" NOT THE ONE "






                                                         8  x  11 Pen & Ink

Well all I can say is YIKES  this is not easy ! My daughter is trying to find a dress for her wedding and after a while of seeing ruffles, sheer, lace, buttons and little flowers decoration it almost feel as if I want to create one.
I had fun drawing these. But I did not draw the one that looked so perfect on her you never know who might be seeing this !!!! ...LOL  : D

" MEGAN's WASH "



8  x 11  Pen, Ink & a little Watercolor

In Vermont I always see so many things I want to draw.
This is at my nephew Gregory's house. Their clothes line. Megan his wife is so sweet and hospitable and their children are both fabulous. It's such a pleasure to go visit every one there. The time goes by too fast unfortunately.
She share with me that she could very well put all those clothes in the dryer but she forces herself to put them on the line outside when she can. Why you ask ?
Her life is very busy so it gives her a chance to slow down, it is a chore you cannot do fast. I thought it was such a wise action I had to make a sketch of it !

" le bouquet "


8  x  8   Pen & Ink

Every-time I visit my brother and his wife I can't help it I have to make a bouquet of the beautiful flowers they grow on their property. Unfortunately it will be the last time there for they sold their place and are looking forward to creating a new one.
Hurray for change
Do not look to the past but look to the future with eagerness. For the past cannot be improved upon but the future has all the hope needed for you.

" The Watering Can "


                                                   7  x  7  Pen & Ink

I love watering cans, this one is an old one. I have quite a few around. This one is outside my door as I walk out. I've been wanting to sketch it because of the fence, ivy and the flower pot it creates great shadows. Which is what I love.
