­ - tagged meme

Monday, May 14th, 2007

Dear Friends,
I’m sorry that I don’t have time right now to do a new tagging, so I am using the one that I did before. I got to 8 and then got too busy to do the rest. I appreciate being included, however.
I was tagged by Evy in the 20 things meme. Like Evy, I […]

Asparagus - Watercolor painting

Thursday, March 1st, 2007

Asparagus 9 x 12 - 100 lb. paper
From my sketchbook …. When asparagus shows up in stores it’s a sure sign of spring, even if it comes from Chile or who knows where. My dear husband knows how much I love the vegetable and when it appears for a […]

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 […]

Blind Contour Friday - leaning tower of water

Thursday, August 3rd, 2006

This month’s Blind contour Friday theme is “cool.” This water bottle sitting on my desk was a likely suspect. It’s not really cool because it’s sitting in a room full of monitors but I can use my imagination. Just like I am using my imagination to pretend that the bottle is vertical instead of looking […]

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 […]

When in doubt, draw a dog

Sunday, July 9th, 2006

We did a lot of yard work today and I finished up a proposal for a documentary, so by the end of the day I was feeling a distinct lack o’ energy. So I decided to draw just whatever I found lying around. Which, as usual, was Ripley. The straight-on face was from her doghouse […]

Blind Contour Skyday

Friday, July 7th, 2006

A blind contour piece of sky from our back yard - our garage, our neighbor’s roofline, and the palms we see between them.
A tarted up painted version will be coming later …

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 […]

Mandu glimpses

Friday, June 23rd, 2006

I drew these the other day at the same time that I drew Mandu’s long, luxurious tail, of which she is justifiably proud. The first ink drawing was done one evening as we took her out in the yard and let her walk around in the grass. She seemed to like it but kept turning […]

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 […]
