Obsession




Canning food with garden fresh produce can become quite an obsession. Sometimes its easier to put up our bounty than it is to eat from the larder.

Coffee Buzz

I had a difficult time painting this, so I have several versions of it. Finally I forced myself to conclude with this version which started out as a hand illustration but now is more digital... Just needed to finish and move on. Maybe I'll come back to it later.

Stay

Finally... I have a new blog post! I have been feverishly planning our three week road trip through the Southwest.  I'm surprised I was able to draw pictures of dogs rather than the all consuming Utah Arches! All summer I have been taking the time saving short cut of painting in photoshop rather than inking. I am getting rather addicted to how quickly I can complete things.

Henry is Hungry

I drew this in a moleskin sketchbook with ink pen this morning. My son is constantly telling me how hungry he is.

Summer Vacation


This is a quick #2 pencil drawing on computer paper.

Since summer vacation is coming, I will spend a little more time watching my daughters creativity and a little less time alone in my studio....

It also means I will do more sewing. My daughter and I will try to transfer our drawings onto fabric and sew them into something useful. I will be posting our progress along with my illustration friday posts.

Bicycle


I drew this for illustration friday over a month ago (before I started posting my work). I thought I would post it today since I think Spring has finally arrived!
