A new sketch


This is my daughter's wooden hand, that doesn't sound right! LOL! She doesn't have wooden hands or even one, she draws people and got this mannequin hand. She's decided she no longer needs it so I've taken off with it and will probably alter it some how... Anyway, I had a chance to do this while working one day, although I haven't had much chance to sketch, it's been really busy. I just got some sketches scanned and cropped so will try to post some more often.
Thanks for stopping by and have an awesome day!!!

I like this one...


I really like this pen sketch. It was a really fast sketch of my hand and the Zentangle took longer than the hand sketch. I did this while I was working. I had to put my hand down several times due to phone calls coming in, but I think it turned out pretty good for how fast I did it.
Thanks for stopping by and have an awesome day!

I'm baaack!


I've missed you!!!! I've been on a quilting and fabric kick for awhile but now that I'm back to working more I have some time to sketch more between calls. And of course it's that time of the year, the holidays are over and I am ready for spring!!!! Not that spring is coming anytime soon - today we're supposed to drop down into the 20s with a possibility of 1" of snow. We haven't had any big snows yet, they keep going further north to Denver.
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year!
Thanks so much for stopping by and have an awesome day!

New watercolor sketch


I've gotten out of practice sketching, trying to do better at that... I did this pear study last night. Just a quick study, although I can see the pears need shading, they look flat. I've been working on my other art, collage, quilting etc and have not been keeping up on my sketching. It's hard to do it all!

Thanks for stopping by, have an awesome weekend!

Tree trimming sketch


I did this sketch awhile back, in September. I had to go out and trim some of the trees and thought I'd take a break and do a quick sketch. My neighbor thought that was a little odd but oh well! I need to get back into sketching, I've gotten away from it a bit.
I'm still doing art, if you'd like to see what else I do check out my other blog:
Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

Hubby's hand surgery
























Keep in mind, I'm not good at drawing people... I was so glad I took my sketchbook with us the day hubby went in for surgery on his hand. It was outpatient and wasn't supposed to take that long but we ended up being there almost all day. I did this spread, and another 3-4 while we were there. If I hadn't had my sketchbook I would have been bored to death!!!
Anyway, his surgery went well and he's almost healed up...

I've been doing art, honest...


My bad!!! I have been doing art, just not a lot of posting... I haven't been doing as much but I am still sketching, honest! I've been working and studying for work, and quilting... Anyway, I'm back!
I am thinking about merging this blog with my other one, it takes a lot of time to keep up two blogs... I'll let you know if I do. I have several sketches to scan but wanted to get something on my blog, I think this is the longest I've gone without blogging! I feel so guilty!
Anyway, sorry that it's been so long and thanks for coming by, have an awesome day!
