Oak Tree Drawing

 An Oak tree watercolor. I used Derwent watercolor pencils, a Conte sanguine colored pencil, and a generic blue watercolor in a plastic watercolor brush from #Sketchbox https://getsketchbox.com. 

Thank you, Pam! No rules, just play!

Silhouette Drawing

I have been reading, Read This If You Want To Be Great At Drawing, by Selwyn Leamy. It has and continues to be a great source for drawing better. This is a quick silhouette drawing of a paper mache manican. It turned out well. You can see and feel the energy!

 

Onion Snow

no matter the name

onion snow, sap snow, late snow,

watching it melt, joy

Seasonal Change, Spring

Spring! 

What a word! 

It has several meanings. My favourite is...the renewal of living things, the change of season from winter.

I know for myself, I need change. I like having more than one or two seasons. I think it helps human beings in life to stay grounded and appreciative of all life. Although as I get older, winter tends to be a more challenging season.

I have been in the midst of change. A crusible. I hope to continue to move forward from an extended long wintering and into an eternal Spring. I once heard that HOPE springs eternal. I like the thought.

In the spirit of creativity I have been practicing drawing, stitching, and writing some haiku poetry. From time to time I will post my poems, drawings, and other works of art. 

I hope you will appreciate them. I hope they will inspire you. I hope you will find joy in living creatively.

With hope,

PeggyJo
