Happenings

 Winter may be giving us it's final dance but Mom gave me some spring today.          

                                 

These lovely pink hydrangeas were a "just because I love you" gift.  Something to chase away the last of winter's chill.  May have to get my brushes out and paint a few of the blossoms.


Shelby our new baby is doing well.  Growing like a bad weed.

We are working every day with the lead.

 

Hubby took some quick shots of us stepping out.

 Not a lot of time in the studio but did manage this quick sketch .

 

Used a bit of pen an ink, watercolor and watercolor pencil on stonehenge.   I like this paper.  It takes watercolor washes...has a nice texture for colored pencil, graphite and pen and ink.

 

Well that's all my happenings.    Hope yours are good.   Stop back soon.

God Bless!   

Studio Time

 There was very little time spent in the studio this week.    Yesterday I managed to do a couple of small watercolor sketches.    Creative moments are hard to find these days.

Raising a puppy is a full time endeavor.   It has been nine years since we had a new baby.  I had forgotten what it is like house training, teaching them to sit and setting boundaries.   You would think after countless puppies one would not forget the tricks of the trade.  

 

Of course each is different and like all of us they have their own individual personalities.

What I have learned through trial and error is consistency and sticking to a schedule pays high dividends. 

 

German Shepherds are working dogs and with the right training they make delightful companions.   They are extremely intelligent and want to please you.

 

Shelby at seven weeks is already learning to sit and come when we call her.   There is a lot of work to be done.   God willing in a year from now she will make us an excellent pet. 

 

Along with learning some of the basic commands she is finding her place in the pack as well.    

 

   

 Sarge is certainly showing her how to follow the leader.    Thank you for taking time to visit.    Best go for now Shelby is in need of a nature break.   God Bless!
