Juniper

These days, when I have a chance to sit down and do a little art, I jump at the chance! This summer will be busy with work and activity. 

This little doll is Juniper. She is a Bernese Mountain dog that belongs to my aunt. I used Prismacolor pencils for this one and completed it in about three sittings. I am excited to surprise my aunt with this drawing. 

In other news, I was recently nominated, along with a few of my favorite artists, as one of the Idaho Statesman's "Best of Treasure Valley." (In the Artist category.) One of my girlfriends brought it to my attention—I had no idea! And, it looks like we will be headed to Boise for the unveiling of the winners in each of the categories in June. What an honor! I am excited to just have made the list! 

Stay tuned for more drawings and paintings. I am working to set some time aside each week for my "sanity break." Happy Saturday!
