This photo of me and my furbaby, Kibbles, popped up on my Facebook memories the other day, and since it's one of my favorites and I needed something for sketching practice, I decided to try sketching us. Not a great likeness, but better than I expected.
I made the selfie the old fashioned way, a camera with a timer on a tripod! My mom made the lightweight patchwork quilt for us, and we wore it completely out. It was much loved! I didn't take time to fill in all the squares in the sketch.
The book I'm reading is actually Creative Pastels by Carole Katchen. I have several of her books from before Kindle and the internet, and they are all very good. I love her work! She happened to see the photo, which I shared on my facebook feed, thanked me for sharing her book and hoped Kibbles and I enjoyed it, and graciously offered to autograph them if I still have them. I do, but I had to give up my large studio, so they are packed away for now. I would have loved that though!
Original photo-I may try to paint this sometime! We'll see!
See ya next post! Thank you for visiting!
