3.141592653589793238462643383279… Let me just stop there and wish you a Happy Pi Day! Or as I prefer to call it… PIE Day! If ever there was a day to obtain a pie and eat the entire thing, today is the day!
Illustration Friday - Fire
It was a chilly night, and the family gathered around the fireplace. Francois was sitting in his comfy arm chair, reading his newspaper. His trusty beagle, Sir Tug, was curled up at his feet beside his cat, Mr. Snuffles, who was softly purring. Sir Tug was always a very comfortable pillow during Mr. Snuffles’ naptime. Sir Tug’s snoring could barely be heard over the roar of the fire, and the warmth filled the room with a glow. It certainly wasn’t chilly inside.
Illustration Friday - Hero
Captain Pawsome kept a watchful eye over the city of Catropolis. All the citizens felt safe knowing their hero was always close at hand and would thank him for his dedication and protection with purrs of appreciation and gift baskets filled with tuna cakes and catnip flowers.
Illustration Friday - Wall
Timmy felt at home among his books and his elaborately-decorated gallery wall celebrating his favourite tree. He loved to curl up in his favourite chair while reading a good book and sipping on a cup of nutty chestnut tea with a hint of chamomile and a splash of hazelnut milk.
Illustration Friday - Game
We have two squirrels that have claimed our yard: one big grey squirrel we have named Thomas, and the other, a smaller red squirrel we have named Timmy. Whether they are friends or not, we don’t know, but if they were, maybe they would find time for a friendly game of checkers.
Happy 2019!
Happy new year, everyone!
A new year, a new beginning. It always prompts me to think about things I want to do differently this year. Last year, I was able to complete a large project I had been working on for awhile, and this has left me feeling free… free to dive back into my personal work again. I am quite excited for what the new year might bring!
Along with the usual resolutions of eating healthier and being more active, I hope to create and share more or my personal art with you. Two words I’ve picked to help shape my goals this year are consistency and simplify. I would like to be more consistent with taking time each week to work on personal art. I also have a history of overcomplicating everything I want to do… so let’s keep it simple, stupid.
Here’s to a new year and a new opportunity to continue shaping my career as an artist. Thank you to everyone who continues to follow along with me on my journey… your support does not go unnoticed and I appreciate it so much!
With much gratitude,
Nicole
