wow .... I just found out that my painting ' American Pie '
is on THE Greenwich Workshop Gallery's BLOG
Oh .... wow ..... I can't get over this !
please go take a look !!!!!!!!
I woke up today feeling 'invisable ' . I wonder if you feel that way sometimes too? I think being an artist .... I'm always alone , working, painting ...
wondering who is looking at my work .
This was quite a thrill
please take a look

Doily Ladies...... sold

![](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gDa7qm4zbO0/SQlKxRYBQwI/AAAAAAAAAoE/uA7JoctBQdQ/s400/a+doily+ladies.jpg)
bought a little doily
I tried INKTENSE pencils
on fabric !!!!!
I drew these ladies with pen .
and then used inktense
It worked .
I didn't need to add much water , so it didn't bleed out of the lines .
Yes .... it was fun .
It is also a reminder to me to lay off the pierogies ....
I wonder if you know what pierogies are .
Buddy says ...
PLEASE
GO to BED
It's 2 a.m.
He is sitting here
waiting .
I'd better go now
Good night
Good morning !

I just finished packing a HUGE box to send to Cavalier Gallery so he can send it to Florida . It is so much work to pack up paintings and all the odds and ends . But it's done . It's a relief but at the same time I get sad .
anyway .... now I sit and wait
The show is the first week of December , that seems far away .
My friend Tom stopped by last night and he gave me this great old photo from the forties of all these ladies sitting in front of the factory they worked in . Such a great photograph . So after I packed up my stuff .... I took out " Willow " and drew a lady . Yes this is with inktense pencil . Willow willow willow

Girl / tree in mat

I'm so happy with this .
remember this ?
I had drawn her on a thin [expensive ] paper so I knew she would have to be under glass , but I was stuck on how to present her .
PRAYER works ! God helps . God listens . I believe God inspires and guides us and then we can rejoice with him . I know .... it's only a drawing but these are my moments with the Lord and I then hope it will bring some happiness to the viewer
ANYWAY ..... the inspiration was to put her in a large mat and then CONTINUE the drawing on the mat.
so I am feeling pretty happy right now
What do you think ???? The Lord and I would like to know !
also .... I don't have a title . any ideas ????

sometimes it's a struggle ,
sometimes it's so magical .
just pick up a pencil and see what comes out
When it ' just happens '...
you wonder where your head was at so you can do that again ! This is why I'm so addicted .
It's such a joy when I relax and just draw !
These are going to Miami too .

Mr. NonDescript
![](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gDa7qm4zbO0/SP5t9DWfrQI/AAAAAAAAAlk/CQCDUNGHsQQ/s400/a+Mr.+nondescript+with+name.jpg)
Someone told me that I don't draw enough
men .
so today I drew.....
Mr. NonDescript
and Inktense does not work very well on smooth paper .
Much better on watercolor
or illustration board .
I'm working too hard .
trying too hard .
stressing over this Miami show .
so little time
I am weak
food .... I need food .... water
I'm fading
I'm melting
Derwent Inktense Pencils

I don't want to take a shower
I don't want to fry the baloney
for dinner
I don't want to vacuum the house
I don't want to
answer the phone
I don't want to
do the laundry
I go to sleep
dreaming of
INKTENSE
and wake up
to
my lovely
'Willow'
colored pencil
waiting for me on my drawing table
can you tell I'm obsessed with Inktense ?
I'm still just experimenting
You have to try these pencils . It's like magic !!
nuts ..... I have to go get dressed and do real life stuff before I can draw again
nuts nuts nuts !!!!and as my mother used to say 'oh ..... sh..........sugar '
P>S> I don't really fry baloney for dinner [ that just popped into my head ]

Pillow art by Cathie Jo and Sandy
![](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gDa7qm4zbO0/SPpdn9YCqjI/AAAAAAAAAlE/9Uk8GjV0sYQ/s400/pillow.jpg)
click on the pillow so you can see it large !
I have a new friend that I met through Etsy . Her name is Cathie Jo .
She is a really sweet and funny lady.
She makes beautiful embroidered items . Her work is excellent !
We have worked out an agreement
and now she is licensed to embroider some of my images . This is a pillow she embroidered for her Etsy shop . Isn't it pretty ????
Embroidering takes a long time .... one stitch at a time . I think she does wonderful embroidery .
I'm really excited about this .
Please take a look at her shop .
http://bobetsy.etsy.com//
She has also taken a few of my other drawings and framed them and there is a ballerina on a tea towel too .. They are in her Etsy shop now .
AND she will be adding MORE ... so please go back to her shop often .
Maybe you remember this drawing from my earlier post .
[ August 18 , 2008 post ]
so .... please go visit Cathie Jo's shop
and tell us if you like this new stuff we are doing !!!!!!!
We would both LOVE to hear from you >>>>>>
Thank you
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
If you have a few moments .... please read the comments . I love them all . and there is a truly wonderful one from Cathie's husband . [ what a husband !!!!]
don't hold your breath for MY husband to write ! Oh ... today is our anniversary
34 years . I love you Michael
