First drawing of my very own pet mouse



My first drawing of my mouse, who I haven't named yet. This is done on Art Spectrum Colourfix Paper in colored pencil and pastel with a touch of gouache for the eye shine and measures 5.5 inches x 2.5 inches. This drawing is for sale on eBay, click drawing to go there.

I also decided to put her on a coffee mug in my Zazzle store.

Well I am off, thanks for reading my blog!

ACEOs and Art Stores



Above are my two newest ACEOs featuring a rat as a bat and a rat hiding behind a tombstone. These are for sale now on eBay, you can click on them to go to the auction.

I bought some colored pencils yesterday in an art store and when I got home I found that some of them just keep breaking as I sharpen them, it's very annoying. I even put them in the microwave a few seconds to see if that would help, but not really. I had also bought a smooth bristol pad and am working on a Halloween rattie. Thought it would be interesting to try a different surface to draw on for a change.

Finally got to go to the Fairway Market, my mom had read a book on it and wanted to see it. It had a lot of cheeses and olives and the produce is set up so neatly! It's kinda far so I won't get back too often but it was nice to see and I know where to go if I need a particular type of cheese.

It is getting a bit too cold in good old NJ. One minute you're too hot and the next too cold. I wish the weather would change more gradually so you could get used to it. Winter used to be my favorite season but not so much anymore!

I am happy that my Zazzle shop has been getting some sales!

If you got this far thanks for reading and have a great day.
