Portrait Exchange Update

My Very Own Not Safe but Good Lion

Every year (at least in theory) I go through all my digital photos from the past 12 months and put them on a cd for the archives, delete them from my hard drive to make room for more. I guess I should do this more often, but so far it has worked for me. In [...]

EDM #33 Draw an Eye

Making a little more progress on the Everyday Matters checklist – this is from week #33 – draw an eye. I decided to draw two. Pen and ink and acrylic inks. These are a bit too close together, but other than that, I think they look fairly realistic – I drew them from memory – [...]

Merry Christmas, Everyone!

Have a holly, jolly Christmas – it’s the best time of the year! This is the Christmas card we sent out this year – if you haven’t received one, check your mailbox – I was a little late with them! Or – maybe I didn’t send you one – I’m not very organized right now, [...]
