DD92 – A Psychedelic Snowball
I simply can’t stay away from Digital Doodle Abstracts forever. I gotta flush them from my mind in order for other stuff to take root. Life would be a more interesting journey if we could actually see snowballs like this.🤣 Continue reading DD92 – A Psychedelic Snowball
Post-Impressionism
I became familiar with Van Gogh in my pre-teen years and have had his painting “Starry Night” on my walls ever since. There is just something about the vivid colors and distorted forms that drew me in. Continue reading Post-Impressionism
Plain & Simple

LA2 – 1st Serious Attempt
I’m not sure just when I did this line art drawing. I think it was in early 2025. It took several hours to complete. After it was done I guess I let it fall through the cracks so to speak. Or maybe it was just lying in the embers in the back of my mind waiting to get resurrected. Continue reading LA2 – 1st Serious Attempt
DD83 – Out Of Focus

DD76 – A Rainbow Bath

Clothesline Art is primarily made up of two distinct things. They are pictures of things we see in daily life but don’t draw our attention.

DD55 – California Sunset
I went deaf before closed captions were available, so when I watched TV, I used to make up my own story of what I was watching. Of course I was always wrong. In that vein, I will let you make … Continue reading DD55 – California Sunset
DD53 – Aflight

DD44 – Allergies…
This is my rendition of what allergies are today. It just seems like many more kids today have serious allergies than they did in my youth.

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
In my travels through hundreds of museums, I have discovered that I have an affinity for shadows. I just love how this one bird sculpture becomes several just through lighting. Continue reading MME10 – Bird(s) Aflight
