the sketchbook

Yes, it’s official, I have class.  Oh, I’m not bragging about my style or lack there of.   I’m talking about school!  Last week I started a French Wash extension class at Pasadena City College.   Let me tell you it’s a lot of fun!

Today we brought in the work that we started in the first class then worked on during the week.  As with all courses you had some people that had worked on their project and some that hadn’t.  I was in the had group as I have time to do stuff like that right now.  I was trying to keep my head low and just be another student but when people saw my piece some eyebrows were raised and my cover was totally blown.  One of my fellow students even asked me what I was doing in that class?   I him answered honestly and said “having fun drawing and learning a new technique.”

What a wonderful way to spend a Sunday morning.

Easter has come again and I am just a bit blue.  Oh not that it’s Easter or that I have just turned another year older (yes I feel there are more birthdays behind me than there are left ahead) but the Easter e-card that I was working on just didn’t work out.  I guess the greatest plans made by man can be put aside by a temperamental computer.  It’s okay though as I still have all of the illustrations for the card and now I have an entire year to get this one working properly.

Let’s all just take a deep breath and enjoy this lovely albeit cloudy (at least here in Southern California) Easter Sunday.
