"Offerings" Etsy Shop New Icon

Etsy has prompted it's shop owners to join in a re-design, asking us to produce new mastheads, photos, and icons for our businesses. To that end, I offer you this morning my first attempt at an icon. It's a bit busy, but it incorporates the two directions I've been pulled in lately: painting and coloring books.

The uncolored version of this line drawing is offered for digital download through my Etsy shop, for your own coloring pleasure - only .99¢

What's the Color of Your Coffee?

"Good Morning Coffee" or "Dizzy Diner"

Does that pattern in the tabletop look familiar? Mid-Century, when black and white televisions and boomerangs were the newest thing. 

A line drawing is like a musical score - a theme for artists to fill out with their own colorful jazz. Sort of like "Oh yah, I recognize that. It's Georgia doing 'Dizzy Diner'"

For an instant download of the line drawing, visit my Etsy shop.

Better yet, after you finish coloring on your pad or tablet, get a professional quality print of the art with GicléeOne. Makes a sweet one-of-a-kind gift.

More Coloring Nonsense

Deconstruction - coloring for artists

A peek at my first test drive, coloring on an old Kindle Fire, using Sketchbook Mobile:

I'd love to see your interpretation!

Return Flight Digital Drawing

Instead of reading on the flight home, I played with the Kindle and the SketchBook Mobile app, drawing an imaginary profile of someone looking out the window, a partial closeup, typical of how you would see another passenger.

Squash and Salt Cellar Scratchboard

These are items from my heart: last summer's squashes and a whimsical ceramic salt cellar. Every time I look at this drawing, I recall the smell of fresh pumpkin.


The drawing was done from a still life, using squashes grown in my garden this past summer, stored in the garage through the hard winter, and eaten with gusto after serving as a prop in the studio. Here's the recipe: cut the squash into sections, slather the sections  with ghee, olive oil and jaggery. Sprinkle with sea salt, pepper and cinnamon, then roast at 350˚F until fork tender.


The salt cellar is a much loved little piece of ceramic that I picked up at a craft show at Columbia University a couple of lifetimes ago. I've always been enchanted by the interaction of the two figures - their conversation goes on forever.


This is an unframed, 8" x 10" scratchboard drawing done on an Ampersand flat gessoed panel painted with india ink and sealed with spray fixative. It will be for sale through my Etsy shop.
