Waterfront buildings at dusk

Here is a sneak peek at a work in progress. It probably won't have a photographic sky in the final; we'll see. I was just playing with that. Anyway I like the kaleidoscopic colors in the window panes. That was my initial idea or point of departure: the way window panes facing or nearby the harbor catch light at different… Continue reading Waterfront buildings at dusk

A few selects from the camera— Paris

Here are some more images from the trip; most of these are from the Saturday afternoon we were in Paris— my twelve miles of walking day. The sun came out in the afternoon and it felt like Spring. More color photos after the jump.

The Weather in New Orleans

That great mechanical pencil got lost last Thursday, when I'd got about halfway through this drawing– lost it on the walk home I guess. So I had to go buy a new one. A changing of the guard; turning point, perhaps.

not necessarily a day of rest.

Today is the 5th Avenue Festival, strains of music and voices drifting from a few blocks away where it begins. Also the Sonya Studio walk over in Fort Greene, to which I'd planned to go and see some friends and meet a friend of Beth's. But still at home. Had some work that I had… Continue reading not necessarily a day of rest.

remiss at updates

It's just because I've been so busy with work, and nothing else much to write about. I realize I have also been remiss about Emily's Flat Stanley. Again, haven't had a chance ot take him out in Brooklyn! (Although I did bring him to DC...) Another map from a dream: Excerpt: There was a wedding… Continue reading remiss at updates
