" MY SPIRIT "

                                               8  x  11  Pen , Ink & Tombow

I was smelling this heavenly fragrance to realize it came from the top of this tree , I just love Magnolia and their scent mesmerizes me.

A more detail and colorful rendition is on it's way...........

" COWSABLANCA "

I am part of a group called  " Artisans by the sea  " We participated in the COW PARADE .    We painted this lovely girl to join many others and are displayed throughout La Jolla here in San Diego and at the end of the exhibition will be auctioned off to benefit the 

Rady Children's Hospital S.D. & the Zoological Society of San Diego

.

So I went to find my cow and  lo & behold there she was on the corner of Prospect & Ivanhoe.  She is one of the prettiest I think but I'm partial, you know how it is with our children 

ha! ha!

Go to their website there is a lot of other entries.

It's really funny, visiting the Louvre a few weeks ago I took some pictures of a few statues wanting to draw them and lo and behold this is the exercise Karin from DSFDF gives us.

 So I was happy to practice. 

As I was drawing this piece I started seeing the love between these two in a much deeper fashion then when I first glanced at it, hence the title.

" LOOK UP "

                                                      8  x  11   pencil 3B

                                I went to the Getty museums yesterday with my daughter, it was beautiful. We got a chance to see incredible  art paintings like Monet's "IRIS" and many others but at one moment I got a chance to see my daughter looking up into the light.

 The only thing I can say is I believe in something greater than ourselves even more glorious. 

So      "look up"     for there is more than what the mere eye sees.

                               Blessings to all this EASTER.               NFS

" Laura's garden "

                           8  x  11   pencil, tombow pen, watercolor

This is the piece done with the local San Diego Sketchcrawl get together, we meet at Laura's house which was a feast for the eyes. We then ate lunch together and passed around our drawing pads. Good company and good artists makes for a fun time.

faux " Marble "

I was tired of seeing my last post but I haven't done anything new so I thought I would post something I did a while ago.

This is a door and frame which got painted and coated to make it look like marble for a company selling marble !

I had lost of fun doing this because I could choose to copy any of the marbles that were around me but this one had elegance to it, in my opinion. So I decided to do this for my door.

The name that we partially see is their company but they moved sadly.
