A pen & ink drawing titled "Things Fall Apart" -- seems sadly appropriate for these times.

This painting I call "A Wild Garden" is meant as a contrast to the grim January 20 "Sees No Evil" piece that evoked the California wildfires and the growing sense of menace afflicting so many of us of late. Gouache on canvas board

Yesterday's painting started out to honor California fires, but morphed into this scary piece when the menace from above and then the upturned face emerged. Now it is titled "Sees No Evil. Gouache on canvas board.

When I was a senior in high school in 1957, we had what they called "Girl's State" where selected students spent a week at a college campus setting up a model government, electing officers and passing bills. This was after 4 years of social studies that included studying civics. Too bad it ended.

For all you east coast and midwestern Americans snow bound today, here's my portrait of Chione, the Greek goddess of snow. Stay warm and safe, folks!

Not only did I, at the advanced age of almost 86, manage to set up and get working a new printer (Xmas gift for the house) but today, I also managed to figure out to get the scanner working too. I think that the trick is not to let the technology scare you.

Goddesses of the winter solstice, Persephone and Demeter, from my series of Greek goddesses in pen and ink.

"You were pretty Queen of New York City" When the band finished playing They howled out for more Sinatra was swinging All the drunks, they were singing We kissed on a corner Then danced through the night The boys of the NYPD choir Were singing 'Galway Bay' And the bells were ringing out For Christmas day "You're a bum, you're a punk" "You're an old slut on junk Lying there almost dead On a drip in that bed" "You scumbag, you maggot You cheap lousy faggot Happy Christmas, your arse I pray God it's our last" The boys of the NYPD choir Still singing "Galway Bay" And the bells are ringing out For Christmas day "I could have been someone" "Well, so could anyone You took my dreams from me When I first found you" "I kept them with me, babe I put them with my own Can't make it all alone I've built my dreams around you" The boys of the NYPD choir Still singing "Galway Bay" And the bells are ringing out For Christmas day #ThePogues #FairytaleOfNewYork

Art vs Artist 2024. A mix of some of my pen and ink drawings and gouache paintings - -a small sample of what I created during the year. I hope ore artists can share their own work -- we need it to counteract the negativity that wants to surround us!
