Another Morning Ritual…

Another of my routines in the morning is my morning pages. I have spoken of this before in previous posts.

End of 2019 Doodle Pages

Here are the last two pages of 2019. Doing the creative borders takes more time but I like how they look. I usually spend my Sundays on preparing the page for the week. In the 3rd photo, you can see how the beginning of the week looks before I pop the doodle into it.

Where’s the Cats?

More importantly, where’s Gina? For the past few months, I have been working on a series of paintings for a solo show here on Long Island. There are 14 paintings that will be curated by John Cino, Curator for the Patchogue Arts Council.
