I have done something horrible

Or maybe I didn’t It depends on how I look at it… With fresh eyes…. I’ve hacked up a bunch of my art 😱 I have a bin of unframed art and I needed a new project. I had put the art in a bin for a later time when I might touch it up.Continue reading “I have done something horrible”

Art with Grandkids

Four of the five grandkids are here for a visit. They wanted an art lesson from Grandma. Fortunately, Carla Sonheim has done many Children’s’ art weeks so I was able to use the Picasso Elephant lesson with my four grandchildren ages 7 and 4 (with no sets of twins). The 7 year olds Leila andContinue reading “Art with Grandkids”

Morning routine

These sketches are part of my morning routine. I do these every morning for my daily warm up, which is similar to the drills that soccer players do everyday for ball control with their feet. My drills are for eye/hand aka “seeing” and the boxes are thinking creatively and drawing spontaeously. I use the SktchyContinue reading “Morning routine”

Jenny

Carmella

Just hatched this morning, everything was new to Carmella. She looked down at her feet. “Wow, what are those? Can I eat them?“ This is an Artist Trading Card sized art. ATCs are traded between artists and they have to be 2.5 x 3.5 in. I prepped a few ATC sized pieces because I canContinue reading “Carmella”

Morty and Edna

The first time Edna met Morty, she thought he was big and scary.

Where did the bunnies go?

I am happy to say that the bunny sketchbook is full, so I can retire that one to the bookcase shelf. It’s time to move on from bunnies to other creatures. In the mean time, here’s some odd birds…… The green parrot and sapsucker hummingbird were not happy that a bunch of groundhog faeries movedContinue reading “Where did the bunnies go?”

Live critter Sunday

I have so many photos of real animals, especially of Chloe and Mack, that I think I’ll make Sundays a real creature day. Today’s photo is of Mack. He’s hiding under the end table because Chloe and Mack needed baths. Chloe went first so Mack ran for cover.
