The trees and shrubs appeared to have sprouted from a vast eiderdown quilt that settled over the viewable acreage overnight. Happy Winter Holidays and snow days for all who enjoy that sort of thing!
It snowed just enough to blanket the farm

The subtle mental nausea of homesick
Here's a scrap from one of my journals of youth. A page written when I was twenty-one, and newly out of college— my first summer spent in Brooklyn, as I'd always gone back to the farm in between the school years. Few of my schoolmates were in town that summer. I was broke, looking for… Continue reading The subtle mental nausea of homesick
The waning light turned gold and reflected in the windows
Here is a painting from a small series I did back in 2007. (It's hard to believe that was a decade ago!) This is Amsterdam II, and it has been sold! Its new home will be in California, and I'm very excited for its new adventure. Though I love having my art in my own… Continue reading The waning light turned gold and reflected in the windows
The proof arrived in the mail just as the mercury dropped
Good news and glad tidings! The printed proof of my little book of Inktober drawings arrived, and I'm releasing it to the world, so have at. Order away! Today, too, I went to press to see my first few printed items since working at NYC & Co; a very satisfying and exciting mission for a… Continue reading The proof arrived in the mail just as the mercury dropped
A pile of airy bones in an attic room beneath the pitched roof
I want so much to write. I’d like to be still for a day or two; to draw. To draw at a rate more like I was in October— daily. Or nearly so. To have space for things to percolate and bubble to the surface from below. Instead, I’ve been kept moving, pulled in multiple… Continue reading A pile of airy bones in an attic room beneath the pitched roof
Looking upon rooftops from a bird’s eye view
It's almost impossible to fathom the number of people— of individuals, families— that fill the buildings of New York City. Five boroughs filled with I don't know how many buildings; and many if not most of those buildings contain anywhere from six to twenty-six apartments or more. Every window may represent a person. It boggles… Continue reading Looking upon rooftops from a bird’s eye view
A cozy brownstone at the end of the block
Once again I missed my Thursday post. I was at work late. We were shooting a little set up of cut paper buildings for a campaign, and they reminded me of this illustration I did for a holiday card a few years ago, which has sort of the look of cut paper. Below is a… Continue reading A cozy brownstone at the end of the block
A little book of black and white drawings
I have at last finished work on a small book of my Inktober drawings, as seen here during the month of October. I will be publishing it via Lulu.com, and it will contain all 31 drawings. I'm awaiting a printed proof to make certain that all looks well. I realize it's cutting things rather fine… Continue reading A little book of black and white drawings
The car broke down on a lonely stretch of road
Sorry I missed yesterday's post deadline. Here is one from the archives for December first. Car in Snow.
The day following the feast was sunny and mild
The day following the feast was sunny and mild, inviting of a long wander. Following lunch in a sunny local, we embarked on a meandering walk that included many stops along the way in a handful of neighborhoods. Eventually we found ourselves again at the harbor, staring out at moon-glittered water in the early dark.… Continue reading The day following the feast was sunny and mild
