  • Well, so much for that…..

    Making Peace with January?  Well, this version has been relegated to the pile of abandoned projects with the hope that I will see hope in taking it up again.  Or at least I hope. Anyway, while I’ve been working on it, the moody sunsets you only get in the wintertime have been attracting me. Unlike…

  • Sometimes, you just gotta say @&^$^ it.

    Okay, maybe it’s karma I earned for the pride I expressed in how much easier doing art is for me, now. …but I’m in a real mess with “Making Peace with January”.  After delicately laying color, it was bland and going nowhere, and I didn’t know what to do next. So, I started scribbling, and…

  • Totally clueless in New York City

    So, I’m working on “Making Peace with January”.  Repetitive work again, therefore, I must take it in small bits because 1.  It’s driving me nuts 2.  I have no idea where I’m going with this.  Did I mention that it’s driving me nuts? I’ve been having a string of nights when I can’t sleep.  I…

  • TGIM

    Thank God it’s Monday.  I know that may not be popular among people who work Monday through Friday, but I have worked all weekend.  I’m off tomorrow and Wednesday.  So, I’m being contrary and what else is new? I didn’t get much time to do artwork….but I am working on Making Peace with January.  It…

  • December’s Over…so is 2014

    A good way to start the New Year is to finish what you start, and no, I don’t mean the bottle of vodka.  I finished “Making Peace with December”, this morning.   Here ’tis. So, one more month of the dreaded winter, gone.   Happy New Year, everyone.  May your 2015 be awesome, fabulous, fantastic…and…

  • Another Wip…………and I LOVE computers <3 <3 <3

    Yes, computers are awesome…but I’ll get back to that in a minute. It occurs to me that I have done many drawings (including the one I’m working on now) of the sycamore tree out front.  I have however, never posted a photo of it, so you can see it’s beauty for real…so, here’s the view…

  • December Blues

    I guess the title of this should be “Making Peace with December”, perhaps I should carry on that theme. But in other news, I actually spent real money promoting my page on Facebook. I was skeptical since I tried Google Adwords, and all that happened is I lost a lot of money.  But this Facebook…

  • My Little Chickadee…dee,dee,dee….

    I’m working on the drawing that I sketched earlier in the week. Since wintertime is such a hard time for me, and many others, I’ve decided to make my work this season devoted to making peace and healing with this cold, dark time of year. Another theme I’m working on, as a healing subject, is…

  • It’s about the process, not the product…….or something like that

    So, here’s the sketch…another with the theme of making peace with winter.  I finally did the skeleton of the sycamore’s pale branches against an bright blue sky.  Voila (sorry, I’m working for a French company, it sneaks into my vocabulary now and then). So, now the promised topic……… Every so often, art work is done…
