my favorite subject

When in doubt, I love to sketch my husband.
I don’t tire of looking at him, and his goatee and hair changes always make for interesting drawings.
This sketch is the only decent thing I managed to draw on saturday, the first sketchcrawl date of 2009.

edm challenge #4

Draw a mug or cup
Here’s my drawing.
It’s nice to do a small journal next to the drawing. It adds interest to the page and makes it a more memorable event.

a whirlwind day

This morning, Phoenix and I had a  short morning at home ’til it was time to pick up Patti, my mother-in-law, from the train station.

A few minutes at home for lunch, and then it was off to drop off Phoenix at Kindergarten.

Then I gave a try at exercising at Curves with my friend, Sue.  I liked [...]

EDM Challenge #3

Draw a bag, wallet or purse

This is a bag which Erin made for me.  If you’re in the market for a unique bag, she’s the one to talk to.

I need a new one, in fact, because this one’s life, unfortunately has run it’s course, after being designed and made just for me.  I’ve had it [...]

what’s in a name…

GLAU′CIA or GLAUKIA

I came across some of these descriptions the other day. Most of which I knew because I had a teacher in High School who was intent on finding the meaning of my name. He had a huge dictionary in his classroom, which ended up being the source for some of the [...]

The first painting of 2009

So, the garage studio which we’d hoped for, will not be happening anytime soon.

The barn/garage has lots of little problems, and it would take several thousand dollars to make it work.  We’re not sure it’s worth fixing.  In the meantime, we had to spend money on a car instead, so no studio for me there.

But [...]

last drawing of 2008

This is the last sketchbook drawing I did in 2008. I feel good about my progress during this past year, but I’m really excited about this new year!

What do you think I should draw more of?

EDM challenge #2

I drew the second challenge a few days ago, before I got sick.

2. Draw a table lamp, desk lamp, or other lamp.

I squeezed this drawing in while we were at Liza and Ryan’s the day after New Year’s Day.

They were putting my godson, Luke, to bed, and I drew one of their lamps.

I think I [...]

my first white hair

Yahoo!!!  Yesterday, I discovered my first white hair.  And I cheered and showed everyone.

I am thrilled.  I can’t believe it took this long.  I know other people are thinking I am crazy, but I think white hair is cool!

Fabio and my sister, who are both younger than me have several whites, so I’ve been somewhat [...]

everyday matters in 2009

I think I’ve discovered that I’m my own worst enemy. I’m far too scatter-brained and unfocused in my artistic efforts, to accomplish those things which I’d like to accomplish with my art the most.
I have come to realize that I need some very specific and attainable tasks/goals and schedules, in order to keep me [...]
