I haven’t been drawing much lately, been so busy it seems… but here I am again.  This little watercolor is for Illustration Friday’s word “Impossibility”.  I would love to be up in that hut… alone for a little while… but it seems like an impossibility….

This one’s for my friend Chuck. We were discussing dogs, and if we got one… what it would be. His dog would be a Vienna Sausage, with toothpick legs and peppercorn eyes. A red balloon would help him be part of the family… floating around the house…

Illustration Friday – Packed

Packed
I have my suitcase packed and I’m ready to leave behind the places and feelings of the past…. I’ve visited the town of “guilt”, the river of “deceit” and black cloud city. The past is packed up and I’m burning out of town.

packed suitcase

This is dedicated to my good friend Lisa :) We have used the idea of packing our worries away in a briefcase or suitcase and hanging it out the car window, and it catching on fire since we were teenagers. Just say goodbye to those black clouds and head on down the highway.
