One of my goals is to practice doing quick sketches of children. This is one of my grandson Henry that looks a lot like him. He’s a true wiggle worm often twisting himself up like a pretzel so it’s difficult to get a likeness even when he’s watching tv.

Another goal is trying to draw an image with a few lines. I used to use what is called a searching line which is actually multiple lines. Now I try to use a few lines. Sometimes with success sometimes a mess.

L-R Chip, Honey and Wesley.

Three more dogs in need of paint. Two more to do then Santa is done.

A lot of baking too. Mincemeat tarts aka deliciousness.
