These creatures came from sketches done in my morning pages. They started out as a random shape, that I move around until I find something I can work with in that shape, and then pull a creature out of it. Wally the owl is obsessed with hearts and loves Valentine’s Day. He loves hearts decoratedContinue reading “Love gives you wings”

Sketching out
Yesterday was such a beautiful day that I had to go out to sketch. I took a ride up to the North Shore of LI to join a group that was painting there. I wanted to mount my little guerrilla box on the tripod but alas, it didn’t come with the tripod adapter mounting plateContinue reading “Sketching out”
Happy Valentine’s Day!
In between making sketchbooks, making Valentine’s Day cards and a multitude of other projects, here is my map for Valentine’s Day, which is also up on They Draw and Travel’s website. My favorite candy is Lore’s Chocolates in Philadelphia. But I love See’s and I like Kilwin’s ice cream (their candy isn’t bad either.) See’sContinue reading “Happy Valentine’s Day!”

I sketched this possum and found out that possums can eatContinue reading “Getting out to sketch….”
Sketch from Winter Park
Hubby and I took a day trip to Winter Park, Fl. It’s a pretty place. I like Stuart better but it was a nice place to sit and have coffee and sketch for a bit. I used ink, colored pencil and tombows over an acrylic prepped page. Enjoy!
Still working on painting sketchbooks….
This should hold you over though…. This reference photo is a funny guy named Rick in the Sktchy community who is constantly providing us, the artists, with lots of awesome photos. I spoofed him here. I had to….couldn’t pass it up…

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”
