It's good to be back.

I am now the proud owner of a set of watercolor pencils. I’m pretty happy with my first try at it but I have a long way to go. (Starbucks may never be the same!)

Adventures with Mighty Jake

May 1

Please help Jacob have the best birthday, this year! If any year you share his request for bday cards...this is it!! We are spreading awareness of Mitochondrial disease this year. So for those who do not know Jacob...he is turning 15 this year and is bed-bound with a terminal disease. This year has not been good to him...mainly the last few months. He is now on comfort care and we really need to make this bday special to help him and his spirits. Since he is bed-bound he does not request anything for his bday..except for cards. And so cards are what he wants and loves...so cards are what he is going to get!! Please help and spread the word! Share this post. Lets get his cards going this year. He has HUGE goal of 100,000. Of course, we will love as many as we get...but he would LOVE to reach that goal!!

Jacob Priestley PO Box 855 Queen Creek, Az 85142

My Starbucks is running a card drive for Jacob. These are the three I did. Please go to Jacobs FB page, say hello, send a card!

Sometimes art doesn’t come out the way we intend it. But if it makes someone happy then I guess that’s ok.

I have such wonderful friends! Thank you @withywindlesdaughter for the lovely hand drawn kitties! The two together are a portrait of my Mabel and Dootz! And you can see Dootz’s shadow over the second drawing, he was very impressed!

This snail turned out MUCH better!

Snail No 1 - ink pen and colored pencil, freehand.

Part of the five-drawing print series I am working on.

Sometimes things don't workout as planned, and the snail ended-up looking DOA when I was done. Oops! It’s all learning!
