Forgive the dreadful photos (especially this one)...I was drawing/painting in the wee hours of the morning (have no idea why I'm up so early these days:( ) and taking photos at that time is near impossible, but there it is. The blankets are out in full force around our house and in use! Perhaps for … Continue reading Blankets & A Process

My Delight: Portraits #18-19 & #20-21
It is my delight and honor to be asked to paint a portrait of someone's children. I can't really describe why...something to do with the privilege of trying to express the personality of the kids coupled with the love the parent has for them. It seems a tall order. One that excites and energizes me! … Continue reading My Delight: Portraits #18-19 & #20-21
Knitting Brown
To the yarn currently on my needles: I do not know why I chose you. I'm sorry to say it! Brown? Really? Brown yarn has never been something I gravitated to in the midst of luscious raspberry hanks, purpley-hued skeins, vibrant lime balls, sumptuously variegated twists of wool or cotton hanging in a glittering yarn … Continue reading Knitting Brown
Le Cycliste and Le Tour de Pig
Sharpie & Sketchbook went with me to Lexington, NC this past Saturday to cheer on my husband as he came in to the finish line of the Tour de Pig bike ride.

Weekend Drawcumentation
I had a very full but wonderful weekend! When it looks like there may be little time to breathe between the coming and going, my desire to draw kicks in full throttle. Maybe it's something to do with a need to slow down somewhere in the midst of it, or to have a touchstone to … Continue reading Weekend Drawcumentation
A Few of My Favorite Things…
Available in My Etsy Shoppe Favorite Thing #1: Nothing gets better than sitting IN MY FIELD painting. A few of weeks ago I got to spend an afternoon painting a couple of views of the freshly baled hay in Mr. Whicker's field. I keep calling it "my" field, and it really isn't. But I call … Continue reading A Few of My Favorite Things…
