Santa Duck

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.

Quick sketch today

Last night we installed our sketch club holiday display at our local library. It came together very nicely. There are five of my sketchbooks on display….see if you can pick them out. The foxes were sketched today and yesterday. The polar bear is an old holiday blowup that has been dead for a few years.Continue reading “Sketch club show, sketches, resurrection of an “old friend””

Sigh. Back to reality and the chill of home.
