painted sketches 10-11/21: "Critique" & "Tenting"

My 4yo came with me to critique this month! =) And we also set up our monstrous tent in the family room to air out for our trip to Maine.

painted sketches 5/21

Venturing into technicolor...This took me a lot longer than 15 minutes (more like 2:15) - gotta loosen up next time!

I hope working ahead is OK (did this yesterday, but nothing today)! =)

painting 2/21

Not sure what to call this one. Just some random pretend play going on here. =)

painting 1/21: "Piano Baby"

OK, after a few warmups that didn't look so hot, here's one that came out pretty decent. So it took more like 1.5 hours...

21/21

A scene I hope to see this summer when we all go camping on Campobello Island, NB.

AND this is sketch #21 which means...I actually finished something I started!! Thanks so much for cheering me on guys, especially Ann Marie!!

20/21: Huggy Bear ("Craving")

A pencil sketch for a change. Who wouldn't crave a hug?

18-19/21: daily sketches...

Shopping for a birthday present...


All partied out...

Catching up on posting... takes a darn 15 extra minutes to get the things scanned and cleaned up ya know!!

MFN 15 Year logo?

First draft of the anniversary logo. MFN's tagline is "A Friend to Know...A Place to Grow" so I may add that on somewhere.

17/21: "Climbing!?!"

My younger daughter started up the stairs and luckily I noticed before she went too far. She got all the way to the top pretty easily but hasn't quite figured out how to get down yet, just like a cat up a tree.

As you can probably tell I'm shamelessly using the 21 day challenge as my chance to journal my kids because other than the times when the camera comes out there's practically no record of their daily activities and even fewer words written about them. As I know now from the first one if I don't do this then it will all fly out of "the transom of my mind." =O
