s not winter. I look outside, and I expect to see snow. It’s been gray and rainy here for a week, it’s hard to believe that, at least for a few days, it’s still summer. The only drawing I can think of from…

  • 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…

  • Springtime Sonata, or Something Like That

    Springtime Sonata, or Something Like That

    I’m a little groggy this morning, the rain and gray weather is affecting me. At 5 foot nothing, a lot of people would say I’m a little anything. I proudly announce my diminutive stature, because I realize at this point, there’s no reason to do anything else. Anyway, I digress. This is a blog about…
