alphabet girls J & D

I worked on two girls this week...
creatively that's about it...
My oldest daughter is back home for a few weeks as she's off work for the summer so our schedules have been altered a bit.

And I must be tired because I cannot think of a thing to say about these pieces.
So, they stand alone today.
Have a good weekend!

a glimpse into my sketchbook

I have been wanting to paint these girls as often as I get a chance lately...
and since I have foxes on my mind, i added the fox, Marigold. I first drew him over a year ago, there's a post here about how he came about....

(again, too dark in my house to get a good photo, I had to try to lighten them in photoshop. We are getting warmer weather but today is dark and rainy) but anyway.... Meet Fern, Marigold and Caroleander.....

more from my index card a day sketchbook... just about 5 minutes a day, each day, no grand plan, no scheme, just a few minutes on an index card...

a glimpse into my sketchbook

My sketchbooks used to be filled with color and nature sketches, lately they have page after page of these wide faced girls in black and white. Actually the color has only gone because I am using a cheaper sketchbook instead of a watercolor journal.... it just doesn't work well with paint  but I am not sure why these characters keep appearing.... so yesterday i did a few quick sketches with color just to  remember what I used to do...

Happy Paint party friday!
