Goodnight Sweetheart for Sketchbook Project The boy…I couldn’t resist this one. There was still a lot of light coming through the window so I shut off the flash. The photo is blurry, but it captures the wonderful, soft window light. I love my boy!

Once Upon a Time
Once Upon a Time — for Sketchbook Project Wow, I can’t believe it’s been almost a week since I last posted. That’s not like me. Well, my life just got silly busy. I’m catering for the road crew that’s repairing the damage after the flood, and I’m working on a large painting, and I’m designingContinue reading “Once Upon a Time”
Cup of Tea?
Cup of Tea? for the sketchbook project I found an old family photo album the other day while digging around in a box for an art book. This is a picture of ME, age six, and my dog, Max. He was so funny…every time my parents would aim the camera, he would race to beContinue reading “Cup of Tea?”
These Boots are Made for Walking
These Boots…for sketchbook project My little girls’ boots. I want some! I’ll be sad when she grows out of them. They are so cute, and just my style…lol! I sat these in front of me on the coffee table last night and drew them while I watched t.v. Needless to say, I don’t remember whatContinue reading “These Boots are Made for Walking”
The Boy–My Little Couch Potato
My Little Couch Potato — for the Sketchbook Project Here’s Jacob…I know…my kids again, but there’s a reason I picked Boys and Girls for my Sketchbook Project title…I have one of each, so I figured there would be lots of inspiration to “draw” from:) My son is not the typical 7 year old. He lovesContinue reading “The Boy–My Little Couch Potato”

Modge Podge Handpainted Jewelry Pendants

Dora’s Dinosaur Rescue
Dora’s Dinosaur Rescue for Sketchbook Project I decided to try to have a little fun with a still life today. I’m trying to read “The Artist’s Way” right now, because, aside from the sketchbook thing, I’m feeling a little creatively blocked. I don’t really know which direction to take my art, now that the showContinue reading “Dora’s Dinosaur Rescue”
