" THE BUBBLE "

                                                      11 x  14    Pen , Ink & Watercolor

Colette my grand-niece was chasing soap bubbles one day and I was able to capture a few pictures from the moment. I did this piece before Christmas but I had to wait until they got back home and opened the present to post it.
She is such a sweet little girl with magnificent red hair which I will have to paint one day also.

" COME UNTO ME "

8 x 11 Pen & Ink

This piece was done as a fundraiser for a recovery facility called "Set Free"

Families would stay there until able to be on their own. I decided to draw a couple of the children  watching the Koi fish in a little pond they have.

One of the things I like to do is add color but only sparingly to add a focus impact to the picture.

But I wasn't sure which way I wanted to go. So I decided to make copies of the drawing on watercolor paper and try a few different ways.

I decided to have the one with the pond in color framed for the event.

" CHEZ MARIE "

8  x  11 Pen, Ink & Watercolor

SOLD

" Chez Marie " is a small cafe in Paris very close to Montmartre. I thought I would post this drawing I just finished for CHRisTMAS.

First the place is red and second it is called Chez Marie and I thought it could be the new version for the stable where christ was born,
" At Mary's place " 

After all he was put in a trough and that's where you put the food you give to the animals, since he is feeding us still I thought it a perfect correlation.

BLESSINGS and MERRY CHRISTMAS to All

BTW   This piece will be features on my general art blog also

" MONtmARTre "

                                                     8  x  11          Pen & Ink

This is from my vacation with my daughter to Paris. I was showing her where her grandmother lived ! The only thing I can say is I hope everyone can have the opportunity to go there at least ounce in your life. We went in the off season and the advantage for me is that I could see the architecture of each building since there were no leaves on the trees, like in this drawing I could see the Sacre Coeur  in the distance. Otherwise it would be obscured by the leaves !

" 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

" The Wedding Bouquet "

                                                         7  x  7  Pen, Ink and Watercolor

Well my daughter is getting married next year and I believe after looking at all those magazines and going to Bridal Bazaar is getting me in the mood to draw some of the beautiful arrangements I have been seeing.
Practice makes perfect !!!
