View post →If I told you my absence from posting on ODAD was meant for just a few weeks you’d think I was nuts. I know, I know it’s been 40+ and I’ve missed everyday of it. For so many reasons; from the birth of a new baby to moving into a new home (and everything that […]
View post →Obviously my past few posts have been leading up to a month of watercolors. For the fun of it I am going to try and do one watercolor a day and post them on my personal blog. I’ll post them before next Thursday when I am up again. And after a little hiatus we have […]
View post →Another point of view from another viewer of Perseus at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Â It really was funny to me how some people, like this guy, would hang out looking at Perseus very attentively. I always wondered what it was exactly that they were drawn to about the sculpture. who knows? Sword, anatomy, sculpture? […]

View post →I never really got the whole idea of leaf peepers, but then again I have always lived in a pretty magical spot. The Hudson Valley is beautiful this time of year and continues into early December with some random vibrant spots. Maybe not worthy of a weekend trip, but certainly worth watching for as you […]
View post →I took advantage of the mild day in New York last Saturday to go up to the Bethesda Fountain in Central Park and play with drawing. Did this, just messing around, plus a few more thumbnails, and playing with drawing in the i-pad too. It was just relaxed fun, and I’ve been so busy this […]
View post →A hand of Rodin, at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. I would give anything to have watched Rodin draw and sculpt. Every drawing, every sculpture feels alive and ready to walk away, or sit, or make love, or roll up into a ball, or crawl. It doesn’t matter. It’s alive, and I feel the energy. […]

View post →I was at the Met a few days ago and so I thought I would draw a hand and foot from Rodin’s statues. I love his drawing and his sculpture. They feel real to me. Margaret Hurst
