Silver and Gold


Thank you to our friend Karen for posing for this sketch. Karen is a friend who counts as silver and gold, new to me and longtime to my Sweetie. We had a delightful weekend visit before she headed back North, but only after trying Carolina style BBQ and having an adventure with an Eastern Red Bat who was thinking of moving in. We'll be looking for other excuses to have pumpkin pancakes now, too. It's the time of year to treasure friends...Aloha!

  2. Thank you Stephanie! It's fun to do one outside of class. I was experimenting a little with the colors. Love the bold colors you've been exploring!

  4. Melle,
    My folks loved the drawing and immediately noted that the frame you got goes perfectly in the room I told you. So it will be going up there! Of course, I had to let them know that the serious, concentrated look on my face was not me suffering a memory lapse (as is more often the case these days); just enjoying a good read while trying to sit still for you. Thanks so much!

  5. Karen, has anyone ever told you that you are lovely when you are concentrating? 'S true! Course, the smile is great, too, but more challenging for the artist!
