I mentioned before that I would love to make my own wooden boxes with inlaid veneers.  I designed one a couple of weeks ago or so.  Here is another.  I would actually really love to design furniture.  I think I…

I had the joy of painting the other night and mixing up an entirely new palette for a commission I'm working on. One of the great moments that comes with painting is mixing colors with a pallet knife.  It's like laying…

Today's drawing is of The Great Ascent. Being an atheist, this is about individual ascent through life, through adversity and through great planning.  It's my sculptural ode to all that we can be. Britt : )

As a huge fan of both Aardman Animations and Cheese, I too would very much like to build a rocketship and project myself to the moon for a bit of cheese.  Of course I would take my cheese and use…

There are many laughs.  There is the polite laugh which is often as nonchalantly offered up as the polite smile.  You know where one is expected to give back.  Then there is the rambunctious and perilously unpredictable laugh that comes…

One of the things I love about my recently acquired ukulele is the wood pattern.  The first thing I thought of when it came out of it's case was a lovely wooden music box inlaid with a soft caressable top…

Well, it looks like we may be moving after fifteen years in our little two bedroom apartment.  I for one have wanted a home, a real home since I was little.  There are many things I can live without and…

Today's sketch is capturing the life cycle of a fish, the oceans and in essence humanity.  It's Darwin's Dance; a  happy one at that.  In a thoughtless, hurried world it's nice to remember that life itself happily swims along, regenerating…

I can't wait to move into a place that actually has a dining room or at least an eat in kitchen.  Why?  Well aside from any of the obvious reasons that are asurredly coming to mind, I love to throw…

I specifically set out to leave enough breathing space for the imagination to add ukulele or guitar strings.  That is what the piece is all about.  I have bought a ukulele and have some lovely songs, intonation, ring and rhythm…

Working through some ideas this week.  I usually listen to a lot of jazz and classical when I set out to chew some ideas.  Earthworks is one of my favorite jazz ensembles and this is my ode to Apart and…

I have been known to over think things.  Then again that is what moves me to greater heights, dreams, goals and decisions.  I churn my thoughts quite thoroughly and reflect. What comes of this?  We shall see. Britt

Discombobulated me... My head after four straight days of tooth pain. Britt : )

I've been writing a lot of songs lately.  Usually I have something rolling around my head when in a good silence.  But now that I've decided to finally buy a Ukulele, learn how to play it and find all those…

You, rolling around my heart I drew this over at Corner Bakery yesterday.  Just me my thoughts and a good read. Britt : )

Fills me, makes me blink.  It brings back memories and still makes me tick. Britt : )

This past weekend I had a chance to visit with some old friends and frankly it left me pleased from the moment I saw them.  Not that polite public pleased but that wonderfully inner pleased that is really well another…

We are more than platelets, we are moments in life.  With that, I live mostly on a great infusion of being O-so-Positive about the world at large and those within it. Britt : )

There is an aesthetic beauty in the soft and yet pressured swirl that occurs with touch.  Touch is how we love, how we feel and how we express ourselves. I was out for an hour last night, drawing quietly in…

Had a lovely breakfast with Steve this morning over at Tasty Diner in Bethesda.  French toast, eggs, tea and pencil to paper.  I was able to get my first two lines out before the food arrived.  Good thing, this became…

I have been working around the clock working on a client deadline that is the very best project one could ask for but one that takes time, time and more time.  Went to sleep at 7 this morning.  Working tonight…

I spent a quick hour earlier to day drafting my version of the guitar maker's workshop.  A friend of mine Carla Speed McNeil painted a phenomenal design on a guitar for a charity auction and it's just great.  This started…

I first went to Disney World in 1972.  It was amazing.  The mouseketeers were there as well as  everything from cowboys and Indians to tomorrow land which of course stole my heart.  I grew up under a mother who loved…

As I sat sketching today in the coffee shop I kept thinking about soon...  Soon my life will be... Soon I will be doing... Soon I shall succeed... Soon I will... and so forth.  Of course soon is now, but…

The art of swaying me isn't easy.  In fact the odds are generally against it.  That said I am always open to be proved otherwise and frankly just love it when it actually happens.  The truth should always win.  I…
