Little Owl -Guest Heart Thursday


I am having so much fun with an incredibly simple medium--grey paper, white and black Prismacolor pencils!  This newest drawing is in honor of the wee owl who came to visit our family years ago.  My youngest brother, who was around four at the time, discovered the owl.  My memory is of all of us trouping into the kitchen behind Mom to find the tiny owl perched on the corner cupboard door.  Dad mounted a wooden owl above the corner cupboard to commemorate the little fellow's visit. It is still there.

Of course, I have hidden a heart, or two in this picture!  Have a lovely day and Happy Guest Heart Thursday!

Vintage Beauty -Guest Heart Thursday


My children gave me some Strathmore gray toned sketch paper with Prismacolor black and white pencils.  This is my first attempt drawing within this medium.  My inspiration was an old postcard I love.  Of course I've hidden hearts in this drawing.

Have a beautiful day and Happy Guest Heart Thursday.

Maiden in the Woods -Guest Heart Thursday


Recently I did a photoshoot with some dear friends.  This doodle is of one of those amazing photos.  I love the leather belt Emily wore, the sword in her hand, the horn hanging at her side.  This picture was a pleasure to draw.  Later I will ink it in, then add color with either watercolor or colored pencil.



Above you see my reference photo.  Here are Emily and Melissa.  I love these two young ladies--the camera loves them!  They are SO sweet to pose for me.  

Of course, there are hearts hidden throughout the drawing.  Have a lovely day, and Happy Guest Heart Thursday!

Laughter and Light


I did a photoshoot last week with three of my favorite people.  They are so amazing.  Not only lovely to look at, but beautiful inside.  I adore this photo--and couldn't resist playing with it in photoshop.

Have a gorgeous day--don't forget to spread laughter and joy to everyone you meet!

Sheepie Heart -Guest Heart Thursday


I doodled this years ago, inspired by a raindrop on the van window.  Of course, this little fellow's behind is in the perfect shape of a heart.  The kids and I laughed and laughed over this one.  There are lots of lovely memories associated with my doodles of long ago.

Her Blue Feathered Friend -Guest Heart Thursday

Here she is--the small fairy who often frequents my back yard.  This little one charms my eyes and delights my  heart.  As does her very funny, obnoxious friend Leonard the Blue Jay.  Of course, I have hidden hearts in the flowers.

Have a lovely weekend and Happy Guest Heart Thursday!
