I'm working on this for a Valentines card.  I only had enough time for a sketch for this weeks IF.  I'll update with color so check back to see the finished version :) Sorry to make this so short,  but I'll be back soon.  Thanks for stopping by!

Merry Christmas!

    I hope you all are having a great holiday week.  Myles says Happy Holidays to everyone so I thought it was fitting to post him here as I wish you all Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas! I hope to see you all in the new year :) 

Ces's Acorns

     I have met some of the most wonderful people since I started my blog.  I have so many gracious and supportive friends.  I just wanted to say thank you to each of you.  I feel so blessed to have met each and every one of you.  Ces is one of those dear friends whom I treasure and she has been generous enough to send me some of her beautiful work, so I wanted to reciprocate.  I painted this for her, because she loves acorns and draws them often.  Other friends have sent me work too and honestly I have been remiss.  I have not sent them work in return.  That is because I really don't think of anyone wanting a gift of my illustrations.  I was going to send Ces something that I had already done, but couldn't think of an image that I thought that she would want.
     So my dear friends, if you have sent me work in the past or even if you haven't, and you would like an illustration from me, please email me and I would be honored to send something to you.  I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy holiday season. You all are the best!

IF_Round

So, just some fun and playfulness. I was taking a little break on my projects and playing around in painter 12 and photoshop.  I rarely find time to post for Illustration Friday lately, so its nice when I can find time to do one.  Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments :)  Hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving. 

IF_Silent

Sorry my blog has been so "silent" lately.  I haven't posted anything for IF in eons.  And I am just getting it in at the very last minute.  I mean to post more often, I just don't seem to get to it though. For those of you who don't know, my grandson is blind.  He rides his big wheel around the house.  I am grateful that it is not completely silent or else I'd have been run over multiple times already.  The wheels make just enough sound on the tile for me to know he is coming so that I can get out of the way. But it's so great that he can ride it and rarely run into anything other than me.  He has the entire living area mapped out in his head and rides around quickly, leaning his body when he turns. It's really cute, unless he runs over my foot, which has happened on occasion.  This is another illustration from the ebook/app that I am working on.  Sorry to keep this short, but I am working, working, working.  So more about the project later... Thanks for stopping by. I really appreciate it! You all are the best :)

final version

Here's another peak at what I am working on.  It's turning out to be a really fun project.  Sorry that I have been so quiet. I am just working away after being sick for a couple of weeks. My grandson started pre-school full-time this year and he has set out to catch everything he can and then give it to me.  It's a gift I'd prefer not to get, but apparently my immune system really doesn't care what I want. ;)
Thank you for all of your kind comments. I really appreciate it. You all are really wonderful :)

What's on my desk...

So, I'm dusting the cobwebs off my poor lonely blog and posting a peek at what I'm currently working on.  I hope everyone is well. Sorry I've been so neglectful of my blog.  Just busy, busy, busy.  So, let me know what you think of my little guy.  He's a character for a book I'm currently working on.  Just some sketches for now, but I'll put some more polished images up soon.
