Damn! Damn! And Damn Again!
I seem to not be having much success with my artwork these days. First the dogs, and now this. My Welcome to Spring piece is not up to my somewhat perfectionist standards. Grrr. So,while I rethink this, I will share with you a spring drawing I made a few years, back when I lived in…

A Stroll in the Old Neighborhood…
Here I am, being nostalgic again. As we were packing the car with a load of *stuff* to take to the new place, I saw my landlord’s chair, against the stone wall. He’s had it there all the years we lived there, probably many years before, and now…. It got me thinking of how the…

How Do You Make a Sunset Gloomy?
I guess “Sundown, September 10” is destined to be a cheerful picture. I really didn’t know how to make it gloomy, and yet be a true picture. I could have made it cloudy, but that wasn’t the idea. It was meant to celebrate a happier time, and as a memorial. So, here is “Sundown, September…

We Were Alll Healers

So, for inspiration, I turned to Google Images, and found a picture of Manhattanhenge. That’s when the sun lines up perfectly with the streets, so the sun sets…

Cheerful Drawing of a Somber Subject
I did the small color sketch of “September 10”, and as I look at it, it seems awfully cheerful. I did put in the World Trade Center Solstice as I had planned. It came out colorful and happy. Maybe that’s the way it should be…we were all so innocent then, and in a few hours,…

The Meaning of Life is Rain Puddles
Okay, now that I’ve got your attention….. Here’s an update on “Tiger in the Jungle”. It’s coming out lower key than I intended, but I expect when I go over it with the blender, it will pop. Also, I’m at a very tedious point, the background. It would be good to listen to my iPod…

A Healing Peace….
Tiger in the Jungle is coming along nicely, but not enough progress to warrant a pic at this point. As I’m working at it, I already know what my next picture will be. The anniversary of September 11 just passed. I wanted last spring to do something healing for the people affected by it, by…
