    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…

  • What Part of “No” Do You Not Understand?

    What Part of “No” Do You Not Understand?

    Well, I’ve been awake since 12 am, my brain is scrambled, so it’s the perfect time to write a blog post. As for refusing other people’s ideas for drawings, here’s another one, another friend. After making loads of suggestions, she went with me for a walk in a nearby park. I spotted a horse farm,…

  • No. Simply No.

    No. Simply No.

    One thing I think most artists have, is a lot of well meaning people who give you their ideas and pictures., expecting splendid pieces of art. Nope. The earliest experience of that was with my previous partner, the man above. We were living in an inexpensive apartment, our only pets were 6 legged vermin. Lots…

  • Here’s A Little Story

    Here’s A Little Story

    And it goes like this… Okay, I lied. It’s not much of a story, it’s a blog post about my latest drawing. I’m coming to the end of my winter art, and my quarantine. I’m not sure what February will bring, artwise, but I do know I’ll have my foot up and ice on my…

  • I’m Sick of This

    I’m Sick of This

    One thing or another, I haven’t been able to do artwork. Earlier in the month, I had Covid-19. I also was getting ready for knee replacement surgery. As it turns out, I’m feeling fine, no one who has been in contact with me has gotten sick, and I quarantined as required. As it turns out,…

  • What A Card!

    What A Card!

    I’ve always wondered where the term card came from, to describe a witty person. No, I haven’t always wondered that, but it was a good excuse to hop on Google. Evidently, the first use of the term in literature was from Dickens, I think it said 1863. But I’m talking about notecards, greeting cards and…

  • 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…

  • IT COMES DOWN TO THIS……

    IT COMES DOWN TO THIS……

    One day,, two little abstracts later, and I’m already bored. I remember an art class in 5th grade. We were given a lot of sticks, told to drop the sticks anywhere the cardboard we were given, have fun don’t make anything. While the other students were making abstracts worthy of Jackson Pollack, I decided to…
