Busy, Busy, Busy

Here’s one of a small stack of artist trading cards I’ve been making lately. This is from a photo by T. Bruce at Eyes. Mind. Heart. I’ve been making some cards by request which is a nice stretch for me. Barn owls and mini-portraits mainly.

More “The Office” Drawings

I got such lovely responses for my last “The Office” drawings that I sat down and did some more.

Yesterday I lay in the grass in the backyard gazing at the blue sky. It was like aContinue reading “Spring: Here, Gone, and Back Again”

That way I can constantly be pleased with myself. I really don’t have a favorite cooking tool because I don’t get thrilled byContinue reading “Back to the Everyday Matters Challenges”

Neck and Neck

Last week I drew this in my journal. I was trying to write about current events instead of my usual self-absorbed scribblings about what I was feeling. Even I find that boring upon rereading. Anyway, since the Wisconsin and Hawaii contests are today, I thought I might as well post this little drawing here. IfContinue reading “Neck and Neck”
