Just checking in

All is going well here. We spend a lot of time in the garden these days and that's good! I love having good enough weather to do that...and do it a lot. I've got somewhere around a dozen roses waiting to be planted and they'll get done today. Okay, so it's more like 17 roses, but that's okay...8 of them are miniature roses and in rose circles, they don't count! Or at the very least, it takes 2 miniatures to equal one "real" rose.

I was reading my friend Ruth's blog posts and saw that she was posting some pix of her art work...since I've been doing a lot of that lately, I thought I'd share some of my colored pencil drawings with you. I'm loving this medium and having a lot of fun finding some interesting things to use as subjects.

Here are a couple of class drawings. Not class, as in high-class, but class as in college course-type class.

This was one we were assigned and we weren't allowed to use brown to make chocolate! It was quite a challege!



This is one I have to turn in Monday at class. I'm taking a floral colored pencil class right now.



I did this one just for the "red" of it.



And this one for the "green" of it.



I think I see a food theme going here...



Yep...definitely a food theme...



Not sure about this one...but you'll notice there's also food in it...



Oh well, it's all fun....food or not!

Hope you are all well and happy and having a great spring!
