In the studio on a rainy day

I have a painting on my easel begging to be completed; but it’s a rainy day and my dog is emulating exactly what I would like to be doing and how I would like to feel at this moment:

Inspiration

To take a break from the intense focus of painting for my March show (at West Annapolis Artworks, a group show with six women called “Equinox”), I’ve been following my dog around to sketch her and test out my new oil pens.  I picked up a three of them two months ago, and they have made me fall back in love with drawing because they are vibrant and strong.

Then I decided to pick up a few watercolor pencils, and add them to my sketches… I’ll spare you the eleven other sketches, but the bottom line is:  I’m having so much fun I have to tear myself away from my sketchbook – and my dog – and get back to the easel!
