DD36 – The Menagerie

DD43 – Baby Steps – Windy City

MME8 – The Brew House

DD15 – In The Dark
This is one of the times that my artsy creations are a merger between Doodles and Outsider Art. Figuratively speaking, I am often in the dark when it comes to things social. All those rules for when it is my … Continue reading DD15 – In The Dark

MME3 – Odd One Out Reflections
I don’t know why I haven’t included this photo in my CLA portfolio. But then again, I don’t know why I put anything in my CLA portfolio. It was taken in Louisville, KY in2010. That’s me and my wife trapped … Continue reading MME3 – Odd One Out Reflections
MME43 – Innocent Little Ducklings…

MME45 – The Switchboard
In the early 1960s I lived in a small rural town that actually had one of these switchboards. I remember sitting in the operator’s office to eat during a high school lunch break. For the most part, she just sat … Continue reading MME45 – The Switchboard
DDA32 – Ft. Wayne Skyline
My art comes in many shapes. This one started out from a photo I took from our hotel room in Peoria, IL, twelve years ago. Of course, I took my share of artistic license when I made it, but it … Continue reading DDA32 – Ft. Wayne Skyline

MME37 – Iowa State House…
I have a portfolio of 35 State House complexes across the U.S. This one is from Des Moines, Iowa. I must admit that for the most part, one state house looks mostly like the next. Most are lavish buildings prompted … Continue reading MME37 – Iowa State House…

Mosaic of Life #145 – Canadian Countryside…
I have seen a lot of these yellow fields in my travels across America, but this is probably the biggest one I have come across. I can only imagine that it is a mustard seed field. I really wanted to … Continue reading Mosaic of Life #145 – Canadian Countryside…

One thing that is very mandatory at all reenactments is campfires with the always present big pot of coffee. Continue reading Mosaic of Life #154 — Always Camp Fires.
DD11 – The Regatta
It seems to be getting a little better at artsy as each day passes. I am using three different digital tools (not all at the same time). No brushes to clean, and that is a good thing. 🖌️ Continue reading DD11 – The Regatta
DD35 – Peace
I could subtitle this abstract doodle “My Mind At Rest.” It’s a state of mind I experience when I am working on my 1,000-piece picture puzzles. My mind is never blank, but this is about as close as it gets.😆 Continue reading DD35 – Peace
MME10 – Bird(s) Aflight

MME36 – Artsified Reeds
The source photo for this image was taken during our month long trip to Canada in 2011. We in the U.S. call them cattails. To Canadians they are just reeds. But either way, I think the artsification turned out beautiful. … Continue reading MME36 – Artsified Reeds
MME19 – Pacific Panoramic
I had seen the Pacific Ocean several times before our 2008 Western vacation, but it was just a glimpse here and there during business trips. This was the first time I really saw the ocean. We spent about a week … Continue reading MME19 – Pacific Panoramic

Mosaic of Life #139 – Beulah and A Friend
Now that I have decided to continue my “Mosaic of Life” posts, I need to fill in some blanks. The Basset Hound on the leach is Beulah. She had a fenced in yard that she roamed unleashed, but she did also love to explore other territories. She was my last pet, and my second favorite. (Sam, who was a dachound was my first personal pet was my first.) Continue reading Mosaic of Life #139 – Beulah and A Friend

Another quick view of the most peaceful place to visit. That is, Pleasant Hill Shaker Village near Lexington, KY. Every time I visit there I can almost hear all the people who have lived there over the years. Continue reading MME35 – The Light At The End Of The Tunnel
MME29 – The Eternal Glass Bulb..
I have had one piece of glass in my collection for more years than I can remember. It is a 4″ clear globe that, like chameleons, changes depending on where it is placed. You would never guess that this picture … Continue reading MME29 – The Eternal Glass Bulb..
