Detail of “Cafe Date,” watercolor and ink on Arches hot press paper. Prints and dessert plates available in my Gallery.
This just so happened to be in my repetoire, so I pulled it out for this week’s topic on IllustrationFriday.com. This is one in a series of eight illos I created for PoshPoochy earlier this year. Four of them are available on dessert plates, but this is the most popular one by far.
Well I have been busy… I went through my website and took care of broken links, added some new images to the Graphics section, wrote up a little bio for the new About section, and fixed all menus accordingly. Next I need to add new Illustration images, but I’ve done enough for today.
I’m feeling pretty blue this friday afternoon, despite the flutterings of baby birds on my front porch and in my garden. The two resident Sparrow families in my birdhouses have learned to fly at the same time, and they’re very happy about the fresh sunflower seeds I put out for them near the blooming Magnolia tree. I also have nectar out for my annual hummingbird visitor, but she hasn’t made an appearance yet. I miss her. I could use a dose of her energetic joy.
I have great pics and even a movie of Maggie to share but my camera battery needs to be recharged before I can retrieve the images. She was quite the patriotic puppy last weekend. Nothin’ says America like a Beagle wearing a red, white and blue ribbon (though I believe the breed’s origin to be British).
Speaking of British, my heart goes out to yet another beautiful city that has experienced new horrors of anger and hatred. I hope that the friends from my past who live in London are all safe and sound. Anne? Nick? Spider?
This weekend I am hoping to relax a bit at the same time that we continue preparing the house for sale, just in case things go our way on July 18th. The Rocky Mountain countdown continues.
Have a nice weekend.
