soon to be drawing

I'm planning on starting a colored pencil drawing of this image of Chance this week, so I thought I would post this picture...Kris will want to add this picture to her collection.

cherry-almond

I keep a bottle of this lotion by my bed for my hands at night...even Chance likes the smell.

an addiction of mine

Yes, I'm addicted to Dr. Peppers! I'm trying to cut back, but it's hard. Most people after they exercise want water...not me...give me a Dr. Pepper! lol I sketched an unopened room temperature can, so I wouldn't be tempted to open it.

kashi

This was the first time I have tried anything from kashi foods...I ate it all except the milk...I hate milk! It doesn't come with the banana and blueberries...I added those to it.

Not a good scan...I need to stop sketching and writing so close to the books binding.

grandparents

These are my mother's parents...this picture was taken Christmas 1955 in Blooming Grove, Texas...her name was Gladys Bell Ewing and she was 38 years old when this picture was taken...his name is Silvester Leroy Ewing...he went by Leroy...he was 42 years old. My grandmother out lived him by 23 years...she just passed away in June.

This was a little more emotional for me than I thought it would be...I guess it's because my grandmother just passed away a few months ago. I've decided to post a weekly photo from our family tree that Britt, Kris and I put together about 7 years ago...my youngest sister had requested copies of the photos from our family tree when I couldn't use my right hand and I just haven't gotten around to it, so Peggy you can take them from my blog...if you like.

profile sketches

I decided to work on profiles, so I took pictures of Britt & Kris this weekend when they were home. I'm not happy with either one of these, but I'm posting them anyways...it's my first time to sketch profiles, so I feel like I can only improve with practice...that's the one thing about drawing...you have to practice, practice, practice. If your wondering why I crosshatched around Kris's face, it's because I forgot to scan it before I went to Panera Bread and I doodled on the other side and I wanted to show a clean facial line. Kris is going to take one look at this and think that she needs a "nose job"...she already thinks that! Her nose is not that pointy and besides it's only a sketch.

a moment with chance

I'm posting this picture so Kris can snatch it off my blog...a Chance moment...before they went back to the bubble...inside joke! lol
