Pear

...For Inspire Me Thursday

Time has been in short supply this month, but I couldn't resist taking an hour to make a quick digital sketch for Inspire Me Thursday's "Pear" theme.  It's high time I got back to drawing and painting!  You'll be seeing more digital paintings from me in the near future, as I've started scanning a backlog of my line drawings and am playing with color.  

 I'm ready for the weekend!  Right now I'm

Listening to Amy play my favorite piece of music, Chopin's Waltz in C Sharp Minor, Op. 64

Sipping an icy cold glass of Chardonnay

Finishing Joanne Harris (author of Chocolat) first book, The Evil Seed

Then off to watch an episode or two of Dr. Who, and 

Call it a night!

Before I go, a big "Thank You" the Quayside Publishing Group for gifting me with Timothy O'Donnell's new book, Sketchbook, Conceptual Drawings From the World's most Influential Designers.  To say this book is fabulous would be a huge understatement!  This is a must have for anyone who considers him/herself an artist, or who loves a true behind the scenes peek into artists' raw sketchbooks and notes.  I won this book in a drawing on Craftside.  If you haven't been there, you owe it to yourself to stop by.  There are daily reviews of books and products, usually with a sample project or two, worked up from any of a number of various and sundry publications, complete with instructions.  And from time to time, you'll find a video tutorial.  While you're there, don't forget to sign up for the free e-newsletter!

Have a great day, Everyone!
