Sunday Sketches - More Leaves

Welcome to Sunday Sketches! This quick sketch is done in my art journal in watercolour pencil
(5"h x 7"w). I called it 'More Leaves'.  Have a wonderful Sunday!  The Holiday season is upon us!

Do You Remember

Paint Party Friday - Fall Scene

Welcome to Paint Party Friday!  This is a 'Fall Scene' done in my art journal (5"w x 7"h) in watercolour pencil.  So are you starting to get ready for Christmas?  I get stressed just thinking about it.

Do you remember

These? They were a lot of fun at one time.

And have you seen the trailer for the new Disney Cinderella movie?  I'd love to see this one, I loved everything Cinderella as a child.

Porchetta

I found this pork shoulder roast stuffed with prosciutto at the grocery store the other day. It came in its own foil baking pan with its own meat thermometer inserted. All I had to do was bake it according to the instructions and remove it when the thermometer popped up! It was delicious, maybe a bit salty. I can bake my own meat but it was nice to try something different for a change.  Yes and it was perfectly roasted.

Creative Tuesdays - Dreams of December

Welcome to Creative Tuesdays! Michael's theme this week is 'Dreams of December'. It doesn't have to be about Xmas, it's whatever you're dreaming of for December. Here's my piece in my art journal in watercolour pencil (5"w x 7"h).  I decided to do a little angel ornament in pewter hanging off a snowy branch.  The sentiment here is one of Hope for the coming year.  At the last minute I added a touch of yellow sunshine to the vignette.

I could also have done mince pies with ice cream, I do dream of that in December!

HIV drugs show promise in treating common eye disease.
