    The ABC’s and Holiday Book Flood month

    December 4, 2023

    I’ve been working towards “holidays” since about July, making my ABC’s: Artwork Books and Cards for holiday exhibits at the galleries. Such is the life of an artist. And it’s not just me it’s many artists who do this work-in-summer-for-the-holiday-season type of schedule. Creativity is very like running a marathon. So come December sometimes I…

    Hope, human spirits, booties and books

    November 20, 2023

    This week I primarily worked on fine art commissions that are holiday gifts so no talking about that. Now about booties and books: My wife and I had been discussing our need for new house slippers … but what kind? Where to get them? So with our questions in the air it so happened that…

    Verbal questions answered with visual art: a new interview style

    November 13, 2023

    This week I primarily worked on fine art commissions that are holiday gifts so nothing here about that. Here’s a new interview style thought up by Kathryn Vercillo and I was her test-subject! Kathryn Vercillo amazed and impressed me again by creating a “visual interview” whereby she asked me questions using words and I answered…

    Books for the trees and such

    November 6, 2023

    The trees are so beautiful in the Fall. It’s like they’re dressed for a ball. In leaves of oranges and yellows, all of the fellows stand so gloriously so proud and so tall. I wrote the above in my poetry notebook while working on another of my tree portraits… In addition to finishing up my…

    The holiday times, trees and tomes

    October 30, 2023

    The time of year has begun that my studio resembles Santa’s workshop. So there will be times when I write more cryptically here than I normally write. I’ll be leaving out whole swaths of what I’m very busily working on because … gifts. Imagine one of Santa’s elves on a business trip, South of the…

    My art exhibit continues at Caplan Art Designs, it’s going well and is in capable hands.
