I completed this "Alpine chateau " sketch last night about 3 am. It is a bit blurred on the photo because I am tired and I am always wobbly on my feet when I am tired [because of much metal in one leg, and a lop-sided gait]. Also, this sketch is the third time I drew / painted a dog. The first time was the sketch I named "woof" of a tiny, white, fluffy dog and it is on another blog of mine. The second sketch I drew of a dog is the University of GA mascot sketch in watercolors that I put on another blog of mine at : https://gloriapoole.blogspot.com. I am a University of Georgia alum from the business school, which was a second "career" for me, because I was already a RN by that time, and working in that field when I decided to get a degree in Management.
So, I think the black dog looks more like a dog than I thought it would at 3 am!  |

The second sketch is a mother at the playground with her toddler and infant, and she is leaning against a log. It doesn't look much like a log but the playground does have logs around some playground equipment. Sketches help me, which is my main reason for drawing them. I am trying to improve my skills in drawing infants and small children to put on prolife blogs of mine, and to paint in oils. This is a watercolor sketch. It is not a very finished sketch and the faces were not completed on it. But it's enough to see that I like that theme--of a mother taking her small children to outdoor park to get fresh air and play on swings, and climber thingamajig.
