Might be time for a beer

I rarely drink anymore. Occasionally though a nice cold beer just hits the spot. I might have one of these tonight, my son is graduating from high school!!!! I am so proud of him I could just explode!!!!

You know it's funny, at the time you don't think graduation is that big of a deal but when you're a parent it takes on a whole new meaning!

More Twinchies

Here's another twinchie page - each square is 2". I didn't come up with the name, someone in the collage world did after everyone started doing inchies... These are fun to do although sometimes each little square takes as long as a full page spread... There are a couple of stamps up in the left corner that I picked up at a yard sale, they're all metal so I'm assuming they're very old. The Chiquita stickers in the bottom right corner are the actual thing, I'm not that good at drawing - yet. :D

8" x 10" Zentangle

Here's another large Zentangle that I recently did. These are a lot of fun to do when you're just not feeling very creative or can't think of anything to draw.

I'm trying to do better at posting daily or at least more often, we'll see how that goes...

Happy Memorial weekend! Hope you have a safe one!

Funky succulents

Like I said, I like all kinds of "different" houseplants. I love these two and lithops ~ living stones ~ although I don't have any lithops right now. I drew these while I was chomping at the bit to get my garden planted.

Pitcher plant sketch

I sketched this back in April. It's one of my "weird" plants. I love weird plants! I need to repot this or cut it off and start a new one...

Life has been busy! End of the year and one of our kids is graduating from high school this year! Woohoo!!!!!!!! So I need to get busy and clean the house, not one of my favorite things to do. It's so much more fun to just do art and ignore the housework... ah well. Who knows, maybe I'll sketch another vacuum! LOL!

If I don't post again before this weekend, have a safe and relaxing Memorial weekend!!!

The garden is planted!

This is a recent sketch I did of a fake hydrangea I have and my hand holding a paper. I just noticed how weird my hand looks...

I've finally planted all the seeds in my garden!!! I planted spaghetti squash, patty pan squash, zucchini, cucumbers, 2 watermelon seeds (they never seem to work for me), some leeks and lettuce. I have a really small garden so I just squeeze it all in...

Happy Mother's Day!

For all you mom's out there, Happy Mother's Day! Here's hoping you have a relaxing day and get to art all day!

Pieces of April sketch

This is a collage I drew one day while working, not a very busy day... Anyway, while I was drawing this up I thought of that song back in the 70s or 80s ~ Pieces of April ~ remember that? I'm not sure if it was by Three Dog Night or Chicago or maybe some other band. I'm going to have to go check my albums, yes I still have them and yes they still sound better than tapes or CDs.
