Binder Clip
Today I took about 20-30 minutes of completely interrupted time to draw this binder clip. I think that I was stopped every 2 minutes. I’m quite fond of the results actually! This was done in my moleskin sketchbook with a 02 Micron black pen. I used Sue Bleiweiss’ The Sketchbook Challenge to prompt this drawing. Continue reading

Man on the train
I recently went to NYC on the Amtrak train to help my boss set up his new Hi-Fi showroom. On the way there, this business man snoozed in the seat across the aisle, and I couldn’t resist sketching him. He hardly moved at all, so it was pretty easy to draw him, but I still Continue reading

Screw it…
Okay so the pun is overused, BUT, I have been trying to finish this tiny little drawing for months, and still have not finished it. This is drawn using a basic Ticonderoga pencil in my moleskin sketchbook (it’s about 5×7-ish). This actually is a large carriage bolt, not a screw, but I just couldn’t resist Continue reading

Random Sketches of Happiness
This sketch is a little old, but was done from the first camping trip back in July. On our picnic table was the usual camping items… lantern, citronella candle, a book, other random doo-dads that you need, but didn’t need just then. I had the brief opportunity to draw, and for once, liked where it Continue reading

Here is a sketch I did this past weekend while camping with my family. By some chance I actually had time to sketch twice (a miracle, believe me!). I enjoyed sketching this bottle, and would have liked to have completed the scene. The bottle was placed at the end of our picnic table among an Continue reading

Portrait in Plaid
Here is a pencil portrait from a photograph of my son. It looks nothing like my son, naturally. However, I was pleased with the results for the most part. Done in my moleskin sketchbook with a basic Ticonderoga #2 pencil. For the life of me I couldn’t get the nose right. I’m just amazed that Continue reading

Umbrella Girl
This is a quick drawing from an old photograph of a girl with an umbrella walking down Avenue of Americas in NYC. This is done in a tiny 3×5 Strathmore sketchbook with a black #5 Micron pen. Continue reading

ADK Chair
We took our first camping trip of the year last weekend to beautiful Woodford, Vermont. I (attempted) to draw (between interruptions from twin crazy boys) one of my child’s Adirondack Chairs. It’s a little messed up, but I don’t care. I often like smallish mistakes in drawings. One more addition to the Moleskin sketchbook, done Continue reading

Old Blue
This car has a history, a short one. When my husband was in the military, he found this car in some Northwestern state and bought it. He drove it all the way across country to his mom as a gift. This was at least two decades ago, and sadly, his mom never drove it or Continue reading
