Welcome October

 

I'm back. I've learned a lot this summer. Mostly about how keeping my ambitions to a minimum and protecting my "thinking time" keeps me sane and happy. That said, I don't have a lot of time to sketch. My solution: making a collage of drawings on a two page spread. I only do a little drawing when I have the time and then add as the week (or so) goes on.

Summertime and the living is easy

Now it really feels like summer is here. Yesterday began with the championship match of the French Open. Nadal v. Federer. (The best rivalry ever). And then strawberries at the farmers market. At least a third of the quart was eaten before we ever left the market, but with the remainder and some blueberries, I think I will make a "buckle". (I don't believe I've made a buckle before, but the picture above had me sold- I will substituted the strawberries for the cherries).  

What ushers in summer for you?

Musings on a cold March Morning

So it is a sleety, cold March morning and I am dreaming of summer. I'm not sure I love these little sketches, but it does reflect my earning for sun.


On another note, I have to mark this day. As I said it is sleeting and cold out. This morning I brought my three year old daughter to school and as we got out of the car I told her she should put up her hood. Not surprisingly she refused. She said it would mess up her "princess hair". As we walked the hundred or so feet from the car to the school she squealed with delight and mock concern with the rain on her hair. Her little arms were out and toes pointed as she pranced into school talking about her "princess hair". And so it begins.  


How is your March morning going?
