Kernersville Gallery Hop!

I am SO looking forward to this weekend! My small town in North Carolina is having not one, but TWO art shows on Saturday which make for a fantastic afternoon/evening out! First up is my good friend Margaret Harrison's solo show at Southwinds Gallery! You will not want to miss seeing her beautiful watercolors in … Continue reading Kernersville Gallery Hop!

This Happened…

This sketch of last night's momentous occasion does not capture all that is swirling around in my heart. It does not convey our son's height correctly. Perhaps I'll always view him as a boy, instead of the man he is becoming. The sketch does not depict the entire concert choir at Glenn High School where … Continue reading This Happened…

Welcome to my New Home!

Change has been afoot! Lots of mulling, weighing, flip-flopping, sighing, and finally Hip*Hip*Hooraying!! It's all here, under one roof! My website, one blog (merging both Drawn2Life and Knitterly Arts), as well as all the other good stuff offered on those blogs. I hope you enjoy taking a little tour across the red bar up there!

Beaufort Treasures

I've been at my drawing table today reliving wonderful memories from a trip to Beaufort with a friend last week. Though I had only taken my Prismacolor Fine Liner Pens, the memories came leaping to life as I added color just now. I am once again reminded how grateful I am for this sketchbook and for … Continue reading Beaufort Treasures

Let Go

I woke up this morning with these words in my head: "Sometimes we have to let go of the original plan in order to allow the newer, cooler design to come out."

Eclection Days

I've begun toting a big Aquabee sketchbook to the Friday morning drawing session at Eclection here in our town. This sketchbook measures a whopping 14" x 17", and the above is the first in this book.  I've loved this sketchbook in its 9"x9" format so I knew I'd love the big size.

Draw Together!

I am an incredibly blessed artist! Truly I feel this is so not only because I get to spend each day drawing, painting, and making all sorts of things with yarn, but also because I have wonderful friends with whom I get to share these loves. As a companion to a recent post on my … Continue reading Draw Together!

Knit Together! (and Crochet!)

I'm not sure how to put into words the joy that I have with these dear friends. I wish I could write more eloquently about them to make up for the lack in my photography skills. These four women occupy a very dear spot in my heart. That spot is all soft and squishy, colorful … Continue reading Knit Together! (and Crochet!)
