Illustration Friday - Rain

This is a pen & ink picture I did many years ago, treated with Photoshop for the rain effect. A cat snoozing away a rainy day makes me think of hot tea or cocoa, a roaring fire and a good book. A far cry from this week's hot weather!

Illustration Friday - Portrait

1st try

2nd try







I have always had the automatic disclaimer "I don't do people", until a few years ago a friend of mine brought a picture of her granddaughter to work and I suddenly found myself strongly drawn to do a painting of it. I've included my first and second attempts here. Although I do like the looser, almost sketchy feel of the first one, my second try is much more of an actual likeness to my subject.
