Leo

Not sure if this guy’s name is Leo, but I’ll just assume.  I’m a leo and have always had a fondness for lions. I did this piece at the  Bronx Zoo in NY.

Art in the tree of life

The Metropolitan Museum of Art … is a tree of life to the worlds greatest art. It’s my church, my schoolyard, my home away from home. Just 20 minutes from the house there’s no better place to be – Michele

For those of us who welcome old man winter, a little snow and a whole lot of solace.

Time Alone

I came across an article that spoke about something that we don’t get to do often, especially those of us that live in cities – “Time Alone”.

Here is an excerpt, “When we don’t get enough solitude, she says, “we get very out of touch with ourselves; we get forgetful; we get sloppy.” Depending on our personalities, we can get angry, anxious and depressed as well. Modern life, filled with cell phones and pagers, with e-mail and express mail, with televisions that offer 300 channels, is far more tumultuous than in the past.”

Winter wonderland

In honor of the snowstorm that buried New York City under over a foot of snow this weekend (and gave me a gorgeous view of a surreal white forest outside my window) i thought i’d share a sketch of a wintery scene with you…
