Some New Colored Pencil ACEO's...
I am learning some new colored pencil techniques from a book I recently
purchased titled "Colored Pencil Painting Bible" by Alyona Nickelsen.
Ms. Nickelsen brings the dynamics of colored pencils to a wonderful new
level. I know I will never be able to accomplish work like hers ... but
I am certainly learning to improve!

A Little Fun
It snowed here
We rarely get snow
and it didn't last
through the whole day
but I caught a few
little ones
out frolicking
in the little bit we got.

"My Girl" Day Twenty Ink Sketch
Years ago two very special dogs came into our lifes, Suzie aka Yellow
Fawn and Dexter aka Moose. They were anonymously given to my parents
who eventually gave them to us and they became dear and precious members
of our little family. As far as we could discern they were in the
Rhodesian Ridgeback family.
Thumbing through my albums today, I came across a photo of Suzie and it just called out to me as the subject of my Day Twenty Sketch. Now, mind you, drawing animals is not something that comes easily to me. I finally decided to challenge myself further in Brenda Swenson's 75 Day Sketch Challenge and at least attempt this drawing. So here is

The bond between brother and sister.....
Recently I decided to take on "Brenda Swenson's 75 Day Sketch Challenge"
in which a participant draws one sketch per day for 75 days using only
ink ... NO pencils or erasers allowed! Today was my eighteenth day and I
chose a photo of two of my grandchildren (when they were much younger).
I have never sketched two figures together on one page without first
making pre-drawings in pencils with lots of erasures to be sure that
proportions are close to what they should be. Never the less, I
decided I would try ... the result is this sketch that I really like!
The lesson I learned? You never truly know what you are capable of
doing until you really try.....
I have this print available as an Open Edition ACEO in my Etsy Shop.

My Third and Final Entry to the December ACEO Challenge ...
Outside of our kitchen garden window we have an arborvitae that
stands at the east end of the window. We also have a family of
squirrels that nest in the tall blue spruce in our front yard. The
squirrels gather and bury nuts all over our yard, later they will dig up
their little treasures and many a time I have been working in the
kitchen and a motion will capture my attention outside of the window, I
look up and I'll see a little squirrel happily munching on a tender nut
morsel.
This happened again today and inspired my third and final entry in The ACEO Challenge which I have titled "Garden Window Visitor"....
