Cactus Monday - Cactus Boot

If I were to design a boot for me this is what it would probably look like; a cactus on the side among a zentangle pattern and a daisy on the heel.

Yes, I had fun making this one.

Leave your Cactus Monday url with Mr Linky so we can all visit you.

Church Sketch - Day For Tan

I don't normally focus on what people are wearing until I start sketching them.
This lady was dressed in tan from collar to cuff.  Kind of boring.


Have a great Sunday everyone!

He Joined Me in Sketching!

We went to "Macaroni Grill" for lunch and I saw these beautiful bottles high up in the window with the sun shining through.

So I started to sketch them.

When I looked back at DH he was sketching on the paper tablecloth with crayons.  This restaurant has crayons on the table for the kids or whomever wants to use them.

He was sketching the wall but added his own drinks to it.

Well, that was an interesting lunch!  Maybe I'll have to carry another sketchbook with me.  lol

I had to redo this whole post as I unintentionally deleted the photos from Flickr and you couldn't see them.  Still learning about my Macbook.

Illustration Friday - 'Blur'

The theme word at Illustration Friday this week is 'Blur'.

Time is almost a 'blur' between Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas!

Happy Illustration Friday everyone.

Happy Birthday Cari!

Today is my baby's birthday.

Where has the time gone?!

She is a wonderful daughter 

and 

a wonderful mother!

These coneflowers are from her garden
and the blue flowers are on her card.


I am so lucky to have two such wonderful daughters. 


Love you!

For these two girls and their daughters I am truly thankful!

Animal Wednesday - Fish and Bug

I have been so busy learning about my new Mac that I nearly forgot about Animal Wednesday.  I happened (read, I frantically looked) to find these 'twinchies' (2 inch ATCs) that I did in September and they were close enough to be considered animals.

Phew, so glad i found them.

No competition to Mim, our resident fish expert.

I have not been doing much art except on the run so I need to get back to it!

Happy Animal Wednesday everyone.

Blooming Tuesday - Autumn

When we had breakfast on Sunday, the restaurant, Jerry Bob's, had this little pumpkin on the table.  Took me about 2 minutes to quick sketch it and then paint it at home.

While it was all artificial I tried to make it look real.

Happy Blooming Tuesday everyone!

Cactus Monday - LandscapeI

I came across this painting that I did in 2006 and it is probably one of the first and rare landscapes that I have done.   It is amazing how much more I like it three years later.

Happy Cactus Monday everyone!

Church Sketch - Looong Sermon

Somedays the sermon is very looong.

Have a great Sunday everyone.

Happy Zentangle Halloween

And even more Halloween sketches only in the zentangle form except the T-Bear.

Happy Halloween everyone!
