I am working on my spring sketchbook again after a little hiatus. Yeah I know, it’s high summer. As I am typing this, a shelf cloud crawls across the sky covering us with a thunderstorm blanket. The palms look like tall thin ladies with their hair blowing behind them. Two sandhill cranes walked by myContinue reading “Bunnies are back”

Friendly Faces Day 41
Today’s prompt is “tiny” The Brevard Zoo has a wonderful habitat for Meerkats. They are comical creatures and I took lots of reference photos.
Friendly Faces Day 29
Today’s prompt is “tall” so it seemed appropriate to use the giraffe reference photos that I took last week at the Brevard Zoo. The cool thing about this Zoo is that you can feed the giraffes.
Friendly Faces Day 27
Today’s prompt is “bashful” and I thought Chloe needed a turn since Mack’s portrait was done last week. Chloe doesn’t like to be photographed. As soon as she sees a cell phone she closes her eyes or looks away, lol.
Day off from Friendly Faces
There is no Friendly Faces prompt for Sundays but I have been working on a side project in between everything else. I made this sketchbook from felt and I stitched it together yesterday. I have been learning some new and really cool bookbinding techniques and I love this stitch much better than the long stitch.
Friendly Faces Day 23
Today’s prompt is “heart.” I have this plant on my table that has heart shaped leaves and flowers so I did the plant today for a change of pace. This is technically “plein air” since I did it from life while sitting outdoors.
Friendly Faces Day 21
Today’s prompt is “curious” and we all know why cats have 9 lives….
Friendly Faces Day 19
Happy Memorial Day! Today’s prompt is Pet’s face. I was going to sketch Chloe and Mack together, but it’s a small sketchbook and I would have to squeeze both on a 5×5 page, so I opted to do Mack this time. I’ll do a Sketch of Chloe later. This is Mack just before his summerContinue reading “Friendly Faces Day 19”
Figment
Figment is another imaginary creature, so for you model horse folks that follow me, Figment isn’t meant to be anatomically correct….she’s just another of the many creatures that wander the pages of my sketchbooks….and started as a random mark on the page…. Figment is a small stocky pony that lives on the Emerald Isle. SheContinue reading “Figment”
New book
Well I finished the Valentine’s book and I am on to the next holiday. I don’t know if St Patrick’s Day is technically a holiday but my mom will like the Irish post cards. Although I am part Irish, I don’t understand the need to party and get wasted on St Patrick’s Day, which seemsContinue reading “New book”
