View post →Happy EARTH DAY everyone. I was doing a bit of reading on the subject and I came across the EPA’s “It’s My Environment” promotion. And while I didn’t make a sign and a video, the promotion did get me thinking about my environment and what I can do to care for it. Recently I’ve been […]

View post →I started working on my vegetable garden. This year, it’s much bigger at a whopping 12’x12′! I really hope it works out. Cross your fingers with me!! I bought an owl decoy to keep watch over the garden at night and named him Marty. I think he’s really cute, but hopefully, the skunk and the […]

View post →“Pick up something else” was simple yet great advice offered to me a few years ago by Veronica Lawlor before I made this drawing of Rockefeller Center. Instead of the same tools I was comfortable with, I tried using pastels and pastels only. It helped me think differently about my work and it also helped […]
View post →Ahhh ….. spring in Central Park, what could be better? …(even when it is a bit chilly in the air.) I made this drawing sitting on the edge of the spectacular Bethesda fountain inspired by the breathtaking view of the Bethesda Terrace, (the lower level to be exact).

View post →The Dragonfly You are made of almost nothing But of enough To be great eyes And diaphanous double vans; To be ceaseless movement, Unending hunger Grappling love.
