It’s about time for me to return to drawing people. The sketch below is from a photo I took in Central Park. It was a bit wintry as recall. I liked the composition of the four older ladies facing one way and the younger man walking in the opposite direction. Please visit my Etsy shop […]
My meditation on Paddy Reilly’s led me to the times I would try playing the Bach Double Concerto with my father and my brother Dave. I think we got through it a couple of times, but not unscathed. Dad, although he was a highly-regarded physicist, had trouble counting the beats before he was to play […]

This rendition of the interior of Paddy Reilly’s is made up of sketches of individual photos I took during the jam sessions I attended when I lived down the block from this Irish Pub.

I used to play at Irish music jam sessions at Paddy Reilly’s in NYC. I’m pretty sure the three outside window sun shades were did not have green stripes, but I used my artist’s license to make up a color. One could say that the green awnings, along with the orange-y bricks are reminiscent of […]
I lived just down the street from Paddy Reilly’s for a while in the 1980s and 90s. I played Irish music on the fiddle back then. On Tuesday nights there was a jam session. I enjoyed that so much: blending in with the bigger sound of the many and varied instruments, the camaraderie, and of […]
These are the images I sketched this past week. It is the second instance of portrait-oriented images I drew in this series (the first collection remains unpublished). I like the combination of pen and ink and watercolor. I wish the shadows were softer in the 4th sketch, but otherwise, I am happy with this series. […]
Again, I failed to note the actual location of this doorway. I looked up Paas Gallery in NYC, but as I suspected, there is barely a trace of it. I do like the design on the door and doorframe.

My photo of Brooklyn Public Library’s enormous Grand Army Plaza entrance did not immediately reveal the wealth of visual imagery present on the columns and the ironwork above the doors. I wish I had taken pictures of each detail: they so beautifully represent all that is available for everyone to read in the public library (unless […]
I was more into clocks than doorways when I took the photo upon which this sketch is based. It is somewhere near 23rd Street, but I don’t remember exactly where.
