Sunrise and Moonrise

Same beach - sun and moon rising. God's creation is beautiful!

Precious Lydia

When feeling sad or blue, sketch a kitty cat or two (or hug one!) . My sweet Lydia. She moved several times, but I think I got the gist!

Sketches in Downtown Annapolis, Part 2

This was the last day of my summer sketching class. We sketched from the State House grounds. These were the trickiest subjects yet. I would never have tried sketching busy streets on my own. I really had fun and learned a lot!

A Puddy-Foot and a Face

Abby had her paw over her face, looking adorable, but moved when she saw the camera, the punk! But her foot looked so cute and big, I had to post it.

Sketches in Downtown Annapolis

Sketching in downtown Annapolis at Ego Alley. My first sketches of architectural elements. I didn't think I'd like it, but I did! This is Middleton's Tavern.

And here's my shot at Storm Brothers and other shops. Our instructor gave us about 10 minutes to do these.

Cats again...

Marblehead Sketches - various views

There are so many beautiful spots to paint from in Marblehead, MA. All of these are one-hour or less sketches in watercolor, 4 X 6 inches.

Abigail washing her face. Lydia with her mile-long body. (They must have changed how blogger works. I can't figure out the formatting now!)

Just being cute...

The girls are almost full-grown.

Lydia appears to be the more intellectual one.

...while Abigail is the little charmer. Watch out for her! She's nicknamed "Sassafras" as she's the sassy one!

Happy New Year Kitties

Lydia likes to sit like this - never had a cat that did this!
