Lunch crowd at Langers

Wednesday, November 30th, 2005

Langers Deli has reputedly the best pastrami in Los Angeles, and I wholeheartedly agree. At 7th and Alvarado, diagonally across the street from MacArthur Park, Langers serves exquisite pastrami on crusty warm rye bread with a home made mustard that is just the right degree of heat to tingle your tongue but not to scorch […]

Illustration Friday - “Small”

Tuesday, November 29th, 2005

If you’ve been reading this blog for awhile, you know I’m not exactly an elf and sprite drawing kind of woman. But seeing as how it’s almost Christmas, the time of year when practically anything can happen, especially magical things, well, I sort of got carried away.
This illustration of the theme “Small” began with […]

Blue Hat

Monday, November 28th, 2005

I’ve been reading a book this week called Mastering Glazing Techniques in Watercolor (Rankin) which has been affecting my thinking about other kinds of painting. Perhaps you’ve seen a watercolor painting in which the colors seemed to glow from within, or one that had an ethereal feeling to it. How do they do that? The […]

Morning Run

Thursday, November 24th, 2005

Every year our city holds a Run for the Hungry which benefits the community center and local shelters. It goes right by our house which is the only time we get any pedestrian traffic to speak of. Most of the people were lightly jogging or strolling, but there were a few who were clearly […]

Clear Choice

Wednesday, November 23rd, 2005

Ths collage began as a drawing of a dove in the middle of the Moleskine page. It looked sort of forlorn and alone sitting there, so I started to tear paper and collage around it. It just evolved from there with other imagery suggesting war and peace.
Text was from a magazine headline.
1968 redux. Here we […]

Pilling Cat Mandu

Monday, November 21st, 2005

Listen, you little wretch. This is for your own good. Yes, I know it is a foreign object. Yes, I know it is yellow and tastes funny.
I tried hiding it in a lump of cat food before and you spit that out, too. That was the easy way. Now we’re doing it my way.
Why? Because […]

Long Hair

Monday, November 21st, 2005

I had wanted to get to the Doodah parade this weekend, but work called so we had to pass. So, to make up for the people drawing opportunity I drew this person instead from a photo reference. She’s not the doodah type - a bit reserved and contemplative for that, but had an interesting face […]

Blind Contour FrumpDay

Thursday, November 17th, 2005

I didn’t do the self-portrait last week, because, well, I forgot about the theme until it was too late and I had already drawn the loosely-wired fire hazard hanging lamp of Damocles.
This looks a little like me, here and there. Except for the nose. And the mouth. The hair looks like mine, though!
See other blind […]
