IL Country House Sketch


Since I have recently begun to sketch again, I pulled out a few sketches from the past.
This is the house my late hubby and I built in 1975. We lived there until 1987 and moved to FL.
The woods you see are behind and around the house and the garden, unseen, is to the right. 
The children had 2 dogs - dogs and doghouses are to the left in the picture.
It was a beautiful house, made to look old, on a 1 acre of ground.
The old Hickory tree, struck by lightening, smelled wonderful in the fireplace in winter.
I pencil sketched the house from a picture and my memories.

Please join in looking at other artists creativity on Paint Party Friday.
Blessings,
Janet

Fashion







Shopping for fashion isn't always fun.  So I design something I think I would like.  Then I go find it. I am not always lucky to find it though.  The dress, the hat and the shoes.  I'm off to find them.

Paint Party Friday has wonderful artists for you to visit.

Blessings,
Janet

The Little Chef


 Sometimes we know exactly what we want to be when we grow up.

PS. I also have a "picture" that is accomplished with fabric, lace, feathers, crochet, beads, and chenille wire.. .. that could be a part of the Paint Party Friday - only paint was not used to make the picture.  http://jkwgalleries.blogspot.com/

Friends out for a walk


Sometimes it's fun to walk with each other and the pets.  Everyone is out enjoying nature and having a good time.

I've been away and now have a huge project deadline, but will try to hang in there with my art work in the meantime. Thanks for your patience.

Enjoy all the Paint Party Friday artists.

Blessings,
Janet
