  • Don’t Stop Swaying

  • Stream in the Spring

  • Tiny Dancer

  • The Waiting

    I haven’t sketched for a bit because of other issues in my life. I almost forgot how healing it is to pick up a pencil. “She” only looks similar to the statue picture she was drawn from. I thought she really needed to come to life and hope I did her justice in that.

  • Reflection

    I believe the photo I sketched this from is a statue. It looks like it might be a gravestone. I just fell in love with it. Not sure what the statue is called, but my sketch is “Reflection”. I’m thinking it may become a painting.

  • From a Distance

    A friend asked me if I could do a sketch of a Blue Jay for her so she could give it to her mother. This is the result. I am hoping that she likes it.

  • Lady with Sparrow

    Face angles are starting to get easier. Though, I have to admit that the left arm is a bit off. All in all, I like the way it turned out.

  • Dressing Down

    Another sketch of a photo of a sculpture. That face angle was a bear to get right!

  • Draped Lady

    I think I am getting better at folds in drapery! Also, I impressed myself by getting the upturned face pretty correct. I have a hard time with faces at odd angles. Its all a learning process! Fun. Sometimes very frustrating, but I love it.

  • Poppies

    I love Poppies. They’re almost like paper flowers that come with their own little fireworks display. When the pods are ripe, they explode seeds everywhere. How cool is that?
