Mothers Day Family Art Project

Mother's day was celebrated a day early in Walnut Creek with some group art
Top:  Redo of 4 square drawing, done by three sisters and one (nearly) 97 year old mother
Middle:  Original 4 square drawing; done with each of 3 sisters having a square and the mother filling in wherever (blue person, pink accents, etc.)
Bottom:  Diptych (ie art done in two pieces, no hinge) joined together here, of a green-headed bird, perhaps in flames?  The result of 4 sisters working together in harmony.

Valentine Rose Magnolia Crab

Romance can be a mixed blessing!  Beauty and crabbiness mixed, with photography and pen & ink illustration.

Freehand Drawings of Various Well Worn Running Shoes

to be printed on fabric and sewn into daughter's in-process marathon race-running quilt, composed primarily of Ts won at a multitude of races.  In fact, there are too many race Ts for one quilt, so I'm having to be selective, but I also want to personalize it, hence the Asics,  Newtons and Nike's above.

Sunday Drawing Fun with Family

Sitting outside yesterday, in Walnut Creek, drawing with my 95 3/4 year old mother, and my siblings, in the warm California sun can be summed up in one word:  Delightful.  I was drawing birds with the aim of designing some new fabric on Spoonflower, then took a turn at drawing my mother (as she drew me) and finally drew one of the still life props set out for inspiration - a wooden artist model.

Shoes and Skulls

New drawings October and November, 2012.

Faces

Four pictures above are examples of how to draw people.  That is, if you don't want them to look like themselves! Top photo of "High School Girl," does not resemble the model.  Bottom three sketches of a Leonardo Da Vinci drawing, look like three different girls.  Fortunately someone invented the camera.
