black lines in the garden . . .

I've been starting most days in June with a line drawing in the garden.

April . . . sketching & watercolouring . . .

Trying to will April to green it up over here:).

Island Watercolours & Sketches . . .

I've been back home from vacation for a week and a half... I'm still not used to the idea. I don't know if I will ever get used to the reality of cold and snow.... but, at least I had my two weeks in the sun on the happy island:). It's been creative two weeks. I've sketched and watercoloured and took some pictures (see above:)...

moleskine adventures . . .

Marvellous way to relax and procrastinate:)...

hanging out . . .

We've all been under the weather over here for most of the last and some of this week. It's no fun... but we got to hang out:). Anais did some watercoloring in my studio. I did some sketching (as a break from clicking). 

wheat, straw & color pencils . . .

It's been a long while since I've used a color pencils... a very long while... but, here I am. Like riding a bicycle (also, haven't done that in a while:).

Color pencils - Reeves (a gift from my friend Rigel).

Paper - 100% Wheat & Straw from Ecojot (Thanks Carolyn!:)

still green . . .

I took a little break from real life. Flew to Toronto for a few days. Spent time with a couple of dear friends (Rigel Phillips & Carolyn Gavin (ecojot)). Had a great time! Caught my breath and had a few peaceful thoughts. It was greener in Toronto. Their winter comes a month later and leaves a month earlier. I'm green with envy:) Sketched a bit over that green.

Quiet September . . .

September came and brought the cool air and showers with it. The girls are back to school now. The house is quiet... working is going to get easier... now that I don't have to wear headphones all the time to drown the happy squeals and sibling squabbles.

Above: Anais getting her first piano lesson from Mike... and a couple of sketches I did while enjoying the quiet:)

My plate is full... but a little sketching never hurt anyone:)
