Geez, how long has it been since I set my colored pencils and paintbrushes aside to buckle down and truly focus on writing? Sifting back through the old blog post pile, it looks like it was WAY back in August 2017 (you know, ancient times as far as the Interwebs go) when I wrote about … Continue reading One Last Artistic Hurrah
Come See Me On Broadway!
Okay, maybe it's more like "in" Broadway, as in The Broadway Gallery where my latest art show just started a couple days ago. If you've been keeping track (and even I can't keep track on most days), this is my fourth show this year: two showings with the Clackamas County Arts Alliance (one of which … Continue reading Come See Me On Broadway!
Just Like Michelangelo
That's right, just like Michelangelo, my art now decorates the interior of a church. Okay, maybe not just like Michelangelo since I didn't have to build my own scaffolding to install it or risk a major kink in the neck to create it. And I doubt tourists from all over the world are going to … Continue reading Just Like Michelangelo

Take for example, my latest art show that went up in May. You didn't even know about it did you? Luckily, I'm dedicating this … Continue reading Decorating Another Wall with My Art

This post is all … Continue reading The Art Show Begins Amongst Tragedy
Time for My Flying Dragons and Little Buddies
That blog post title almost makes it sound like I'm starting a circus of some sort. While I'd love to have a herd of dancing elephants and a few tigers to add to my cat collection, there's just no room in my garden for a show under the big top. Instead, the only show I have … Continue reading Time for My Flying Dragons and Little Buddies
Red Flowers and Green Eyes
Red and green? Don't worry, the spirit of Christmas hasn't reared it's ugly head again. Instead, it's more of a Dr. Seuss thing. One painting, two painting, red flower, green feline. Hmm...maybe I better stay away from any attempts at Seussian-style poetry and just show you my latest artwork. First Off: A Bunch of Cherries … Continue reading Red Flowers and Green Eyes
Pink Flowers and Exploding Heads
Hello everyone! Let's jump right into the first portion of that intriguing blog post title and take a gander at my latest piece of colored pencil work. Pink Flowers!!! Okay, not the most clever of titles, but if you have a better suggestion I'd love to steal your ideas. Summer Blast? Pink Burst? See, this … Continue reading Pink Flowers and Exploding Heads
Just How Great Is Colored Pencil Paper?
If you're checking your calendars in confusion, don't worry; today is indeed Thursday. Yesterday, I made a journey out to see my summer art venue, which meant no time to visit the Blogosphere. But yesterday was the third Wednesday of the month and, according to my new schedule, it's time for an art supply review! A … Continue reading Just How Great Is Colored Pencil Paper?
