Peony Profusion



So I went ahead and made a drawing whilst having my tea. A happy solution. My goal was to keep it simple. Kind of difficult with this subject matter. What was I thinking?

If you stand REALLY far back, they begin to look like peonies.

I Am Thinking About It

I truly am. I miss being a blogger and the excitement of 'the post' up there. . . out there for all the world to see.
Maybe all I needed was to take a break and come back refreshed.
I just might wait til I finish my tea. Then I will draw, paint, publish.
Or have another cup.
We'll see.

Black Bear, Black Bear What Do You See?

Not In My Backyard. In someone else's, thank goodness. And not here in N.Y but in Vermont. Drawing done from a photo sent by my daughter. They estimate she is about four hundred pounds. She obviously went to a lot of July Fourth barbecues so she has enough fat on her to last until blueberry season. I hope she doesn't show up on one of my hiking trails. Though it would be interesting to draw her from life I just don't think I am up to the challenge.

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.
