I collect quotes, so I enjoyed this challenge. It was to pick a favorite quote (very difficult) and then to draw it. I really enjoyed doing this. I’m working on a whole book of quotes. What I think I might do is make a sketchbook of quotes and drawings that go with them.
Gotta love ATCs. I really like the one of the left, I think the one of the right could have come out better. I didn’t use the best watercolor paper, so I think that has a lot to do with it.

I know I haven’t been around. I got in a bad funk, but now I’m back, posting, and working on art. Yay! These are some pieces I’ve finished in the last few days.
This challenge was to create a piece with tea and a dessert. Yay blueberry muffins!
This challenge was to create an ATC with a pocket on it. The little card says “Some day’s there won’t be a song in your heart. Sing anyway.”
This challenge said to include geishas. I was going to draw one, but I wanted to incorperate the japanese paper and lettering. And let’s not lie, I was on a bit of a time crunch. I’ll probably draw a geisha soonly, I have a few reference photos I want to use.
Last, but not Least……
I got to paint the fire hydrant outside of the vet clinic. I think it came out alright. It makes me smile and I’ve gotten some fun compliments on it.
And that’s all for now. Tune in next time for……some other stuff!

I was out to dinner with some friends and we were watching a basketball game. One of them commented on two players saying “It’s like they put a marshmellow out there to guard a Doberman!” Of course I had to draw it.
It’s been pouring for days now. On and off. Of course I know this saying and one of my challenges from awhile ago was to create something with cats and dogs. I’m just kind of annoyed that I didn’t give my gal a neck.
I might add color to these sketches later just for fun. My sketchbook is rather more black and white then I care for.
I think today I’m going to go outside and draw, if the weather holds. Right now it’s beautiful outside. Oh, and I titled this entry bar sketches because when I really really need to get out of the house I’ll go to the bar down the street and just doodle. I meet the nicest person, another artist, and we eneded up talking for hours. It’s amazing what pleasant conversation does for the soul.
