A hand drawn doodle in a simple color scheme, I wanted to do something quiet and delicate. Last night, while everyone in the house slept, I sat in a pool of lamplight with my music playing softly next to me and my pencil in my hand and drew late into the night. Bliss!

This is the first of three colorways. Hand drawn with pencil, colored and finished in Photoshop.

More fun with shapes and colours. : )

Drawing patterns is my favourite form of escapism, doesn't cost much, but so rewarding!

Created using my dual-tip artist's brush markers. This is me limiting the numbers of colors I'm using! Seriously, I only used five different markers ... : )

Who knew sitting and painting shapes in pretty colors could be so much fun? : )

A mixture of hand painted and hand drawn pencil work and watercolors, completed in Photoshop. Playing with the concepts of metal, glass, texture & light.

In the mood for softness & quiet, color-wise.

This is very probably inspired by my love of Wayne Thiebaud's amazing work.

Every morning I get up and think today I will draw / paint / photograph something amazing! and then I sit down at my computer and start to play with my favorite colors, my favorite shapes, the patterns and textures and themes that I love and before I even realize what is going on the whole day has disappeared. Sigh. Oh well, I like this. And TOMORROW I WILL draw / paint / photograph something amazing....

This pattern was created from a pencil drawing that I did this morning while listening to music and drinking coffee. Had the best day! : )

Because I love blue and white. : )
