Dog sketches at school

Hello and happy Tuesday!

We had state testing a couple of weeks ago and the teachers gave the kids some free time. A bunch of them were drawing and asked if I could draw them some pictures of dogs.

The kids were all very happy.

Some sketches...

Hello and happy Monday!

I thought I'd share some sketches I did last week.  Some  of the kids at school were talking about drawing and asked me if I liked to draw.  Of course I said I like to doodle now and then.  I had a couple requests...Now I have a list a mile long from the kids!  I'll accommodate when I can.

Money sketch

I don't have a card to share but I do have an old sketch. 

As much as I LOVED all of my art classes I've taken I've never 

really cared for painting or sculpting.  My one true love was always

sketching.  Put a simple #2 in my hand and give me something to draw

and I was in my glory.  One of my favorite things to do was to dump out my

purse and draw whatever struck me in the moment. 
I guess on this day it was my money.

Here's a close up of the $1 bill.

Sorry for the absense

I know I haven't posted anything new in a few days.  It's not that I haven't been busy but I just can't show you what I've been up to yet.  I hope you won't mind looking at what I used to do WAY back when I was in high school.  I don't sketch like this anymore but I do occasionally draw with my daughter.  When we moved two years ago I ditched my portfolio.  I never looked at my artwork and it was just taking up space.  I did keep my sketchbook though.  One day in study hall I sat down with a newspaper and did my best to copy it word for word.  I'll try to be back tomorrow with a new card since I know that's why you're here.  It's a cutie that I made for my niece.

Hockey drawings

In honor of the Olympic hockey game tonight I thought I'd share a few drawings I did back in high school.  These guys were all on the local AHL team that we had here at the time. I had season tickets my junior and senior year and used to love going to the games.  I think at least one of them went on to the NHL at least for a while.  I'm not sure. 

Sketch Book drawing #2

I've been swamped lately (so what's new) and haven't had much time to craft.  I do have two cards ready to go but they are going to be enteries in a contest so I don't want to post them until I've submitted them.  So... you get another sketch from my high school days.  It's better than nothing.  This is a drawing I did of Louis Armstrong.  I just love his voice! 

Sketch Book drawing from high school

I'm sorry I don't have a card for you today.  I do have something artistic though. My kids are both really into sketching right now. (they're 9 1/2 & 11) They asked to see my old sketch book and I had a lot of fun going through it with them.  I thought I'd share some drawings from them on occasion.  They will all be from my junior year of high school in 1987-88.  I used to prefer sketching with a very sharp regular old #2 pencil.  They've become slightly smudged in the last 20 years but have held up fairly well.
