Favorites of the year - first 6 mos. 2006

Tuesday, January 2nd, 2007

Yesterday I said I was going to pick some of my favorite drawings and paintings of 2006 and take a look at what they represented to me on my Creative Journey. It’s going to be too long to do all 12 months - so I’ll do the second six months tomorrow.
Now, when I look back […]

Something winged this way comes

Wednesday, November 1st, 2006

I am frustrated today because my Yahoo email is bouncing and every reactivation request I’ve put in is not working. I get error messages back that reassure me that Yahoo is working hard to upgrade its sites to serve me better and if I don’t hear anything after 4 hrs to get updates here […]

Mulholland House

Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006

What? A watercolor journal page? What happened to the paintings?
This is an “oldie” from about a month ago. I was out interviewing people for a video about hospice today, which was very emotional and moving. So I didn’t get any drawing or painting accomplished. But hey, it’s only 9:30 Pacific time, the night’s […]

Drawing the drawer

Monday, August 14th, 2006

Last night we were in a Starbucks next to a bookstore and I glanced over and saw a guy drawing in a Moleskine while his companion watched. So, of course, I took out my sketchbook and started drawing him. (After all, who could have a problem being drawn, when they, themself, were drawing something?) He […]

Hollywood Nights

Wednesday, July 12th, 2006

At the corner of Hollywood Blvd. and Highland Avenue, there’s a big shopping complex where jazz concerts are held on warm summer evenings. You can buy a glass of wine and listen to great music, and then stroll around the shops. I didn’t draw it in this view, but the whole center court has a […]

We are all drifting through

Thursday, July 6th, 2006

These clouds were painted early last fall in one of my Moleskines. I can’t remember if I posted it before, but I don’t think so. Sometimes I try to think deep thoughts and wonder where the water vapor is now that was in those clouds when I drew them. Maybe those drops are somewhere over […]

LACMA Courtyard

Tuesday, July 4th, 2006

We went to the LA County Museum of Art yesterday, saw some exhibits (not Hockney, we didn’t have enough time for that) but the one on art glass was wonderful. At one point we took a break in the courtyard. Here are some of the people that were sitting close enough to see, but far […]

The Chowhound, er cat

Thursday, June 22nd, 2006

During the few weeks that Mandu lost her vision and much of her appetite, we started giving her bowls of half and half or even whipping cream just to get some liquid and calories in her. Not surprisingly, she took a liking to it, and would lap cream even when she rejected her usual cat […]

Two sleepyheads

Sunday, June 18th, 2006

I drew this portrait of my husband and Mandu last night when I saw them posed like this by the light of a single floor lamp bulb. Even though I knew I was waaay out of my comfort zone in attempting it, I’m glad I did. I used a 3B mechanical pencil in a […]

More Mandu moments

Friday, June 16th, 2006

Last night I did two more Mandu sketches while Glenn held her. The top one was done with the Kuretake brush pen and the lower one was drawn with a Derwent 8B graphitint pencil. It’s water soluble but I didn’t add any water to it - it was just what I had handy. It has […]
