Lazy Days of Summer...

...which goes to say that I am being very lazy. I have been drawing, but the last week or so I have been busy making baby clothes for friends and relatives who all chose to have babies in the near future lol. I think I was up to 11 people due between now and next February....
Here is a selection from my sketchbook (the one I hate) from the last month. I have been experimenting with my brush pen...


In the car...


Father's Day- picking beans.

Summer's joy- fresh sungold tomatoes!


A couple of fungi ;)


Creek in the park... drawn as I waited.

same park, while we waited to be picked up :)

Handsome box turtle the kids found in the garden.

You can read more about each picture on my Flickr pages :)

  1. They are all lovely, but I think I am most impressed by the car. I'm so bad at drawing cars!

    The turtle is gorgeous!

    Peace and Laughter,

  2. Thanks Cristina :) I was really pleased with the way the car turned out too... sometimes we have to look at it differently to capture it well- this was drawn in pieces really, like a puzzle. And it worked!! (Especially nice since I drew it in pen lol)
    The turtle was just as striking in person too- that orange was firey! he would NOT sit still though!
