A letter and some thoughts
I’ve been writing on my Substack – A.M. Sketching – each week and sharing my sketchbook pages and thoughts as I work on another fine art series. This week I shared a letter I wrote to our great nephew – in which I talk about adulting well and the use of mundane things we enjoy as a way to help get through difficulties within the sea of life. I also talked about mental condoms. You can see my…

Thumb issues
FYI I’m still here. I’ve been having thumb issues so I’ve been limiting my poke-on-a-screen time to updating my weekly Substack newsletter which contains my sketchbook pages from the week. Here’s the link for that if you want to catch up. https://sueclancy.substack.com/ It goes almost without the need to say so that I’m still doing my regular in-real-life painting and drawing. It’s just got more…

The Owl and Pussycat opening party
As they say in show business “the show must go on”… the week of my opening party for my series of paintings inspired by Edward Lear’s poem “The Owl and the Pussycat” I had a severe allergic reaction to some eye medication. Went to the doctor the day before my big event and got new medicine to combat the allergy. And the very next day, June 6, was the opening party for my fine art exhibit. So…
The Owl and Pussycat exhibit installation
At Burnt Bridge Cellars, my wife, Judy, Mark Mahan, the winery owner, and I installed my one person exhibit on Tuesday. My exhibit opening party is Friday, June 6, 2025 and the exhibit will run through the end of July. The gallery that represents my work, Caplan Art Designs, will handle questions and sales. I appreciate other people’s ideas on display of my work because by this point I’m “too…
Nearing the Bong-tree and the runcible spoon hour
This week I’m delivering all of my new artworks for a one-person exhibit at the urban winery Burnt Bridge Cellars. Currently my studio looks like this. Via one of the galleries that represents my work year around, Caplan Art Designs, I’m exhibiting 13 of my newest artworks at Burnt Bridge Cellars during both June and July!

Framing things
I’m working on framing my fine art for upcoming exhibitions via the Caplan Art Designs Gallery this year. I’ve finished 13 new artworks to be shown, via the gallery, at the winery Burnt Bridge Cellars in June and July 2025 and these new ones along with more new art will be included in another exhibit later in October at the gallery location. As I’ve worked on the framing I’ve been thinking: the…
Studio nonsense
Since Jan 2025 I’ve become increasingly alarmed by the US Republican regimes manipulations of words and their meanings. Specifically their tactics of outright lies, lies by ommission, goal-post moving, gaslighting, DARVO, hypocrisy, book bans, censorship, the firing of people, random closures of government departments, the cessation of record keeping, the removal of photos/documents from…
Call-and-Response: “Strawberry Balloon” - poem by Elizabeth Gauffreau (art by Clancy)
One of my favorite types of blog posts is the call-and-response, when a piece of creative expression I see online prompts me to create something of my own in response to it. In this instance, artist Sue Clancy posted the latest addition to her whimsical menagerie, the porcupine Spike Prickly, borne aloft by a strawberry […] Call-and-Response: “Strawberry Balloon” Thank you so much Elizabeth…

PSA about art and humanity
I write today in support of my fellow local artists and all artists everywhere. You are more important and more necessary now than ever. And it doesn’t matter that you’re not famous – what matters is that you are creating something. Art relates to our humanity like water relates to the thirsty body. I write today because yesterday I had someone in my social media gloating about the election…

Around the block
My one-person fine art exhibit at the Caplan Art Designs Gallery is opening Oct 3 from 6 to 8pm and the exhibit will run throughout October. I’ll admit that of all my new artworks the one mentioned in this post is the one I’m most looking forward to seeing people playing with during the reception. I look forward to seeing people playing with my Eggheads too… but this post is about my picture…
Doodlebugs
Within my Figures Of Speech 2.0 fine art exhibit which opens Oct 3 and continues throughout October at the Caplan Art Designs Gallery I have a sub-exhibit that I’ve titled “Doodlebugs”. It contains a sculpture, several framed paintings and a printed book. With my sculpture I refer, visually, to science museum displays because the scientific study of various species and how their varieties enrich…
As the crow flies
I made an artist book “As The Crow Flies” for my exhibit at the Caplan Art Designs Gallery– opening Oct 3 – my book was inspired when I realized that with 8 independent bookstores and 12 public library branches in the town where I live that wherever I go in town I’m within about 2 miles, as the crow flies, from a source for books!!This 14 page handmade artist book was created using pen and ink on…
