Lexa and guests at Adah's wedding shower

This is a sketch done directly in ink while I was at a wedding shower in Waterloo, NY.  "Stealth sketching" with my sketchbook on my lap under the table.  

The William's Little Sweetie

Done in watercolor from a photo texted to me.
The colors on the computer monitor don't quite look as subtle as they do in the original and I
believe her family will be pleased.  Merry Christmas.

My husband sketched from life in the hospital.  Not one of his better days, but fortunately he is much healthier now.  I put closeup pattern of his gown in circle, as well as the tree image that I saw outside of his window.

Effy Wild Embrace the Suckage

While watching Effy's live stream she said to "Embrace the suckage"  when you do something that you didn't intend to just embrace it and go on.  I thought it was a pretty great statement.
Sketched from the live video with Pentel Pocket Brush Pen on orange pre-stenciled sketchbook.
Purple watercolor.  Have been drawing with no preliminary pencil sketches in this book.  It is multi media paper, smooth art stock, 110#, but unfortunately when watercolor is put on the paper wants to peel.
The ink does not show through to the other side so that is a plus.

Martha Lee, Seeking for Art, as seen with her daughter at AFA Texas

A journal page that I didn't finish at the ArtForAll 2011 Dallas, Texas convention.  I promised this page for Martha and just finished it using a photo I took there.
Watercolor on her journal page - unknown paper type  8"x8"

Tree frog climbing the glass door

I have never seen a tree frog on the glass door before.  Was thrilled that I got to actually view it in person from an angle that was natural and one that would be impossible to stage.

Canandaigua Lake, NY

Sketching in the rain while looking for a letterbox that we never found.

The man shape and the bird shape are images of the Indian relics found on this sight. They were carved in stone. On the right page is the lake and breakwater...with duck butts. My niece, who was with me, said; " You suck at drawing duck butts." I believe I have to agree. The spots are the rain drops and my ink wasn't waterproof until dry.
