Growing up I never thought of myself as a fantasy loving person. My guess is that I really didn’t know what it was exactly. I confused sci-fi and fantasy and didn’t know how to separate them, and to me sci-fi was an alien movie for some reason. Obviously as time went on I learned the […]
View post →In honor of the vast numbers of little Wild Kratt kids absorbing all the animal knowledge they can on this fine Saturday, a few elephants for scientific observation. Just a subtle turn of the head and shift of the leg and the whole dimension of the space they take up changes. Had a blast on […]
View post →Film III Yellow to be exact, but that is not story. I found myself drawing alongside my father the other day, oddly enough 2 years to the day I started documenting him. I pulled up to the shop a “little while” after he did. I couldn’t hear the presses running so I knew I was […]
View post →I found myself sitting around a table, in the aftermath of seven 8-year olds, with palettes full of paint and an empty canvas. In the five minutes before the skies broke and a storm rained down I drew the closest model sitting on the ground unaware of my actions.—Dominick
View post →Until this day I had never had the desire to ride in a basket (bread goes in a basket, not people), but as the mass of balloons floated over my head at the Dutchess County Balloon Festival and the last one appeared above the heads of the crowds as it was inflated, I found myself […]
View post →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 →Ok, so the first day of Spring was yesterday and yes, it did snow in New York and a bit of the Northeast. but it was a warm wet snow. Signs that the thaw is upon us, or rather finishing. In just one short week most of the snow that covered the ground I wasn’t […]
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 […]
