Making A Mark

Doing a bookmark as a self imposed assignment helped
me practice some basics while learning to do my drawing, 
painting, and designing work on the computer. 

Still Having Blog Issues

For a moment thought I'd solved the blog problems.
Then I realized, not so fast.
Whatever this is.... I will overcome.


Thanks for staying with me.

my unpublished sample illustration from a Russian folktale

Gone Fishing

         

A Shore Thing

Rolling waves 

Softening 

in the shallows

Swirling round my ankles

Moving sand under my toes 

Filling my pail

Adding shells and popping seaweed

Cooling sea breeze 

Just writing this brings relief 

From the sweltering city

Sense Of Humid

my illustration from WHAT WILL THE WEATHER BE? by Lynda DeWitt

Genetically predisposed to living in a colder climate.

All familial ancestors of whom I am aware, originated 

in or around Belarus and St Petersburg, Russia. 

Extreme Philadelphia heat (90+ degrees) along with

extreme Philadelphia humidity, a complete anathema.

Seeking relief everywhere possible including some

portfolio images.
