The light on this cabin is just beautiful. Light is EVERYTHING in art. I never did meet the people who own this cabin. They might not even know there is a book called The Cabins of Wilsonia (available here. for $80) They might not even know that there is a great drawing of their cabin in […]
Cabin Drawing from Wilsonia
The Cabins of Wilsonia is available for sale here: The Cabins of Wilsonia Here is today’s drawing for you. I donated the original drawing to the silent auction held each year by the Wilsonia cabin owners. Some lucky person outbid her competitors and won the drawing.

The Cabins of Wilsonia
My other blog, The Cabins of Wilsonia, is broken. I’ve neglected it and now I don’t want to get trapped on the phone with weird music in the background while a recorded voice tells me the same lie over and over. “Due to an unusually high volume of calls, we are experiencing long wait times. […]

It has been a couple of weeks since you saw the progression, so let’s review. First, the sketches so the customer could choose the angle. […]
Cabin Commission Continued
Thank you, Veterans. You probably didn’t want to go, probably didn’t like being there, maybe questioned why, but you did it so we didn’t have to. Thank you! (including, especially, Cousin Bruce) I would have said “Wilsonia Cabin Commission”, but I liked 3 Cs in a row in the title. When you compare this to […]
Worst Critic
Has anyone ever said to you, “You are your own worst critic”? It might be meant as an insult, although it could be interpreted as a compliment, meaning “no one else is as hard on you because there is no reason to be hard on you”. I think being one’s own worst critic is a […]

Weird
First, I want to share something with you. I am a spelling nut. Typos jump out and slap me between the eyes. (My own don’t – it is a fact that proofreading one’s own work is nearly impossible.) It sometimes feels as if I might have a form of Tourette’s Syndrome, except that I shout […]
