The days pass. I read a reference to the current mood which stated “the days pass slowly and with great haste at the same time.” All around the faces change. Aged by the slow and steady waiting of the clock. Waiting for the moment to pass. Sitting before me, she only gave me but a […]

As I began the quick little portrait I was asked to “get the background too!” I guess she didn’t like the first few.—Dominick

Five months in the biggest thing missing from my daily life, aside from a good handshake or a nice bear hug of, is the practice of drawing the most crowded spaces in any city or town I may be in at the time. Something to look forward to for sure. Nothing to complain about. Life […]

The noise out the window told a tale of greater chaos than I first expected. Warnings of severe winds and the side effects of Tropical Storm Isaias had been steady all morning. As with all such moments, there is nothing to fear until it happens. The winds blew threw and suddenly the neighborhood was brought […]

I spent the better part of the weekend trying to resolve an old drawing. My patience as the years go by certainly grows. I look back on sketchbooks from one day of my life a decade and a half ago and wonder how I tried to get so much done. Then I start to see […]

Part of staying close to home has been the realization that so much happens when you aren’t really paying attention. The number of bird calls I have discovered echoing through my neighborhood grows by the day. I also have noticed, just like watching a pot boil, that one should NOT watch grass grow.

I don’t typically do resolutions, but there are few things that fell off the board this year that I would like to make sure I stick to. As I look ahead I wish you all a Happy New Year and hope that our paths cross in the best of ways.—Dominick

Can we do that daylights saving thing again. Yes, it is actually saving, savings. I was informed of that this week. Anyway, every time I feel like I am taking a few steps forward I find myself asleep. On Sunday that was great because I woke up early, sort of, but not tonight. All sorts […]

Not really, just taking stock and working on some old projects. Found this from a few years ago. Quick study of an autumnal tree.—Dominick

I lie, it was a big drawing. One that I needed to scan in several parts. Wish I had brought a smaller pad. Who knew that could really be a thing.—Dominick

When I was drawing on Friday at Vassar College I knew that the event was part of something much bigger. As the days have progressed since I have watched a 16 year-old from Sweden give a speech to the United Nations and have had various discussions regarding the state of the earth and what comes […]

Found a stack of sketches from a few years ago that I didn’t remember making. The project has always stayed close to my board, but these were an unexpected memory.—Dominick

Found an older drawing in the flat files and took a liking to it. Trying to remember who, what, where, or when it was done.—Dominick
