Here is my submission for the February Virtual Sketch Date. It is a view of Lake Louise supplied by Debbie Later......Thanks Deb! It has special significance for me as it is in my backyard (only about 90 minutes away) and this is where my husband proposed to me 16 years ago this May.

January Virtual Sketch Date

Here is my entry for the January Virtual Sketch date. I overworked this way too much to my liking but my husband could still recognize that it was an orange so that's good.

Virtual Sketch Date

Today is the day we have to have our submissions posted for the September virtual sketch date.

The reference image was a still life of peonies against a black background.

Here is mine.

I started putting in the dark background and then had a change of heart, finding it too overpowering.

This was a tough one for me.

I had difficulty with the vase and all the light and reflections going on. I think I may have overworked it. I will try a second attempt, but I wanted to post this now to get it in on time.


The kids and I are battling over computer time. It seems Runescape is taking priority right now, ....it may be time for another craft.

see you later

Virtual Sketch Date

Today is the day we have to submit our cabbage drawings or paintings for the August Virtual Sketch Date.

Here is mine. I wanted strong color. I don't think I have ever painted a cabbage before but I really enjoyed it.

This was my first time participating in the sketch date and I plan to continue. It will be interesting to see what everyone else came up with.
