Ending the year...

No one has to tell anybody that these are weird times. 2020 might have been the worst, when the world shut down and came to know the meaning of 'global pandemic', but 2021 was no picnic, and no one can be sure what 2022 will look like. For a year-end post, in an effort to emphasize the positive, I thought to share some of what I worked on this year. Being an artist can certainly be frustrating at times, but it sticks with one through the tough times as well as the good.
INK BIRDS: my series of small original drawingpaintings, inspired by the birds in my new park-like neighborhood. The birds, and this series, were and are a great source of joy. (available as note card sets)

Travel Sketches - Incredible luck that we managed to squeeze in 3 months in France, between the summer opening of Europe and the slam of Omicron in late 2021. I did plenty of sketching, in the Loire Valley with all its beauty and history, and some in Paris, where I celebrated a birthday and got an idea for a book... Some of the sketches will be finished into colorful scenes (the Hotel de Ville of Saumur in progress at upper left).

FLEURS - additions to my ongoing series of fresh colorful florals, always so much fun to dream up and draw. Available as prints and note card sets

ORIGINAL WORK drawing and painting
Mad Cats - a new series, rich in color and whimsy, of cats with attitude. DrawingPaintings, like the Ink Birds, created on paper with pencil, charcoal, watercolor pencils. Better scans coming soon. I miss having a cat - these guys remind me why. More to come.

Commissions - As the year ends, I'm working on a couple of commissions. Too early to show those, but here are two recent results - a home in France (2021) and a birthday love letter to a favorite Philly place (The Italian Market - 2020) I know my loose, irreverent style is not for everybody but I love it when people appreciate what I do so much that they want a bit of it for their very own.  If you have an idea, email me!
Stay tuned for more in 2021. Sign up for my newsletter on the Home page if you'd like to get the latest news straight from me!

Ending with a heartfelt wish for a healthier, happier, kinder, more humane world in 2022. With particular wishes for you and your loved ones. My drawing here is an old one, but a reminder that home can be a comfort no matter the raging battles outside.
