Two weeks can seem like an eternity and sometimes it can happen overnight. Sometimes both occur to prove science still has not fully grasped the time space continuum. Had I written down my resolutions maybe they would have meant a little more. So I start today. I vow to keep up with this blog, fill […]
View post →I don’t know why I should be surprised when I see a burst of color along the horizon, I keep waking to sunny days left over from September. These temperatures are not right, but the colors are nice. Funny how a few days of rain will make the next few days that much brighter. Enjoy […]
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 →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 →Ok, so we have a few weeks left. And this week hasn’t been so bad. I was told this morning that the already cold (and snowy) New York landscape that we are in for this year is to be followed by the most brutal heat wave of a summer. Just when I let my eco-conscious […]
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 →Another drawing from the recital last week. The costumes were quite fun.—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 →One last tree still pretending that autumn is not coming to a close. In all fairness it has been mild compared to last week and the fog did obscure the other trees. Maybe someone should tell the leaves to go.—Dominick FREE BOOK GIVEAWAY! In our new Facebook group, One Watercolor A Day, (view it HERE) […]
View post →Obviously my past few posts have been leading up to a month of watercolors. For the fun of it I am going to try and do one watercolor a day and post them on my personal blog. I’ll post them before next Thursday when I am up again. And after a little hiatus we have […]
View post →Another quick watercolor of the autumn landscape. Every year brings a different burst of color. Usually with it being so dry as it was in the North East the colors are so vibrant. Not sure what caused such color this year.—Dominick
View post →I never really got the whole idea of leaf peepers, but then again I have always lived in a pretty magical spot. The Hudson Valley is beautiful this time of year and continues into early December with some random vibrant spots. Maybe not worthy of a weekend trip, but certainly worth watching for as you […]
View post →Something about the dark brown trunks against the palettes of yellows and oranges makes me always stop.—Dominick
