WIP

My husband came home from holidays with a present for me - a humongous easel - a bit more sturdy for my larger pics. Working on my next drawing - this is a cute guy I play bingo with - he's 91yrs old. Got a long ways to go on it yet... but it's coming along. 

Drawing #13

Finally done!
 
If I wanted this true to my mom, I'd put in a few more wrinkles, but I'm more so thinking about the design and the vulnerability of the two people.  Thinking about doing a series of large drawings like this - perhaps I'd call it "Fragile:  Handle with Care".


WIP

Trying to concentrate on my large drawing - the big ones are so time consuming. Got a little ways to go yet - plus some problem solving (left arm) - not sure if I'm happy everything yet. But anyhow - the base is there. I absolutely hate that shirt (to draw) haha. Hope to finish it this weekend because I have two others I really just have to get started. 


 

WIP (work in progress)

Have tons of things to do, but I decided to start a rather large drawing of my mother today instead.  Took this pic of her and her great grandson on the weekend, and I couldn't resist.


Adjudicated Show 2016



I was selected as one of the three finalists in the Adjudicated Show in Biggar.  My theme was my drawings from the Weekly Drawing series I did for 2015. 

This means I now have the opportunity to compete in the Provincial Adjudication next May.

The art work was hung in Biggar for the month of May.  Following that, Carol Wylie - the adjudicator - gave a portrait workshop at the gallery.

Drawing #12


I was at a portrait workshop last weekend, and this gentleman (and the young lady in Drawing #11) posed for us.  It was fun to draw from a model, but since I had their photos on my phone, I decided to do proper finished drawings when I got home.
