Magestic Polar Bear

The first of many sketches from 'Sketchy Friends' Day at the Central Park Zoo.

I took some photo references and worked a little from them and a little from my actual
drawings.

This is the female and she is absolutely beautiful. We are so lucky to have her here. She cools me off just by looking at her.

Chocolate

It doesn't matter what time of year it is. 'Chocolate something' is what is in my cup

By The Sea

It's been such a long time between blogs but I HAVE been busy. This spring at a watermedia class with Carmen Lund I worked out some of the kinks in my technique and actually came up with some work I am proud of. This little guy is enjoying the water as much as I always enjoy being with him. It is watercolor on paper.
I have been re-inspired after spending another day with my sketchy friends for a day at the Central Park Zoo. Sketching animals is not too easy but I did fairly well with the sleeping bear and the preening penguins. Those works will be up on my site soon.

Spring Is Here

A quick little sketch to

acknowledge Spring. Lots more work to post later when there is more time

Nonie

So then Nonie asked for one.

The Real Annie

The real Annie, Day 1

A Hat For Annie

This is the hat I made for Annie
Make a loop. Six single crochet in center loop. Single crochet around increasing by six every row until you have the circumference you need. Then shell stitch your way down as far as you want. Switch back to single crochet for about an inch for the rolled brim. Crochet a flower and attach.
Watch out! You might get addicted!
