The Snow cat, again

Snow leopard on black paper

A do-over with different materials

I wasn’t altogether happy with my previous attempt to put this cat on paper, so I started over. So far, I’m liking it. Still a way to go. My source for the original photo, Brian Switek, has moved his primary blog, but the photo is still on the wall at the old place. I hope he likes this version.

I’ll be posting updates as I progress.

My version of the basic “brown paper exercise.” Still a work in progress.

Update, minus photo

Posted on November 13, 2011 | Leave a comment

I have finished the drawing of Tag, the Blue Heeler/Australian Cattle Dog for the friend of my cousin who has been waiting for it for some time. Mea culpa, I plead technical difficulties which delayed my starting on it sooner.

But I’m not posting a photo of the finished product until after it’s in the hands of it’s new owner. That only seems fair. Instead I offer a first look at a new project, which is a *secret, Christmas present* project, that I may not be able to show further progress on until after it, too, has gone to its new home.

Just a bunch of lines at the moment

Update Number Two

Posted on November 4, 2011 | Leave a comment

I’m pleased to report that I’ll have this finished and in the hands of it’s rightful owner before Christmas. The light has been kind of iffy lately — we actually had some cloudy and overcast days in this part of Drought Central. Of course those clouds produced very little in the way of rain. Now that we’re back in the grips of the all-sun-all-the-time weather pattern, I can get some more art work done.

Recent work on my drawing of “Tag.” He sure has been good at “holding still!”

Long overdue — a new art project

Posted on October 13, 2011 | Leave a comment

It’s been a while since I posted a picture that I was working on, mainly because I haven’t been doing any artwork for a while. I forget how relaxing it is. Very “grounding” and de-stressing work, like I guess yoga is supposed to be. Anyway, this is a portrait of a dog that belongs to a friend of one of my cousins. Cute, huh? Updates to follow.

Still a ways to go

Sprucing the place up

Posted on August 28, 2009 | 3 Comments

You might notice that I’ve moved a few things around in the sidebar, added the nifty tag “cloud,” and some links to blogs I like and some websites that aren’t blogs that are cool. So now if you want to read all the posts I’ve written about my dogs you can click on the “basenjis” in the tag cloud and see all those titles. And you can see some of the stuff I read on a regular basis. I’ll add more links as I go — don’t want to overwhelm anyone.

Oh, and pictures.

Almost finished

Pictures! and stuff…

Posted on August 20, 2009 | 1 Comment

It’s been a while since I did a post with a bunch of pictures. Gee, that means I’ve actually been thinking up stuff to write — or just bugging out of the whole scene, like I did the last couple weeks. Well, I have a few pictures to share, and they’re pretty random, which is kind of fun in itself. Here goes…
