Violet, the tiny sea dragon, doesn’t have wings but longs to fly like her airborne cousins. Swan and Duckie are the best friends ever. Duckie always rides along on Swan’s back because, well, he’s afraid to swim.

Esmerelda and the Pink Diva Bird
Esmerelda is a shy daydreamer who would love to dance ballet with a large ballet troupe and hopes to someday be a prima ballerina. The Pink Diva Bird dreams of singing opera at La Scala in Italy. She practices her scales every day and loves to dress up. These creatures came from sketches done inContinue reading “Esmerelda and the Pink Diva Bird”
Happy Hearts Valentine Themed Sketchbook
Ok, so I am a wee bit late posting these. This hand bound, hand painted, 20 page sketchbook was a little labor intensive and most of the postcards my mom received from this sketchbook were critters without page embellishments. I just finished all of the embellishments today. Some of these may get bumped out byContinue reading “Happy Hearts Valentine Themed Sketchbook”

Little dog & Owls
I started to play with drawing bulldogs but this little guy happened instead. The whole drawing was “accidental.” Sometimes the pencil has a mind of its own.

With all the beautiful flowers and plants that grow in my part of Florida, these do not and hyacinths have always been aContinue reading “Hyacinth”
Parsley
Here’s another sketch of an item I usually don’t consider high on my list of subject matter to draw or paint. Sketched with an opaque watercolor and ink on toned Stonehenge paper in my homemade sketchbook. The sketch hasn’t been retouched digitally…..yet. Parsley. Parsley is one of the herbs that I have growing in potsContinue reading “Parsley”
Garlic
I don’t think I ever actually dedicated a sketch page to a garlic bulb. Ever. I popped open my fridge and the bulb that was in there was a wild thing. It’s fresh but the ones I have been finding at the store are more loose-y goose-y like the one in the fridge with hugeContinue reading “Garlic”
