Ice Cream Cone

I know it has been forever and there goes my promise of more art. It's been so hard balancing a baby and artmaking!

Anyway, I did this ice cream cone, but I didn't finish...I probably won't finish it, as I don't like where it is going.

I used a photo of an ice cream I took, which isn't usually the way I like to work. I like to work from actual objects, but it's hard with something like ice cream that melts (or birds that don't stay put). I'm still trying to figure out the best way to draw ice cream from an actual object. Draw it outside in the middle of winter? Make fake ice cream again?

Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed drawing again, so I am hoping I'll be back sooner than later.

What a mess!

Please bear with me as I work on updating my layout!

New goal...

Maybe if I write my new goal here, I'll be more apt to keep it:

Create something non-digital once a week.

I miss artmaking. One drawing a week will keep my hand in it and I know it's not an impossible goal. I am stressing non-digital because I am still doing freelance and stuff with Melanie for July Twenty Fourth, but I also need the hands-on, down-and-dirty projects.

Lupine Door Panels

It's been a long time since I have posted -- life with a baby gets to be a bit crazy!

I did want to post a project I finished a long while back for my friend Martha -- fabric panels for her closet doors.

By the way, I do hope to make more art soon. I need to be drawing or watercoloring or something -- as much as I love my Violet time, I miss creating so much as well.
