Animal Wednesday: Doggies in P-Town

The lovely Ms. Stella who was very generous with her kisses ;)

A sleepy old guy who appeared to be deaf because he ignored every sound I made to get him to look my way.

I think he's laughing inside!

An artist's companion

An artist's sleepy model :)



A lovely porch pooch

A chubby little beach bum :)

A very happy old girl and her ball

And big ol' Maddie who had a lot to say!

After TEN tries to upload photos, I now present a few of the furry faces in P-Town!

Happy Animal Wednesday!!

Ta-Da! Final Sketchbook Pages

Myopic

I thought I'd never finish, but here are the final nine sketches I did late last night and early this morning. I'm still having fun with the fast and loose style, but clearly a few of these were forced.

This dog is my favorite one I think out of this last bunch.

Sweet Dreams...

I love it when kitties cover their faces like this.

I'm too sexy for this page....

Fleeing the storm...

Dreaming of spring...

Both eyes on her master...

Guilty!

Rain bath...



Thanking my muse ;)

You may have to click each illustration to see the details of the fine lines.

My pens were drying out and my stamina was drying up!

Here it goes...off to the post office!

Thanks for stopping by.

Sketchbook Project Progress

Three Generations

Well, today's sketches went mostly to the dogs! I flipped through the sketchbook to see how many blank pages I had left to fill (13) so I started with the ones I scumbled paint on.

Look at this sad, sad group of Corgis!

I love keeping things fast and loose for projects like this. I don't think anyone wants to see if you can do an exact life-like drawing of anything.

I actually think it's harder for most of us to make it nuts and crazy and goofy.

I had fun today. That's the whole point, right? 

I love how I laid the paint down for this page. Mind you, I had NO idea what I was going to do until I did it. What freedom!

And it was so simple to close this in with a few distant cat-o-nine tails and a pond.

What do you think this little terrier sees? 

Hey Mim...a fish???

Aaaah, the gorgeous, aristocratic sight hounds! My husband really, really wants 

 a Scottish Deerhound. But here's a scribbly-wiggly gesture drawing of a Greyhound and his beloved red ball instead.

I had done something like this before and gave it to a blogger friend, Erin.♥

I thought this "cat lover" should have a place in the sketchbook, yellow stream and all ;)

And finally, not to ever leave my feline friends out, here's a blue tabby who really needs some TLC. Marianne, this is for you.♥♥♥

One more day and 8 more pages to go. I doubt I'll fill them all, but hell, I'll try!

Thanks for always taking the time to visit ;)

Is anyone else scramblig to finish their Sketchbook Project by January 15th??

I'm scribbling my way through the best I can and I'm not even halfway done!

So now I'm copying pet food ads! haha!

I do love this happy guy though.

I'm also tracing some of my old drawings (suggested by our dear friend Marianne.) I was copying them in color and glueing them in. Tracing is much better because it's still "original."

Of course, I'm changing them up a bit. I love the aura I gave this cat, hence the name!

And the Queen is still the Queen.

Slowly but surely I hope to fulfill this obligation. But I did read today that they want them to travel even if only partially done.

WHEW!!!!

And so far I'm keeping my promise and showing up "for myself."

Feels kinda nice ;)
