Road to the Sea

Saturday, June 26, 2010

Road to the Sea, colored pencil, 10″ x 8″ This month I’m posting my Virtual Paintout submission a bit later than I normally do. In fact, I almost skipped participating altogether because of a lot of other things I had going on this particular month with various classes and commitments. I’m glad I did it though, and I had fun making this […]

Recent Workshops, Part One

Sunday, June 20, 2010

I have a lot going on in my life right now, but I am pleased that I had a chance to take some art classes this year. I’ve already told you about the acrylic painting class that I’m taking, but I also signed up for a couple of Saturday workshops. Last week I took a […]

Various Thoughts and Impressions

Saturday, June 5, 2010

This is one of the windows in my house, with floor length sheers that blow in the breeze when the window is open. I just got back last night from spending some time visiting with my family. It was a nice time, although I didn’t spend any time drawing. I did however, get out onto […]

Deerfield River

Sunday, May 30, 2010

I hope everyone is having a nice long weekend. I am having having a very relaxing couple of days myself, by taking a little bit of a break from drawing actually. I have been taking some scenic drives in the country and watching lots of movies. Also, my laptop is having a bit of an […]

Egg Bowl

Tuesday, May 4, 2010

I have this little bowl, a cheap Christmas Tree Shops special, gifted to me by one of my sisters. It’s has a misshapen appearance with the oddest curves and bumps and uneven glazing. I have had numerous opportunities to get rid of this bowl (and I almost did a few months ago when cleaning out my […]

Being in Nature

Friday, March 5, 2010

It makes me a little sad that most of my glimpses of nature are marred by things like bridges. I haven’t gotten out(side) much for the past couple of months and I’m really craving it. This winter actually wasn’t that bad for New England compared to the snow that the Mid Atlantic states got, but […]

Small Updates

Friday, January 15, 2010

I’ve been making New Year’s resolutions for a long time now and never really lived up to them. This year I feel that for the first time I might actually be able to accomplish some of my goals. I’ve arranged to be home on Fridays now, so that I can spend more time on art. […]

The Year End and Beginning

Wednesday, December 30, 2009

This is the Connecticut River as seen from the French King Bridge, in Franklin County Massachusetts. Of all the goals I set for myself in 2009, I can honestly say that I only met one of them, which was to work in a series. For me, 2009 was all about getting back on my feet […]

Day of Rest

Sunday, December 27, 2009

I hope everybody had a happy Christmas. Even though I was incredibly stressed out before Christmas, I ended up having a great time with everyone. I spent the past three days with family just talking, eating and not doing anything in my regular routine. Now that I think about it, I’m not sure why I […]

The Mind-Body

Sunday, October 25, 2009

I’ve spent the past two months agonizing over a perceived health problem. Now that my doctor could not find anything wrong with me, I’m almost completely convinced that it is mind-body in nature, and not a real illness after all. Unlike my previous hand issue, it was really starting to affect my art productivity not […]
