I went on a nature walk today. Everything slowed down for just a little while. We put too much stress on big accomplishments—whatever that means anymore—and not enough on smaller moments. How would we get through our day without them. Without someone by our side to share them with. A neighbor, a friend, a pet, […]

The years pass fast. Faster than I realize most days. Another has come and gone and come again the one that follows. I no longer look down but my gaze is met right before me. I catch what I can and plant what little seeds I can for the future.—Dominick

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 […]

For various reasons I have had the premise of heroes on my mind lately. How the past informs the future. How the present is a test for those who want better for all, not just a few. I did not grow up with the idea of hero worshipping. There were very few, if any, put […]

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

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 […]

It was either that or “I Wear My Sunglasses at Night” which I figured was too long of a post title. The day rolled by rather quickly, as the past few weeks have. I’ve been looking through some recent drawings, trying to figure out where they fit in the arsenal. Not quite sure just yet […]

The anticipation is strong for peony blossoms. We almost need Post-its to remind us not to blink, lest we miss it. And then, they don’t stick around for too long. If you slow time a bit and pay close attention, you’ll see a spectacular show. Pen on post-its ~Despina

Back in 2012 I was called for jury duty for the first and only time. Of course looking back on rooms full of people waiting to be called on to fulfill their civic obligation, it makes you wonder how this process will change post COVID-19. Anyway…I sat there for 3 days, watching TV and making […]

Having a bit of tea lately. Morning, afternoon, evening. A spot of tea served from the local tea trolly with a bit of conversation.—Dominick

Tuesday’s have always been an off day for me. Even in quarantine I find I am just not myself on Tuesday’s. Hence why so many posts are late in the day—or sometimes never arrive. There is a never ending list of reasons why the day takes a turn. Maybe it’s because I never had […]

Here is a drawing I made from a live model a few years ago, with brush marker and pencil. ~Despina ©2020

Slowly making my way through he week. Slowly. Got lost in the woods along the way. I didn’t find a groundhog but a few odd creatures that kept me entertained. Ignoring the whole shadow dilemma.—Dominick

As I club-hopped down Frenchman Street in New Orleans I stopped in a half empty club called the Blue Nile, which quickly filled up once this brass/percussion band hit the stage. I believe there were 7 musicians up there at once. Lots of energy. I was interested in the blue and yellow lights for some reason, […]

Hello Mountain and Pacific time zones. Spent the entire day looking through archives and never looked up to check out what time it was. Marg has already posted but I am going to slip this in and see if anyone noticed. —Dominick

Not sure if she saw me drawing her or not but it certainly feels that way looking at the image.—Dominick
