making headway

slow but steady progress on my oak tree drawing...in the midst of so many other things going on; making curtains for my daughters room, open house at school, helping a friend move, cleaning, chauffeuring!! phew!life can get soooo busy! that's probably why i like mornings so much...they are very, very quite and slow. altho i only seem to draw in the evenings! go figure!!

rainy day

 yesterday it just rained and rained...a really hard rain all day long! so for most of the day we stayed in and watched movies, eat homemade soup and i worked on my oak tree drawing. i have to say it is slow going with so much detail, but i do feel like i'm making some progress on  it. 

 and throughout the day, one or more of the animals cuddled up next to me...which is always sweet!

 those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life.

start of a new drawing

this is the start of my new oak tree drawing that i began early sunday morning.

as i sat on the couch drawing, shorty snuggled in next to me and we watched the movie catfish (which i recommend...the unfolding of it is quite interesting! facebook can be both a blessing and a curse at the same time...watch it and you'll see what i mean).

and as both of my girls were gone last night i made quite a bit of progress between those 2 small chunks of time. this will be one of the larger drawings i've done in awhile...15x18 when it's complete. i'm digging how it's turning out so far, so am very excited to work on it as much as i can!!
