Pandora and Summer Sketchbook Pages

Both of these pages were done in the past two weeks and I'm thoroughly enjoying working with pen until I get moved into the new studio with all of my supplies. The first drawing is a partial reproduction of a painting by John William Waterhouse entitled "Pandora" and was created in 1896. I truly love Waterhouse's work. There are a couple of areas with shading that bother me, but, for the most part, I'm happy with how this went.


This drawing I did when daydreaming of the wonderful summer I'm going to have with my husband and kitties in the new house.



I hope everyone has a lovely week. I plan to keep drawing this week as I have at least ten more drawings planned for ink! :)

"Nina's Dahlia"

This is a painting I did last week (April 28), but wasn't able to post as I went up to the new house for the weekend. It is an acrylic on an 8" X 10" canvas panel. Now that my studio is packed up I'm grabbing what canvases and panels are laying around and using them up - since I can't get to my fabrics, etc.! 


"Nina's Dahlia"
Nina is a delightful little girl who is the daughter of a friend of mine. She has a wonderful little giggle. I'm told she likes dahlias. :)
