Last weekend I had the experience of fleshing, cleaning and stretching a fresh cow hide with my friend Bruce. It's not an activity for the faint of heart. He is making a community drum and I plan to continue helping him.
Pretty cool, eh?

At the Cross Roads
I'm really looking forward to the warming days when it will be comfortable enough for me to get outdoors and do some landscape painting! Until then, I'm playing a bit in my studio and making things like this:
I call this little piece "At the Cross Roads." It is an ACEO, but I'm framing them now and I think it makes a very nice presentation. I have another on the way and more in the works, so I hope you'll come back to see them!

More Herb Drawings
Our old cat Herb was one of the few cats that actually stayed still long enough for me to capture any meaningful sketches from life.



She was a good cat. Very large and very gentle. She was a sweetie-pie.
I've shared a painting and another sketch of her in past posts and I'll share more with the next post.
And if you love animals and can't get enough of them in all their forms, check out my friend Laura's blog, Purple Rose Musings, for her Wednesday updates from Raven's World.
