Ink a tree

(Lone tree)
(Vines on tree)
    I'm getting more work done in pencil and ink. These may be on my store as prints soon.
There was some old forgotten nibs in a box that I just found. They are extra fine nibs from Hunt/Speedball, #102.
Great dip pen nibs to work with.

It seems this old house in Colorado needs endless work. So I can only draw on certain days when I'm not so tired. It's easier working in the studio now. The clutter is for the most part cleared away, and I can walk thru it. We have been here a year, and it may take about 10 more years to get it together.

Rabbit Card

  4x6" Rabbit card : This is the time of year for rabbits. I lived in Ohio at one time. There is a town called Richfield that I used to visit in the fall. Every year, A friend and I would go to the Turkey-Shoot events held in that general area. No --- ! We did not shoot turkeys off fence posts 😀😀😀 If you are not from a place that has these events then, click here , and ( Richfield Ohio Amvets ) to read up on the fun you can have competing with others to win a Thanksgiving ham or Turkey among other things. It's yet another way to enjoy an activity on the weekend with the family.  This area also grew the best apples I've ever had. We would buy them by the big baskets in the fall. So, what does rabbits have to do with a turkey shoot? Not much. But, this time of year was when we would take our Beagle dog out in the fields and turn it loose. It loved to track rabbits. It never caught one, but that's not the point. These dogs are born to hunt.  Did you know that the femal...

Art posted on ebay

  Now, there is some of my work on ebay. After a year of finding all the reasons not to use ebay, I ended up with a store there anyway. The biggest reason I did not want a relation with them is the fees the site has in place. Yes, they do charge you a lot to sell an item. However, the other storefront venues have so many hidden fees and constant, in your face come-on to buy, upgrade.. more more more, that you are only giving them a bunch of your money, and you still need to do all the work. Turns out that ebay is not so bad after all. So, here is the first batch of artworks to go up over there.  A short on one of these pieces: My wife and I were on a hike high in the  Colorado mountains. I saw this one type of plant and it caught my attention. Without my camera, it became a game of trying to recall how the plant looked later on while sitting at my art table. I had only a blurred impression left in my mind. I drew this piece from that. I am sure the real plant...

  After leaving Twitter some years ago, I have got back in the game by opening a new account on BlueSky . Why create an account there? It seems to have a very receptive group of people without the baggage Twitter/X has. You might say... Much more fun. A cat drawing that was inspired by another piece I saw online at one time.
