Fall Evening -Guest Heart Thursday

This was a Prismacolor drawing I made as a Christmas gift for my lovely niece Georgia.  She is such a dear girl.  The kindness and sweetness of the girl in the drawing are echoes of what I see in Georgia.

Have a lovely day--and Happy New Year!

I'm adding this picture to Guest Heart Thursday--you can see hearts in the leaves.  I still haven't counted how many there are...

Shy Fae -Guest Heart Thursday

This was my Christmas gift to Sissy.  I was thinking about her as I drew this cutie.  I remember Clytie when she was a child.  She was a wonderful sister (still is).  She has always had the gift of making people laugh.  In some ways, I am just a pale copy of her vibrant personality.  I have always admired her, and am endlessly inspired by her love, kindness and creativity.

This year for Christmas, I did something I rarely do--I gave my family the originals of the drawings.  Normally I make numbered prints from the originals.  But this Christmas was special.  Hope your Christmas was filled with happiness and laughter.

Happy Guest Heart Thursday dear Friends.

Joyful Tears -Guest Heart Thursday

I was doodling in my sketchbook and who should pop from my pencil, but my youngest sister.  She is a beautiful young woman...of course I've hidden hearts in this drawing.

Sky Ship

I have posted this piece before, but this morning something about this magical vessel caught my eye.  I remembered the moment I saw the original cloud.  My darling husband and I were off to get some groceries.  I hopped out of the van to find my husband rounding the end of the vehicle.

"Look!" he cried, pointing toward the Western sky.  "It's a ship!"

I gasped.  Indeed--it was a ship.

Above you see the cloud as we first saw it.  As you can see--it really was a ship--and I was inspired.

Have a lovely day!

Blessed Among Women -Guest Heart Thursday

A bit of a doodle from my sketchbook.  Of course I have hidden several hearts in this graphite drawing.

Captain's Dreams

Here is a colored pencil drawing I drew for a sea captain I know.  I did a graphite version nearly two years ago.  The Captain and his crew fish for crab off the Oregon Coast.  He and his dear lady are very precious to our hearts.  They are getting this piece for Christmas!  Shipping it off today.

Have a lovely week!
