I made this portrait of my son as he was reading. When I finished I looked at it and I didn’t see the six year old James, I saw what I believe he will look like in 10 years. Now I have to try not to blink or else the years will go by just […]
View post →Yes, I am totally cheating. No, time travel does not yet exist, so I am told. Einstein. What did he know? As I ended one of the longest years I can ever remember, I took stock of all that I had done and all that had been bestowed upon me. It was not a year […]

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

View post →Winter is just days away now, much to the dismay of many here in the North East. I however revel in it. I always have. The first snow, the bitter cold winds. Yes, I may very well be insane, but there is something just invigorating to me about a cold winter day. Still autumn, but […]
View post →As I was drawing the black sheep (from my last post) I heard James getting really excited about something at the other end of the barn of the zoo. “Mom, mom, you gotta come see this!!” I completely understood what all the fuss was about when I finally got over there and saw this enormous […]
