Merry Christmas!

A quick sketch of an ornament we found at one of the local antique shops! Here’s to wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas! Enjoy!

I have a rubber duck sitting in my studio. I stayed at a hotel several years ago with my daughter, I forget which chain, and they had rubber duck in every hotel room. So this guy found his way home with us and has been in my studio ever since. I added the hat forContinue reading “Santa Duck”

Soldier boy

This little nutcracker is in the center of many on a shelf in our living room.

Blow up bear

This bear has been on our lawn for a few years. We recently purchased a new fan for him but he hasn’t been staying upright too well. I sketched him at a good moment. We are still tweaking him and he may need a bit of waterproofing or something to get him right.

I was scrolling through my saved Sktchy photos this morning and saw this photo and the caption just popped into my head…..😂 My morning routine is down to a page. I used to do a two page format but I switched to a one page format for December and I like it so much IContinue reading “Pun intended”

Santa Clown and something totally awesome

I found out last week that my Horses of Asia map was selected for They Draw and Travel’s Maps of Asia book! I am so excited! You can get a copy of the book from Amazon! This morning’s sketch inspiration: There are multiple submissions on Sktchy of clowns, especially since clowns are thought of asContinue reading “Santa Clown and something totally awesome”
