    Start with what you know….

    Summer and spring are almost too pretty to come up with something interesting and moody.

  • Belated Happy Imbolc/Groundhog Day/Candlemas/St Brigid’s Day

    Or whatever floats your boat in early February.  I’m very glad to see the sunshine returning. I’ve got my recent drawing of the tree with the heart carved in it, stuck in my mind.  I like the idea, but not the result.  I think I’m going to try it again, but with a bit more,…

  • Good News…For Me at Least

    I’ve been accepted into the art show of winter themed art, “Winter Wonderland”.  It’s going to be at the Botte Shop in Mamaroneck, NY on January 20th 2018 from 1:00 pm to 4:00.  I wish I could be there, but I have to be elsewhere. The elsewhere I have to be, is the Michael’s Store…

  • A Winter’s Tale…

    This winter has been devoted to greeting cards, and gifts.  With my lack of energy in the winter, I’ve had a hard time being able to tackle much in the way of creative work.  Part of my brain hibernates, I swear, and lies dormant until March. Looking at my previous winter’s output, there a lot…

  • Winter Depression….Just Deal with it!

    The title is a note to myself, not to those others who are suffering from SAD.  It makes one third of the year horrible, so I have tried many techniques through my art to …just deal with it! So, one year, I did a drawing each month to make peace.. An example was making peace…

  • Looking at the Smaller Picture…

    Without working in the retail Christmas rush, I have gotten past the rush.  Now, New Year’s is on the horizon, and then that expanse of time known as winter. Last year, I spent winter exploring the new landscape around me, a suburban, not New York City surrounding.  Nothing much has changed in this new area…

  • Remember Pumpkin? Throwback Thursday

    I can’t share with you what I am working on right now, so, I’m puttering around. We’ve got a cold, wintry mix in Danbury.  So, good news..we managed to recapture our kitty Pumpkin.  As you may recall, we captured him last December, from our former home in New York City.  This past spring, however, the call of…

  • Deep, Dark, and Dreary.

    This past winter, I didn’t really complete much in the way of artwork.  I doodled and experimented, which was important to do, but I only did one completed piece.  Most of the time, I passed the dark winter watching YouTube music videos.  Could have been worse. I did complete one, which I decided I didn’t…

  • Snow Days

    I, like most residents of the East Coast, got socked in by the snow.  Darkness or low barometer, I don’t know, but I had little or no energy.  I did not much of anything, either artwise or housework wise. I decided to do little OSWOA, or Other Small Works of Art, since I am running…
