My Monday morning jewelry projects are lined up and ready to go in the studio but they'll have to keep. Today is Sunday, time for rest..
Sunday = rest + connection to God and each other
The air was was misty and the shadows were "long". (They get that way in the fall.)
Even old fence posts are lovely in this light.

and weeds become magical.
It was a little cool out for this girl so photos I took of the fence line across the street served as reference for today's Sunday Sketch.
First a little pen and ink,
then a splash of color just for fun. Voila!

I'm a little late posting for Sunday Sketches, but better late than never! Now I'm off to spend a little quality time with the huz.
I've fallen a bit behind in visiting my blogging friends. This week promises to be more manageable so hopefully I'll get caught up in the next few days. I can't wait to see what you've all been up to. Have a great week, my friends!
Linking up today with:

ReplyDeleteHi Janice,
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing photos of your morning walk and your dogs are so sweet with their faces and cuddles.
Wonderful sketch and I am amazed how much color can make the same drawing look and feel entirely different.
With all the photos I take, I've never tried drawing from them when they are not figures.
You've inspired me to take another look:)
Beautiful! I love your sketch and the photo it is based on, magical indeed! What a sweet face your dog has and such a lovely way to start the day.
ReplyDeleteI love the photos of your morning walk! They are beautiful! And I love especially your big guy :).
ReplyDeleteAnd I love as well your picture of the flowers at the fence! It is adorable!
It's wonderful how a little bit of colour can add so much to a sketch. Those photographs are beautiful too!
