Jeyo

My daughter loves to have red Jell-O as her dessert.  She pronounces it, "Jeyo."  Done in acrylic on canvas paper.

My Bundled Baby Bear

I started this drawing in May, and forgot about it until I found it in my pad of pastel paper.  I just needed to fill in the pink stripe on the girl's dress and the background.  I'm having fun playing around on coloured paper.

IF: Strong

I thought I'd try another submission this week to Illustration Friday.  I had fun last week, and am super grateful for the encouraging comments I received.  :)  This one was painted in gouache.

Little Snooze

The children are back in my drawings again!  They're so fun to draw.  My daughter thinks that they are all portraits of her, even when I draw boys.  Of course, though, they are all inspired by her. 

Sketch of a girl

A classmate in university observed, "girls always draw girls, and guys always draw guys."  I totally agree.  Girls and women come very naturally for me when I'm doodling.  

IF: Magnify

Being brave!  This is my very first submission to Illustration Friday.  I have been a long-time fan, and I really admire the artists who submit to the site each week.  So, yeah.  I'm being brave.

The topic for this week is Magnify.  I don't think I've drawn fairies in at least ten years.  It was fun!

Forgotten Pages

I recently found a sketchbook that I had started back in January, but only coloured in a few pages, then got sidetracked with something else. I liked two particular pages, so I thought I'd share them here!


I've been spending my summer doodling in my sketchbook. I feel very stuck with painting on canvas, but I'm happy to be scribbling away. My daughter recently turned two, and enjoys scribbling also. :)
