What's On My Mind

Windy Walk

Long walks feel so good after a morning of sitting at the drawing table.

Everyone enjoys them.

Just a Little Something I'm Working On

Rushing Around

'Tis the season.

Dog Days

It's very quiet around here.

August is an odd month.

More WIP. And February.

Another rough sketch from a work-in-progress.

I've been a drawing fool lately. My walls are covered with sketches for the middle grade novel project I've been working on... SO much fun it is! There's nothing more enjoyable than hunkering down in my little studio or in front of the fire with drawing board, pencil and paper, and getting to know new characters. Kind of makes me forget it's February. (Not that there's anything wrong with February. If only it wasn't so cold. If only I was motivated to wear something other than sweatpants when it's so cold!)

Meanwhile, I could really use more wall space.

Wednesday Noir et Blanc: Spotted Dog

I'm off to my writing group today and ran out of time to finish a new piece of art. My dog is filling in. She's quite graphically pleasing, I think!













This is her in black, white and pink:

Friday Fun: Dog's Days of Summer

Love that water-skiing Dalmatian!

Relief, Reward, and Random Happy Puppy

Relief: New client + 13 map illustrations + 3-1/2 weeks for finished art + fed ex didn't lose the box = deadline met/happy client/happy me.














Reward: New Notebooks! Which color to use first? (Why, red, of course!!!)














Random Happy Puppy: Well, wouldn't you be happy to have your own matching plush?
