Dallas Chic Fest Vendor Photo Shoot...

On this past Saturday, I had a vendor photo shoot 4 the 2011 Dallas Chic Fest.
Those who know me know I'm shy about photo's.

Kachelle let me have some creative control with my shoot.

The photographer, Denise Toombs, had a great idea & knew exactly how I 

wanted to be photographed. I can't wait to see finished pics.

 I finished my pieces for the 9x12 On Paper Show last night & got it postmarked today...

deadline day.  I'm gonna try & get ahead of my next deadline stuff I swear!

In Etsy news, available today are my 2010 Holiday Box Sets.

The boxed cards consist of 10 blank  Christmas eye chart cards to a set. 

Check them out here!

I will be working on a birth announcement card tonight that I conceived in

a dream a few weeks ago.  I just need to sketch it out and mess w/it a bit.

Also, I hope to start sketching again every night before bed now that I

 have some free time again. 

Several of my unfinished sketches are screaming to be completed...

9x12 or Bust...

Finishing my art piece tonight!

Beard...

Sketched late Saturday night...

Pumpkin Beard

Sketched @ 1:00 a.m...

My Hat and Mittens

(sketchbook pic)

It is soooo hot in Texas...this sketch wanted to come out early this morning to cool off my mind, so to speak.

Plein Aire...

    I had a great time sketching outside in the rose garden @ the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens. I met Doug Clark & Elaine Taylor, the Gallery Manager of the Fort Worth Community Arts Center. It was such a beautiful morning & I took my blanket ready to sketch on the lawn of the gardens. Well, to my surprise, they watered the grass so I set-up to sketch on this bench.

I got all set up and did not feel like sketching flowers & such so I finished this bird sketch that has been trapped in my sketchbook.  Her left wing is missing because I started the sketch @ the left side of my paper as if she was landing  onto the book this way.  I seem to do things like that when I sketch and I don't know why.  When I sketch, are the characters that come to life still traveling some how and I capture them this way?

I did take a few pictures of the rose garden and just maybe I will sketch some roses soon.

Plein Aire @ Bontanic Gardens...

I've packed up my art supplies...

A group of artists from TAC (Texas Artist Coalition) will meet at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden today from 7:30a.m - too hot a.m.

to sketch & paint in the rose gardens.

Sketching outdoors in a rose garden is the perfect way to end my hectic week!

Sketchbook No. 2...

My sister, Yolanda, found me the neatest sketchbook.  I'm almost done w/sketchbook no. 1 & I can't wait to create in this one!
