from the Books of Bob
“Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly at first” – Dr. Bob Hoke When I’m beginning a new piece of artwork I make thumbnail sketches, I write notes and doodles in my sketchbook, I make small studies, I make to-scale drawings, I draw, draw and re-draw before arriving at something that “works”.

wine and other wonders
Once upon a time I got some how-to-be-a-successful-artist advice that said “follow your personal interests and use those for both your art-creation inspirations as well as where you look for art exhibit opportunities” As a reader of this blog you’re aware that I’m interested in (to name a few things) books, food and drink –…

coffee, table, book
I’ve been working on an ebook titled “Coffee, Table, Book”.

Pup Fiction (fine art about writing)
Pup Fiction By Sue Clancy When I was a kid I knew a beloved Basset Hound named Lucy. Fiction writers are some of my favorite beings on this planet. Therefore all fiction writers must be Basset Hounds – correct? Kidding aside, the Basset Hound is a slow-paced hunting dog. Writers (and readers) are slow-paced hunters…
