Springtime!

More Ocean Treasures

Sandollars and Starfish

I watched two travel shows on England today while I was exercising. It made the shows more interesting and fun to watch because you are over there right now. Your mom was telling me that you are going to Italy and a couple other countries. I am so jealous!!! 

MIinneapolis Institute of Art's - Foot in the Door 4

Hi Becca,

I submitted my young tiger drawing. I reworked it and forgot to scan in the new painting. But here's a post of the original one I drew.

Coffee and Tea Cups

Fried Eggs for Breakfast

Hi Becca - I am taking our art down to the cities tomorrow. The weather isn't the greatest today. Your mom has to work and won't be able to go with, but David is going with me - he also has a visit to do. I am also taking work down for Kim and Laural.

Here is David's and my breakfast - had to draw it from memory since we had already eaten when I decided to draw this morning.

Fireplace

This is our new fireplace. I love it! We spend all our at-home time by it.

I am going to start working on summer drawings and paintings so I can get them into galleries.

Carabou Coffee

I was at Carabou Coffee today and did this quick sketch on a napkin. Why don't I bring along my sketch journal???

One of my goals is to illustrate children's books too! I love seeing your photos too! Thanks for sharing them.

Bananas

Hi Becca. Your mom brought over your painting of Michelle last night. I will be taking it to Minneapolis Institute of Arts on Friday. I still don't know what I'm going to take up there yet. I may redo (paint) one of my animal drawings - possibly the zebra (?)

I love the gesture of your futbol guy!

I drew these bananas this morning and am eating one for lunch.

Butterfly

It's snowing today, so I decided to do a butterfly. It's supposed to get up into the teens this week. My aunt was here this past week and she is so looking forward to spring - it got me in the mood too.

Looking Forward to Spring - Coneflower

Hi Becca! Loving seeing all your drawings! My Aunt Esther is staying with us this week so I am busy running, etc., so I won't have as many drawings on this week but will catch up next week. I put a link to your other blog Enormous Vinny on the side panel. I have been enjoying checking that one out every day too.

Things Around the House

Baking Pies w/ Bex

Zinnia Flower

Here is a picture of a drawing that I am in the process of painting for Melvin's Art and Wine Event this weekend. We are having fog with frosty trees here today - love it - it's so pretty! I have to run to St. Cloud to get mat board today and hope to take some pictures.

Peacock

I was asked to paint a peacock watercolor, so I am drawing some of them before choosing which one to paint. I am going to try to get one painted for this weekend's show. Here is my first peacock.

Becca, I love seeing your drawings - your mom said you have some photos of London - if you have time(!?) put some on here. I will take your painting to 'Foot in the Door 4' at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts the beginning of February. Will take pictures for you too.

Rooster

Hi Becca - I'm getting ready for Melvin's Art and Wine Event. Can't seem to stay on task very well.

Chickadees Out My Porch Window

Hi Becca! Hope you're loving London!!!

Peacock Drawing

Glasses

Espresso Coffee Drawing

Hey Becca, I'm finally biting the bullet and posting my first drawing. I have been drawing and drawing and with the pressure of putting it on a blog nothing is turning out! So, here goes! This drawing is in memory of our coffee house working days. David didn't think anyone would know what it was a drawing of... I told him that he just doesn't frequent coffee houses enough.
