We made a new friend on our walk yesterday.

It was such a lovely day, I love Fall!

I saw these tree roots crawling down the hill and thought they'd be great for a creepy movie!  Doesn't it look like a tree hand coming for you!

and something for Sunday Sketches, (Follow this link to see more wonderful artistic sketches!)  a city perspective I've been working on and really like.  I think it's almost done.

Have a wonderful Sunday, thank you so much for stopping by for a visit!

SUNDAY SKETCHES

I haven't had been able to get a good photo of this piece that I've been working on called Journey to Womanhood.  This was hung on the wall and taken with my iphone.  I hope to find a black backdrop to set off the white background and pull out my good camera sometime this week but for now this will have to do.

Journey to WomanHood 1' X 3'

I layered the canvas with vintage book pages.  The titles of each page tell a story, the story of the voyage from Maidenhood to Womanhood.  The titles read: **The Maiden** The Courtship ** Somebody's Darling ** Leave her to Heaven (let her keep her purity) **  How to Avoid Housework**  An Accidental Woman ** Mrs. Who ** Mr. John Bailey Appears ** and finally in her sarong ** The Perfect Wife **

I drew the figures in black and white charcoal on top of the book pages and splashed the painting with gesso that I textured and stamped into while it was wet.

I don't often explain my art but this one tells a story about how we all wake up one day to discover we've become a Woman (or an adult for my male readers...LOL) and how as we mature into Womanhood we often are reaching back at times to get in touch with our younger selves.

Thanks for stopping by for Sunday Sketch!  Oh Oh I almost forgot, today is 1 month since I started my blog!  My goal was to have 50 followers in my first month so if you aren't following , make my day and sign on to follow!  I promise to work hard to keep you interested!  THANKS... HUGS!

Sunday, September 25th Sunday Sketches

Good Sunday Morning (In the Pacific Northwest anyway).         If you're looking for my Blog Prize Giveaway you will find it HERE.

Mohawk

Well a quick 5 minute, very simple line draw sketch today as I'm super busy and want to visit everyone on Sunday Sketches.  I saw a woman with a Pink Mohawk that I found just fascinating enough to want to capture some quick details.  I'm hoping to come back and do a "real" sketch later when I'm a bit less busy.  Please join me and visit all the wonderful blogs featuring Sunday Sketches!

I'm playing in a tennis tournament today.  It's a fundraiser to resurface the city tennis courts, the kids really need it since they are the only outdoor courts for the the entire school system to use.  I hope it goes well, the kids deserve a place to play, there are so many talented young tennis players.

Bean

This is Bean my Chihuahua.  He's a rescue dog, I have 4 rescue pups.  He's 15 and I've had him since he was about 5 months old.  No one wanted him because he came out of a puppy mill and has a very expensive to treat auto immune disease of the eye.  All I have to say is he's been worth a million times more than he ever cost.  He's the sweetest, most loving little guy and I'm thrilled he's part of my life.

Happy Sunday!
