Practice Sketch of Caleb (age 2) Posted by Hello

Snow Day

Can you believe it? Today is the first day of December and our first snow day. No school. No work. Well, almost. I still have to go in later to get things ready for tonight's Advent service. Still part of a day off is better than no day off. Yippee! That means I have a couple of extra hours to draw.

Last night I worked on a sketch of my grandson. It's not finished and I'm not happy with the proportions so I think I'll call this a practice sketch and move on to something else.

A hot cup of coffee sounds good. I think I'll go unearth my drawing grids and light box while I'm waiting for the pot to brew. Maybe the smell will wake the sleeping around here.

If I can convince my husband and daughter to bring the Christmas tree in from the garage maybe we can get that up by tonight. Yesterday they rearranged the living room. Had to make room for a 6 foot singing and dancing Santa Clause that my husband fell in love with AND it was on sale. I kid you not. Karaoke Santa lives in my family room.

All this snow makes it official! Christmas is on its way!!
