Long time no post

I know, I know it's been a long time. But in my defense it is summertime and I just haven't had much time to visit my studio let alone post here. But I will try to do better, I pinky promise! :)

Another thing I haven't done in a LONG time, several years in fact, is figure drawing. I've always loved figure drawing, and I think I was pretty good at it. But without a live model it can be very difficult to do. But I decided that was no excuse, I finally broke out my sketch pad.


Like I said I went years without drawing so I was a little nervous that I may have lost my touch but I think I did ok. Most importantly if felt awesome to be drawing again! I think I will look into taking a figure drawing class soon!

Valentine's Day Past

With Valentine's Day quickly approaching, I thought I would share a Valentine's Day memory.

Before hubby and I were married, early in our relationship I created this drawing as a Valentine's gift for him. It's a detailed graphite drawing measuring approximately 11" x 17". I chose to feature Native American Indians as a tribute to Jeff's Grandfather, one of the most important men in his life. We have it framed and hanging in the guest bedroom. I think it's one of our most favorite pieces I've ever done. I should probably be thinking about what I will be giving hubby for v-day this year to try and top that! LOL
