Daily Sketch Reprise: Action Shot, 2013
The boys were playing, and I loved the angles and shapes they made as they did whatever they were doing. Best of all, they were at eye level on the wardrobe at the top of the stairs, so as long as I didn’t step back too far and fall backward down the steps, I’d be fine. I think Mr. Sunshine finally caught the teeny tiny moth that’s been teasing him.
I can capture this in pencil, my native drawing medium, I’m not typically quick enough with other media, and with ink I make a lot of thinking dots, not so with pencil.

Dinnertime! Original, Prints and Cards
Here is one of my favorite sketches, the third daily sketch of over a thousand, from way at the beginning of my series of sketches beginning on December 4, 2011, and one of the few to include Cookie. It’s Kelly, Mimi and Cookie enjoying dinner on the evening of December 7, 2011.
Nearly all my daily sketches are “in the moment”, not made from photos and usually not from memory. They catch the real events from our days here, and for that reason, just as photos bring back memories as you flip through them, of that moment and of that time, each of my sketches also brings back memories, but with far more detail. Possibly because they touch many more parts of me. Read more and order.
