IF - Perennial

I was on the last page of a Juliette story when I checked the Illustration Friday theme: Perennial.

Definition:
1. present at all seasons of the year.
2. a. persistent, enduring. b. continuing without interruption: constant. c. regularly repeated or renewed.

I call on all cat owners out there to support my case that this is a perfect example of perennial activity:

2nd Set of Framed Watercolors

This is the 2nd set of my mother's watercolor, ready and framed for a coffee shop show next month.
These images will also find their way into her zazzle shop PurpleCactusPainting as I get time to do so.

Sketchbook Project 2012 page 4

This is the sketch for page 4. I'm thinking ink with a light watercolor wash... will see, might change my mind as I get it going.

Sketchbook Project page 3 Finished

I finished coloring this page last night. The previous page had some glued elements to it and this showed through while coloring -something to remember, next time I'll hold off and do the following page before gluing things down.
Not too much of a big deal though, as this is in the spirit of a sketchbook afterall.

Done in color pencil.

Sketchbook Project 2012 page 3

Last couple days of school is movie day -which makes the kids self-sufficient for the most part, and since I'm ahead of the pack with my grading, I decided to give myself time to color. Here's how far I got on this page:

Page 2 of the sketchbook done today.
Looking at it now I might add a couple details to it, like coloring the sign yellow and possibly the cat for example, or something else -not sure yet, so here it is as it is for now.

Setting Up A Show For Mom

I'm getting a bunch of my mother's watercolors ready for a show in July.
I spent the afternoon cleaning out frames and pieces of glass (even dropped on... yikes) and here is the first set.
