Lake Eden

Friday, February 5, 2010

I’ve been taking it easy for the past week or so because I’ve had a case of TMS crop up. After two years of being mostly pain free, it’s come up again, because I’ve been doing a poor job of handling my stress. This time it’s affecting my right elbow and every time I grip […]

Corsica

Monday, January 18, 2010

I drew this for the January Virtual Paintout. The location this month is Corsica and I had a lot of fun finding the scene I wanted and carrying it out. This drawing is not in my usual style at all. I drew it with pen and then filled it in with colored pencil. I felt […]

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 […]

Sketching Lakeside

Wednesday, July 29, 2009

I like being around bodies of water, and found myself around a very nice one in Vermont this past weekend. It was really the perfect time for me. I was a passenger on a very scenic drive, I did a lot of sketching, and I spent time with my relatives. I took many photos and […]

Independence Day, 2009

Sunday, July 5, 2009

New Englanders are fortunate that we have a lot of lakes, and I am lucky that I got to spend some time at one for the Fourth of July. I think I will be finding excuses to be there often. We built a fire right next to the water and watched people shooting off illegal […]

Pen and Ink Trees WIP

Sunday, May 31, 2009

WIP, dip pen (8 x 10) on 140 lb Arches cold press I fully intended to post this yesterday, but I got a bit behind and ended up working until pretty late last night. I underestimated how much time pen and ink really takes me and I got a late start as well. Rather than […]
