February's loose ends

Like all loose ends, February's beg to be tied.  February has been a bittersweet month. I hate and don't hate to see it go. March brings spring, of course, even though on this cold, dark night that seems improbable.  Ends, beginnings--- that age-old song and dance. Casey and I often talk on the phone via Skype with a webcam and sometimes I sketch her as we talk. My friend Anne of Prêt à Voyager fame met with my daughter and me on our recent trip to Paris. Anne is a graduate student at American University in Paris, where my daughter is applying for admission next fall. Here are two of many Annes I've drawn recently. I'm never satisfied. And then there's breakfast at the dinner and sketching in the car---life's constants. Happy March everyone!

Great sketches. All of your artwork holds so much character.

beautiful sketches. they look so easy but I think that achieving such a look is real hard.

Thanks, everyone! Yes, Zeph, I do!

i love your "on the road" sketches...they have such a jaunty character about them...and when i scroll down the page it's a bit like the sensation of a "flip book"...remember those?

I can't believe I missed this - you flatter me, but it's a great drawing. I love the use of a sepia (or yellow ochre?) pen in the road sketches too, and Anne in front of the Eiffel tower is wonderful.

I love that you can find something to draw even when you are in a car on a road! And that you will post anything from amazing paintings, to beautiful sketches, to 2 minute scribbles! So inspiring!
