I showed this sketch done a month ago to my colleague, Anne Dennison, at Maine College of Art.
I'd put her adorable niece into my Sketchbook Project 2013, eating a cookie from Katie Made Bakery. My theme this year is favorite shopfronts around Portland.
It gave her the idea to commission me to do a portrait as a gift for her sister. So I did, in pastel.
Kyler is one very, very cute girl; hope I have captured even an ounce of that. Thanks, Anne!
It was my last "to do" before beginning the whirl of making merry.
Out came the vintage table cloth from my mother and just in time for some new snow.
In a flurry of flour and cookie cutters, I made sugary stars for neighbors.
We put some holiday props on the door.
It was a quiet but magical Christmas day, full of surprise gifts and fuller bellies.
A clear and calm Boxing Day brought this pair of curious boxers to the island.
Gloves off, everyone.
Daisy drew this festive Dalek for our guests.
And we gifted this bold poster by MECA student Miles Cook:
With a good dose of the Doctor, we were ready for the oncoming storm.
What a brilliant day to make tracks. Or, some new lines in my Sketchbook Project.
Happy New Year! May 2013 bring peace, good health, and more merry making for all.
