Sketchbook Project — My Darling Daddy
I was feeling inspired this morning as I was looking at the newest “Strokes of Genius” collection of drawings, so I decided to draw my dad. This is just pencil in my little moley, from life while having his morning cigarette…(Hack! Hack!) The eyes look a little freaky in the scan, they’re darker than in the drawing so they look a little over-exaggerated than they do for real…oh well.

After a tumultuous past as a goat milker, laundress, fine art major, waitress and restaurant owner, I've now downscaled to running my own Cafe/Gallery in an effort to maintain a social life and make a few bucks. I live a ridiculously idyllic existence in a fairytale village called Bella Coola on the West Coast of British Columbia with my charming musician husband, two amazingly creative children, and a dog whose favourite past time is eating rotten dead fish and rolling in poo.
In my not so spare time I love to invent healthy whole food recipes, write YA fiction, play guitar, or curl up in my favourite chair with a great book and a gigantic mug of strong black coffee, all while daydreaming of living in Ireland...
