Happy Holidays

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Season’s Greetings to All.Cows & Chickens drawing

What a rush this year has been!! So much going on and we are nearly into a new year. Christmas is upon us and I am enjoying the festivities and family gatherings, especially  my new grandson, Calvin, born two months ago. We just stacked ten wheelbarrows of firewood and are ready for winter to begin. The days are shorter and the weather outside makes us want to stay warm inside. It is an ideal time to settle down with one of my coloring books, a hot steamy drink and some Christmas goodies to welcome in and enjoy the season.

With this year being so full of the unexpected, my goal to publish Mild Things of the World, coloring book number four has been pushed into January, 2024. The drawings and descriptions are all ready to go to the publishers for printing. Here is a sample of one of the “mild animals” that will be shown in my new coloring book. I love cows and red barns. And the chickens always add a farm flavor. Can’t miss the strutting rooster showing off to the hens! These are some of the many animals that have become domesticated by humankind through the ages and what I love to share so much about this new coloring book.

I am looking forward to getting Mild Things of the World out on Amazon and with Barnes & Noble Book Stores so you can get to coloring!!

SPRING IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER!

Donkey Drawing ProgressWow! We are almost through winter and entering springtime. With all of the rain and snow we have had it will feel wonderful seeing the sunshine again. I took my little eleven-year old Shih Tzu doggie-dog for a walk yesterday down a path we haven’t used throughout winter. What a lovely walk, meeting all the other doggie owners walking the path and seeing the beautiful flowers budding and ready to burst out into the world. What a great inspiration to bring lots of color into my drawings.

Here is donkey surrounded by a wreath of daisy’s and ready for fun! You can see how I progress in drawing this little charmer. He is one of seven images I have created for coloring book number four. My goal is to draw 30 images to complete the book by the end of this summer. It sounds a bit aggressive, but I think It will be a great challenge creating many drawings for hours of fun coloring.

I hope everyone can get outdoors and enjoy earth’s bounty and beauty this spring and summer. I am looking forward to sharing my creativity with you so you can enjoy a time to relax and un-stress while enjoying the sunshine.

Blessings,
