After a snowstorm I did this crazy sketch through our bay window of our backyard and the back of our neighbors’ house. In watercolor, anything white (like snow) is the unpainted white of the paper.

Bonnie the Dog
This is a pet portrait I recently painted of a dog named Bonnie.
Dearly loved, greatly missed.
Pet portraits make great gifts for yourself or others. Details are here.
Staying Green All Winter
Houseplants are so wonderful. They add oxygen and remove CO2 and pollution from the air. They are an oasis of green on the grayest indoor days. This one, on a shelf in front of our window, has an interesting thread hanging down which made a fun sketch.
Eating Well
As I’ve tried to lose a couple of pounds in the New Year (using an excellent online program called “Noom”), I’ve been thinking of this quote.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Sketching at Meetings
Sketching at meetings is a good way to stay “present.” It’s counter-intuitive, but instead of daydreaming about the past or future, it’s a way to notice what is right in front of you, while also listening. All you need is a scrap of paper and a pencil.
Last weekend I was at a restorative justice training, and I did these sketches of some of my fellow participants.
Zentangles
Designs are fun! This one was inspired by a book called “Zentangle,” in the genre of increasingly popular adult coloring books.
Table and Chairs?
Abstract realism, especially with bright colors and interesting patterns, can be really appealing. (To purchase original 9″ x 12″ for $125 click here.)
