Seasons: Art and Photos

I am in the process of drawing the Seasons.  I now have Spring, Summer and Fall.  Need to get to work on Winter.  I also finished another ink drawing to go with my Sometimes I Dream of Coffee picture.  

Also, today was a magically gorgeous day.  I took some photos of the bloomin' trees.

Hope your Spring is full of life, blossoms, peace and joy!

Spring is lovely!

Under The Sea

Maybe it's because we've been to the ocean recently or maybe because I am trying to stretch myself and try new things.  These are recent pictures that I've drawn.  I started them awhile back and finally finished them.  

Working on some new projects now, will post them when I finish. 

Hope your week is and will be spectacular.  

Any new projects you are working on??

Have a lovely day!  Watch out for octopus.

New Art!

I have finally finished a few art pieces and added them to my Etsy shop.  Hooray, for accomplishments.

Hope you are all enjoying this lovely Spring day and 

Happy St. Patty's Day to you!  

May Ireland kiss you on the cheek and fill you with beauty.

Sketch, Watercolor and Mixed Media

I have been playing a bit this week.  Trying various new things.  Sketching is not so new, but drawing realistic animals is.  I want to stretch my skills and see what I'm made of.  haha!  So to speak!  

I also found a speed paint video of watercolor and thought it looked fun, so I tried that out as well.  I didn't think I'd enjoy it as much as I did.  Pencils are nice, because you have a bit more control, which I'm thinking is my problem.  Trying to control what  I'm doing too much.  I need to let go.  Watercolor is a little more free.  I enjoyed the smattering of it.  Or perhaps that isn't the right word...smathering  maybe?? :D  Well, according to Google, that word doesn't even exist.  Try watercolor and you will know what I mean.  

And lastly, trying the mixed media again.  I'm not done with this, it is still needing something, I just haven't discovered what.  

Once again, I am getting far beyond myself, I still have so many unfinished drawings, longing to be complete.  Oh, where does the time go?

Hope you are all splendidly well and having an exceptional week.  :)

A Good Week!

This has been a really good week.  It's nice when things begin to fall into place and you realize that timing is everything.  It's a blessing!  My oldest son got a job that he is pretty excited about.
Terri and I are going to be working for a boutique that has some super cute clothes, we already did a photo shoot to help promote the store.
My next son is volunteering at a really cool place and it will eventually become a job for him.  Now I just need to help my next son find his niche'.  Always a tough thing to do.  I'm still feeling like I'm not quite sure what my niche' is.  So, I am just sketching random things and painting when I get a minute.
Tonight I was drawing in my black paper sketchbook.  Here are some pictures of what I drew.  I apologize, the quality is very poor, I used my phone  ( I was too lazy to walk to the other room and get my camera)  Also, I will add a photo of Terri, wearing a very groovy outfit from the boutique.
Hope you all had a good week as well.  Peace and Blessings to you!!

Love this dress.

I also played with a couple of photos tonight.
Here they are! 

For The Birds

Recently, I have been working on a new series of pictures and trying out some different techniques with my watercolor pencils...nothing too extreme, but just a little different from my other pictures.
This series of pictures is girls and their birds.  These are the first 3 that I've completed and I have 3 more that are in progress.  I would love to hear what you think.  Feedback is always nice.  :)  As always, thank you for popping by.

Hope everyone is doing well and having a splendid week.  Cheers!!

"No Egrets"

(punny, I know!)  

"Nevermore"  

"A Brief Visit"

(my apologies for the poor quality of this photo, it was a bit dark in the room when I took the picture.  Light sure makes a difference.)

The Sketchbook Project

I found this project on another blog and checked it out.  You can go to the link here and see for yourself what it is all about.
I had to have my sketchbook completed and mailed out by Jan. 31, 2012, to the Brooklyn Art Library, where people can come in and check it out.  They can also see it online, as well as everyone else's, who submitted one.
The theme I chose (they give you a list of choices) was "In Ten Minutes".  I'd had many ideas for it, but when I received the book, I didn't get to it right away and then had to fill it out, sort of last minute.  So, the pictures are all very random and had more to do with what I was thinking about at the moment.
Here is my sketchbook.  I would encourage you to check out the link and peruse the many, many amazing artists out there.
Thanks for popping by, hope your day is simply grand!!
