Another drawing from last weeks Drawing Social. —Dominick
View post →Had a great time last night at the Dalvero Drawing Social. Thank you to Ronnie and Margaret for bringing everyone together.—Dominick
View post →A quick drawing from a few months back.—Dominick
View post →I have had little visitors to the studio lately, who have been painting and working as if they owned the place. Sun, seahorses, and “your paints” is all the younger one ask.—Dominick
View post →Even as the warmer Spring air hid behind giant white clouds, the colors seemed to dance as I wondered out the window, jealous of the wind that wandered through the trees, drawing out what is only right and proper this time of year. Color everywhere.—Dominick
View post →In the midst of the sun drenched background, as the proper season was finally taking over, the setting was highlighted with the most welcome sign of new life, buds on every tree short or tall. A short lived sweet spot between the silhouette of the forgotten winter and the coming lush green shade.—Dominick
View post →It’s not quite lazy afternoon temperatures around me just yet, but I have been dreaming of sitting under a tree and drawing. I hear the weather takes a turn tomorrow. I’ll hopefully find a tree to lounge beneath.—Dominick
View post →You would think a new schedule would keep me on my toes. While it is still Saturday, this is far from a Saturday post. Intentions, intentions, intentions…always good intentions. Saint Bernard, Virgil, and Milton would have something to say about it right now. Either way, spring was certainly on my mind today and though still cold […]
View post →When one door closes another opens. I value nothing greater than my time, it is the only thing that I really own. I can do what I choose and everything should be by some choice. I waited too long to start one project that I missed the opportunity. Happens all the time but this one […]
View post →Not sure what this has to do with the Ides of March, most likely nothing. My six years of Latin has been poking it’s head into many aspects of my life lately. Don’t ask me more then ten words, but the literature, the myths, the poetry; I could recite Latin verse for days. OK, maybe […]
View post →Seems like forever ago that this drawing was done. In dog years I guess it was. At the conclusion of the Tour de France in Paris, many moons ago. For some reason it felt appropriate to post something so warm and outdoors like, with next weeks forecast calling for a day in the low 50s. […]
View post →I do not shy away from my love of winter. And snow. And the cold. I should. I get dirty looks most of the time. And while I don’t long for Spring just yet, I do have to say, holy crap even I am cold. I worried when I left for California that I would […]
View post →Oddly enough, the one thing I dreaded about making the cross country trip in January was the possibility of missing a snow storm. I am one of the vocal few who love winter, love the snow, love the cold. Yes, I said love. Don’t curse me out. I don’t do the Calvin snow dance—at least […]
View post →As we found ourselves nearing rush hour traffic at the end of our 3,000 mile journey (added mileage in New Jersey thanks to my reliance on Google Maps) the sun was setting and the light was disappearing on the hills that I am always in awe of. Being from the East coast, I have noticed […]
View post →Every time I visit LA I realize how much the West Coast lifestyle permeated the culture in TV in and movies during my youth. Seems like an obvious conclusion to come to, but the things that jump out when you spend even a little bit of time there are those things that set California apart […]
View post →I have anticipated for weeks what I would post today. Thursday is my day and Christmas has fallen on Thursday. I had planned on doing a little series of Nativity scenes spread around the house and town, but as we were preparing for Santa time ran short. OK, maybe just one scene, I only need […]
View post →I have these moments every fall—when the sky turns a certain shade of grey as the inherent nature of the book ended seasons mix and daylight recedes in expectation of the coming months—where I find myself looking at the remnants of a great autumnal landscape, thinking the best has passed and the graphic beauty of […]
View post →Last week I posted a watercolor from a year or so ago and it got me started on the series again. Laid up in bed (or rather in a chair) for a few days I gathered my brushes and spent a few hours out of doors. I am not a green person but I kind […]
View post →I don’t think I have posted this one yet. I was never really happy with the scale and design. A little harbor on the Hudson I pass often. Yet it always seems to turn up when I am looking through watercolors. Each time it grows on me a little more. For some reason I remember […]
View post →I have been digging through some old work, hoping to find new work misplaced, and found this “thumbnail” I made a while back. With all the crowds in NYC this week for President Obama’s visit I figured a mass of people made sense. Hoping I missed all the fun on my trip in today.—Dominick
