Something about this time of year. Maybe it's that the fall leaves have just about done their leaving, leaving the world etched in line. Maybe it's the extra time with family and seeing their faces. Maybe it's just winter's spartan season that makes me reach for Bic pen, black and white, and a desire to … Continue reading My Love

Dropping Down
This moment, right here, is where i need to be. Drinking in the lines & curves of the NOW life which is SO unassuming, SO simple, perhaps not even note-worthy. And yet...in drawing, i find worth and value in just BEING. BEING still, being focused on here and not on there. This dropping-down of … Continue reading Dropping Down
When Light Invades the Dark
Straggling storm clouds, leftover from Sandy, lingered in the sky as I walked one morning this week. They were enshrouded by night's darkness with only the barest hint that morning was here. I rounded a corner and WHAM! Two piercing spots of light invaded the gray surroundings as if spotlights were being turned on in … Continue reading When Light Invades the Dark
A Knitting Ditty
For all who are seized with thoughts of yarn and needles clicking together and wools to wear and gifts to give and designs to try and stitches to learn. You are not alone. 🙂 Do you knit? (To the tune of “Do your ears hang low?”) Do you knit and purl? Do you give it … Continue reading A Knitting Ditty
So Many Ways
From years past:
Blankets & A Process
Forgive the dreadful photos (especially this one)...I was drawing/painting in the wee hours of the morning (have no idea why I'm up so early these days:( ) and taking photos at that time is near impossible, but there it is. The blankets are out in full force around our house and in use! Perhaps for … Continue reading Blankets & A Process
October means The JDRF Walk!
It's been TWO YEARS since Maddie and I participated in the JDRF Walk for the Cure. Last fall was just too crazy and it pained me to have to bow out of it. I vowed not to let busyness push it out of our calendar this year!! So we are signed up to walk, and … Continue reading October means The JDRF Walk!
A Walk to the Park
Sunday afternoons are great for slow walks. Maddie and I went out and about in our neighborhood this past Sunday. The weather was gorgeous! A light breeze kept us cool. We gathered "treasures" along the way: a colorful leaf, and some long-stemmed fuzzy weeds that work great as things to shoot (did you do this … Continue reading A Walk to the Park
Multi-Colored Pens!
I recently went through a phase. Ha! One of many I tend to move in and out of. It keeps things fresh. It keeps me on my toes. Different ways to view and then capture a place or a person. All of my Flexi-Sketch drawings are done with multi-colored pens and Neocolor II crayons added … Continue reading Multi-Colored Pens!
