May the “Force” be with you…
Maddie is taking gymnastics this year!
The place where she takes is called Flip Force.
Like young padawans, they move through a maze of obstacles, beams, trampolines, boards, mats, etc. to train their bodies.
Maddie says it is SO FUN!!
**Even though this is the last day of August Break…I’m lovin’ these quick posts and sketches, so they’ll keep on comin’.
I hope you’ll keep on comin’ to visit too!
School Dayz
One corner of the room where I teach art to K-8 students.
Maddie helped me create artwork for the walls…a sweet memory I will not soon forget!
Sun Girl
A recent trip to Hanging Rock Lake with my daughters…
eldest soaked up the sun
while youngest and I swam. (not pictured drawn:)
Pool Daze…
In Black & White…
And In Color…
Sometimes I find it hard to “colorize” the simple black & white line work.
Color has a tendency to take over.
But maybe not too much:)
Morning Washes
Different views off my back deck.
Van Gogh travel watercolors, Leow-Cornell Size 10 Ultra Round, Aquabee square sketchbook.

August Break…with a Twist
A favorite crafter of mine, Betz White, is participating in August Break…an idea put forward by an online friend of hers. You can read here the idea behind it. Basically, it’s an opportunity to take a break from drafting riveting blog posts, and just posting a lovely photograph of August, with only a word or two or none. My twist on this will be to post a simple line drawing, using my sketchbook and pen as the “lens” through which I see my world. These will be little “dropping-in-moments”. I’m a bit late on this, but I won’t sweat it. There’s enough sweating going on with our temperatures lately, and add to that the feverish race to begin a new school year. Whew! I’ll need a lot of “breaks” to simply mark in lines, the moments before me. Perhaps you’d like to join in?
