Pay it Forward....

A while ago I got a chance to be part of a pay it forward. Jeanette at Illustrated Life was offering a piece of her art work as a return to receiving a piece of Vivien's art at Paintings Prints and Stuff who will receive a piece of art from Tina at The Cycling Artist and so on.

In the new year Jeanette will be sending me a drawing. I also want to pay it forward so I am going to offer three pieces of my art, to the first three people that ask for it. I will send it through the mail in the New Year. All I ask is that you pay it forward also. Keep the good Karma flowing.

My Book....


While I didn't post anything during November and early December, I was busy. I just had no way to get my pictures up, until I borrowed a camera cable from my Father in Law. One of the things that I did was to make a book about my first year of drawing. I did this with Blurb and their software.

Last night Jim and I went to an Artists Trading Card evening. It was held at Artcite in Windsor. Not many people showed up because of the holidays. Which was a good way to introduce myself into showing my own work. I traded three of my cards with my Cousin George who told me about the trading night. The artists get together on the last Thursday of the month to trade cards.

My Wild Turkey?....

This Turkey has been visiting us for the last couple of months. It just loves the acorns, or something behind my fence. I went looking through the web for wild turkey pictures and names. To my surprise I found out that this Hen(?) is a Bourbon Red, which is an heritage turkey. While I am sure he was hiding from the American Thanksgiving table, I do wonder where he came from??

Christmas Card...

At Let's Make Art we had a card exchange this year. This is the Christmas card I made. I did not know who it was going to until after it was done. It was kind of funny to find out that my horses were to head to Texas!
The photo source that I used was from Click at Morgue Files.
If you want to see the card I received go to Let's Make Art.

A Wish For You...


This month I had a private ATC exchange with one of my friends on Drawspace. We decided to do a theme with three cards. This is the set I did. The cards are Prisma colour pencil on drafting film. If you go to Drawspace you can see the beautiful set I got from Kim.
