Christmas Clover

My Clover gift to myself is complete and framed. The drawing is temporarily residing on my mantelpiece. After Christmas I’ll contemplate a permanent home.

Clover WIP 4

There is an intermediate WIP step (3) viewable in my Flickr photo stream. I was going to knock off drawing, and took a photo. Then I decided to keep going for a while longer, and had to take another.

The flash really reflects off the heavier graphite coverage…makes it look like I used something shiny for the shadows.

Clover WIP 2

Not a lot of progress made, but some.

I’m drawing myself a Christmas present…my not-much-of-a-puppy, Clover. She was particularly photogenic yesterday, so I have a nice photo from which to work.

Clover Bits

While we’re on the topic of sitting in the garden for five minutes…sometimes the dog comes with me. Who am I kidding, Clover always comes with me. Sleeping, she’s a very fine model, but awake…not so much.

I was particularly pleased with the elbow and the shoulder (see arrows), but overall the session was a bust.—except for the fact that we got a little fresh air and sunshine, that is.

Saturday’s Sketches on Thursday

It’s been a busy week at work, so it’s taken me a good portion of the week to get around to posting these. We’re all on the cusp of enjoying a long weekend, and I’m still reveling in the last one a bit.

Saturday was one of those ideal days when you just float from one relaxing bit of the day to the next, and only the idea popping into your head tells you what comes next.

Obviously, I spent some time in the garden, and I was not alone  🙂
