Momentum can be pretty fun...but I guess it depends on your perspective...the person who had raked those leaves was not nearly so amused...
I did this using an autumn palette as a seed of faith that Fall will soon be here. I'm tiring of 90 degrees with 90% humidity …
(click image to see detail)Inspired by my trip to New Orleans last weekend, I decided to do a New Orleans-themed alphabet illustration, chock full of stuff from the Big Easy, A-Z. What a foolish idea!! This took FOREVER - but it was way fun to do. Consider this a tip of the hat to my Cajun roots as…
This is a bit of a tribute to my Mom and Dad, the most hospitable people I know. From my youngest years I have memories of people always at our home - visiting, eating, hanging out, living temporarily, crashing temporarily, whatever. My parents never had much, but they were incredibly generous with…
Well, this week's theme for Illustration Friday is "Moon" - I had every intention of doing a new illustration for this week, but I have not one but two prior IF submissions that are perfect for the theme and I just had to use them (plus it's been so long since I submitted for IF, I'm sure these are…
"Red" is such a rich topic, I was compelled to participate once again - this time with a new illustration rather than a recycled one. This poppy just "popped" into my head (sorry) and I just had to do it...plus, it's a nice little departure from my usual style, just for fun...
Well, it certainly seems like cheating to use a previous IF submission for this week's theme "Red", especially since it's been so long since I've participated, but actually, this is OK. I'm marking my full return to the world of blogging and weekly participation in Illustration Friday with this, th…
This week's theme for Illustration Friday is "Farm". Farm critters have always been some of my favorites to draw, and weren't they fun to color and cut and paste as a kid...? Though many of us may never have the opportunity to actually visit a farm, I wish for all of us to be able to savor a bit of…
The Drama QueenAll I needed was a walk-in closet, a couple of sheets for curtains, and some dress-up accessories and I was playing being in a play. I didn't do this too often, and ONLY for family (as I was way too shy to do this for strangers), but it was fun none the less …
Well, the song "Jungle Boogie" from Kool and the Gang was the first thing that popped into my head - and so here you have jungle critters dancing as I imagine they do when no one is looking....
Portrait of Contentment
"Spring flowers are in blossom all over. The whole world's a choir - and singing! Spring warblers are filling the forest with sweet arpeggios."This week's Illustration Friday topic "Spring" was rich with possibilities. I however, was not r…
How many times have we believed that we can never change? How many times have we tried to rush the process? How many times have we not moved forward from fear? How many times have we chafed against the…
Tea for Every Season
I love the topic for Illustration Friday this week: Song. Although I am not much of a singer, I LOVE to sing and do so all day long - in the car, in the shower, in the grocery store along with the Musac (when I momentarily forget where I'm at). I love all kinds of music, but I especially like to si…
