Creatures Real & Imagined

Here's a sketchbook painting I did this weekend, but it's in Mary's Mole from Round 1! I am still waiting for some Round 2 books from Canada, which I expect to arrive any day now. I will happily post the day they hit my mailbox. Meanwhile, Mary had sent me her Round 1 Mole, which still had a few blank pages in the rear :-)

This rooster kept me occupied over the weekend. I was inspired by an art show I saw, blogged here. Steve, I hope it is alright that I mentioned & linked you in my blog post. The theme of the show was especially right down your alley, though I think many of us may have enjoyed it.

Finally, I finished working in Ash's book! Spring is a busy busy time at work/school, so it was good to find some time here and there to add to these drawings (sometimes working in the book while my students were working on their art, which doesn't always work out!). I based my animal drawings on some photos I took where I live in Leesburg, Virginia. I used watered down acrylics and Pigma Micron pens for those four. The bottom one was a fun little collab done with Ellen. Anyhow, this sucker goes in the mail tomorrow to you Mary. So sorry for the delay!
