Corum Has Passed

Our oldest cat, Corum passed away tonight. He had been fighting kidney problems for a while and this past week he went down hill fast. He was 17 or 18, a very loving cat and I will miss him terribly!

Inktober 28

Another small white on black picture. Inktober 28, "Magic Circle", 6 x 6, white gel pen on black paper. Original and prints available. Picture 82.

Inktober 27

This was an experiment, I did a half black and half white page then added black and white to it to make this image.  Chiaroscuro in art is the use of strong contrasts between light and dark, usually bold contrasts affecting a whole composition. Inktober 27, "Chiaroscuro", 7 1/2 x 9, Micron pen and white gel pen on black and white paper. Prints available. Picture 81.

Lost A Good Man

I am devistated this morning, one of my oldest and most loved friends has passed. Jon Westcot https://www.facebook.com/jon.westcot He was one of the most gentle, loving and generous people I have ever known. I woudl not be ablive now if not for his love and support at a time in my life when I had nothing. I have never known anyone with a bigger heart.
I can not belive he is gone. Since I do think tthat part of us returns, the reincarnation is real in some form, I hope he comes back, the world needs people like him.
I can not find the words...I love you Jon.

This is a pencil sketch I did from life of him back in the 80's when we spent most of our time together!

Inktober?

Well, I had planed to do Inktober again this year, even though last year was a fail! But I did 2 sketches yesterday and they were horrible so I threw them away! Not sure I will be able to do anything this year. :(
