The work is chugging along despite continued (though decreased) technical difficulties. What is not chugging along, sadly, are any of my artistic (not-for-clients) endeavors. The balance is a difficult one to strike. Sometimes I find myself browsing the web sites and blogs of other artists, and despair. At what point will I (a) have enough… Continue reading ::sigh::

sunday’s wander
Angles in Tribeca, from a wander in the city on the glorious Sunday afternoon just past.
Equinox– nearly
Today began with a brutal sore throat and utter congestion, though it's much better now. First Spring head cold– hopefully the only. But then, I think I didn't have one over the winter, so maybe this is how Winter gets the boot, tomorrow being the Spring Equinox! Above: continued progress on the 24"x8" canvas.
Amsterdam IV
Showing progress of underpainting done on Friday and Saturday. On Friday night, Kim and I had our most productive Art Night in about a year. This will be part of a sort of tripdych including the Clinton Buildings with map, plus a third piece to accompany this one– a map of Amsterdam. A continuation of… Continue reading Amsterdam IV

At the moment I'm not sure where it's headed (and if it knows, it hasn't let me in on it yet). The map shows Rome– not part… Continue reading stripes and dresden
Clinton Hill house
Well, I haven't done any drawings since about Wednesday of last week, but I have been working on re-visiting an abandoned canvas, begun last year in the summer. (Here is where it stood prior to this weekend.) It's gone in quite a different direction from the monochromatic Amsterdams of 2007. I've incorporated a cartographic element… Continue reading Clinton Hill house
more maps
These are maps of upper and lower Block Island; drawings I did of our bicycle adventures when we were there for a few lovely days back in September. These were done in a small accordion-fold Moleskine, called also a Japanese album. The accordion-fold sketchbook is pretty brilliant because you can make up your layout and… Continue reading more maps
