Maybe because I just finished marking last semester's portfolios last night, or maybe simply because I like how these two drawings, as rough as they are, turned out, one by chance composition during quick gestures, and the other inspired but he chance pose of the two models, I decided to post them. Haven't thought of [...]

I have a cat named MOUSE who is very elegant with a haughty look of disdain on all that is around him. Sort of regal and aloof. Next door my son has a cat named MEETCH who is the polar opposite. Meetch is twice Mouse's size, soft as a pillow and with the biggest eyes [...]

A piece I had only seen in pictures, I am Beautiful captivated me even more in real life (as of course could be expected but when confronted in real life, the impact seems even greater than I would have thought). Situated in a corner by a busy door, it did not allow for much uninterrupted [...]

couldn't help but play with the sketch...Gee, it doesn't take much to make me happy!

This year I am determined to do at least one study a day of the decorations. It's a beautiful time around here. Work is keeping me from getting lights out but there's a tree in the shed waiting to come in, the Nutcracker is back up in the balcony in his house and hopefully I [...]
