A Good Froth
This is one of the drawings I did for the Delicious Show at Studio Gallery. I was out of town and did not get a chance to go to the opening reception, but I heard it is a great show. Instead I was floating in the mineral pool at Indian Springs in Calistoga - wow, was that heavenly. It was raining and chilly outside and we were so happy in the warm pool. Now that was delicious.

Rufous-sided Towhee 12" x 12"
I didn't know anything about this bird when I began drawing it. I just found an image and thought it looked cool. I don't think I've ever heard anyone utter the name towhee, but definitely not "rufous-sided towhee". It was fun to read that they are every where. Maybe now I'll see one flying about San Francisco.

Eat, Draw, Pray
I was invited to submit work for the "Delicious" show at Studio Gallery so I worked on some new images that would fit with the theme. I found this little drawing in my sketch book from Catharine's "draw you brunch" party. I'm having fun thinking of new things to draw for my image transfers.

Boreal with Branch
I am back in my studio but have to offer a R.I.P to my trusty Toshiba who finally died after limping along for oh so many years. I'm borrowing one of Trish's laptops but find that her tools are so up to date, I can hardly process my images. I long for the old Photoshop CS or plain old Elements. I opened the newest version of photoshop and was so entirely lost! Soon I'll bite the bullet and get a new laptop, but either way, I will need to update my image processing skills.
