My mothers featherweight sewing machine

I learned how to see on his machine and made my clothes all during high school years on it. 

So happy I had a chance to draw I this week. 

Trillium is now in full bloom

Wow! It took an age for this single trillium to flower! The red ones are almost done so I'm happy that this bloom finally blossomed!!

Still working on creating portraits on Sktchy.  Here are two:

Meet Donna.

Postcard art swap

Working on art cards for a swap and made this up using the inspirational idea from Tracey Fletcher King and her art!! I wasn't sure I was going to be able to pull this one off without starting over again (ugh!!!) but I am calling it done! I hope the recipient likes it.

Used ink and watercolour on the collaged book page drawing of the tea cup. Then ink, marker and acrylic paint fir the background.

What s freezing cold day here in central Ontario!  I had to break out the Keen socks to keep my feet warm. There were even some snow flurry action this afternoon! 

Face-a-day project for Sketchbook Skool

I have been drawing a face a day but not posting so .... Here they are so far...

This one was in my queue over at Sktchy

This next one is a fellow klassmate at Sketchbook Skool.  She made this face specifically for the klass this week! 

This one is also a fellow student but the photo is from the Sktchy app. 

I did this one this morning to satisfy two groups, the Sketchbook Skool homework for Nelleke Verhoeff of Red Cheeks Factory and the Every Day in May art group! 

Pine Cone

I found s pine cone on my walk yesterday so I decided to draw it on an unloved book page. Then I slapped some paint and other stuff and stuck it down. Not happy really but I'm moving on, the next page is calling out to be filled. 

Drink and Draw

We were in the big city to be with family. We had s chance to stop by this restaurant for s beverage of two.  My hubby had oysters while I drew and painted the draft beer taps. My version of drink and draw.

Mothers Day Tulip

My grand-daughter gave me a tulip for Mothers Day! It was fresh picked from the backyard! Sweet! It makes me smile!
