Fall sketches

Well, it seems that Autumn is officially in the air...goodbye, summer! It's been a great one. Here's what I've been sketching...

Cats, cats, cats

...so I've been doodling lots of cats these days in preparation for my first foray into drawing comics, which will be a collaboration with my mom. We're both excited about the possibilities of the concept, and I can't wait to reveal it in its entirety. Still, it has quite a bit further to go. More to come!

May in bloom

I always love the first day of a new month. It's like a fresh start...and what better day to kick off one of my favorite months than a perfectly beautiful Spring day such as today? Also, today is my sweet grandmother's 88th birthday! I sketched these little blossoms while on the phone with her earlier. Happy birthday, Grandma!

Lazy Sunday doodles

I spent a little time this afternoon enjoying the sunshine and doodling in my sketchbook:

Sunflower

A cold snap this weekend has left me longing for the warmer weather Atlanta had been graced with for the last few weeks. Despite the chilly temperature and the harsh wind, my husband and I spent some time potting a few plants and flowers this afternoon. I'm hoping to plant some sunflowers once the weather is more forgiving!! For now, I can have all the two-dimensional flowers that I want!

I wish I had this dress!

Little Ladybugs

Just a little sketch I thought I'd share that I did this weekend using ink and watercolor. My husband and I were out for a walk and there were ladybugs everywhere! So, naturally, I decided to sketch a few.

Happy Saturday!
