That\’s my working title anyway. I saw/received/ had the idea for this drawing last week and sketched it out in the margin of some notes I was taking. I originally saw a bat in the central spot where the face is now. An upside down bat, like a gargoyle – I was thinking Gothic Cathedral, …
I love prismacolor faces!
I think she\’s here. Have another layer of white pencil to do- that\’s it for her face, I think. It for now anyway. Excited for background- purples, fuschias, lime greens… Have these gorgeous tapestry scarves- I photographed them in the airport in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. So some inspiration for the foliage on black background.

My finished work! I have a great deal of my work hanging at Le Petit Marche. We had a little celebratory party on Saturday -(thank you to everyone that stopped by!) Sarah Landon sang for us with her wonderful, lilting voice- it was a fabulous evening! And A BIG SIGH OF RELIEF – I have …

zinnia-almost done
This is today\’s work-almost done. I had always intended for her dress to be pink….but after all my tangerine tango, well, orange it is. I like it. This is a photo from my phone – not the best, but what I have with me. Made some tea and am about ready to call it a …
today\’s portrait in the works
I love zinnias. And portraits. I have three or four pieces that I\’m working on right now. I used to stick to one piece from start to finish, in fear of the dreaded \’Why don\’t you ever finish what you start?\” My husband, who is the reason everything in our lives runs so smoothly, has never actually …
