In-Title Mints
Storytelling. I miss that, sometimes. I do a lot of thinking, and often I’ll catch myself in the middle of a story I’m telling, in my mind. Ever since writing a novel, there has been this urge to make my next writing project a series of short stories. One of the most enjoyable aspects of […]

Wanda and Waldo
Recently I spent some quality time with a long distance friend, in a private conversation on Facebook. It was nice. She needed an escape from her current woes, and as she loves my art, I was welcome to do a little show and tell with one of my current projects. She is quite taken with […]

17 on 28 or 9 Feels As Good as 31!
Every so often I’ll post a blog that’s number-related. I suppose this is one of them, though perhaps in a roundabout way? By roundabout I mean stuff like superstition. For example, in my youth I had a favorite number for my hockey jersey. I was a goalie, and back then each of two goalies on […]

A Knock At the Door
Perhaps it is best not to be in a reflective mood when working on this picture, “One More Step To Heaven”? Ah, to be or not to – actually this version of the picture is saved as “3b” – maybe I skipped a step? That elusive stairway, or is it a case? As one immersed in […]

A Sunday Sketch
This past Sunday I did something I haven’t done in a long time; I took out a sketch pad and a gel pen and doodled for a few hours. It was refreshing, especially in the sense that I got to use my left hand for a change. Yes, I’m a southpaw, except for one major […]

The Artist Released
If you’ve seen my last 2 blog posts then you will recognize this picture. It’s in its finished form now . . . I’ve done some fine-tuning of the figurative aspect, changed the dimensions slightly, and added some texture, not to mention the colors and other light concerns . . . so basically a day […]

Artist at Work
I’m quite enjoying keeping my posts short lately. Maybe that’s because this project is turning out to be much bigger than I thought it’d be . . . I’m reviewing pretty much all my art in search of the truly abstract . . . in other words, no figurative elements. In the process I’m stopping […]

I figured, it was ice!
This first image is not what I consider a work of art, though it does seem intriguing. Perhaps that’s because it’s actually a piece of ice that I picked from my front yard? I scanned it immediately, and while this image has been mildly modified, this is essentially that chunk of ice. I often refer […]

New, Untitled Art
As promised, I said I’d post an update on the project I described in my most recent post – When Projects Kaleid. The feature image here is that update. While I do consider this to now be a finished piece, I’m still playing with different renditions. This could be one of those pictures where a […]

When Projects Kaleid!
With the software that I use, there is a way for me to convert an image into a kaleidoscope. It’s something I’ve largely ignored, except for some occasional “playing”. However, I’m using it more now as I create more coloring pages. The feature image at the top of this post is one of my coloring […]
