I didn’t do it….

One of my husband’s favorite quotes is “I didn’t do it and if I did, I wouldn’t admit it.”  This quote shows up frequently in my work, usually to depict Mack, our long haired Chihuahua, when he’s done some mischief and wants to look innocent.

Sketching stuffed animals at the library and library Sketch Club display

The Patchogue Sketch Club meets at our local library during the dark winter months. We occasionally sketch at a restaurant or other indoor venue in the winter, but the library has become our winter home.  The library staff members are very gracious hosts and many of the library’s visitors stop by to see what weContinue reading “Sketching stuffed animals at the library and library Sketch Club display”

Fundraiser Painting

Taking a break from Zombie dolls to do this post….  I was honored to be asked to paint during the Dia de los Muertos Celebration, a fundraiser for our local historical cemetery.  I frequently sketch and paint at the Lakeview Cemetery, so I was more than happy to donate my time and a painting forContinue reading “Fundraiser Painting”
