Female Portrait Drawing, Otherwise

I've been working on this video since August.   Interruptions and life changes happened and finishing it was postponed.  I used archival ink pens and watercolor for the female portrait drawing.



I hope everyone had a good weekend.  I've been absent from my blog for a while, but I hope to be posting more often.

I'm joining Sophia's Sunday Sketch blog hop.  Visit her blog to join and view everyone's lovely sketches.

The first part includes my music with a mac garageband loop in the background.  Music for second and third parts was done by me. The poem is by Jane Kenyon.

Very moving video, sketch, music and poem, Juana... it all really ripples across the heartstrings. I've long loved the poetry of Jane Kenyon...it was so sad when she passed. And I know you much still be in a fragile place...But so good to see you back here and your work. :o) Thinking of you ((HUGS))

bird watching and staying home for the summer

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport.

I didn't give her any tranquilizer to sedate her. Yet, she was quiet the entire flight and went unnoticed by other passengers. I h
