interesting new website

I have just discovered a wonderful,fun website "ATCS for all" (atcsforall.com)

they do mostly ATCs , and have 30 or 40 themed swaps going at any one time. what fun! So many choises.

here are a few of my entries

the big flowers are done in hot wax (encaustic)

the crossword etc is for a swap called "games, toys & hobbies"

"under that shy exterior" is available for swap

the cactus was done for "the sky's the limit"

also available for swap

purple iris

this was done for a monocotyledon swap (iris,day lilies, tulips, grasses, etc)

long time ,no blog

well, it has been an interesting winter and summer,to say the least.
i havent had internet here in ariz., and have moved 3 times-the art supplies are a mess.
hoping to get settled, and back to some regular art stuff soon.
becky is in mich. clearing out 26 years of stuff, so we can relocate here in the fall.

monthly sketch-cow and water spout

these are the latest drawings for the Monthly Sketch Project.

the 1st is 2b pencil-an interesting study in light and dark

2nd is a lovely curly cow. i probably should have done her in color,as she is a beautiful strawberry blonde

this is a series I did from an old article I found in a National Geo.

it is called "Rediscovering America's forgotten crops". Some are familiar like jojoba,and some I never heard of. Fun project anyway

All are for trade

A foggy fall morning.

And, my sketch for the monthly project
