All together, 2024's drawing project, broken, seaworn, and stunningly beautiful models. The centre bottom drawing I changed to greyscale for the ensemble, I think I prefer the softer greys to it's original blues. 

For 2025's drawing project I think I am going to go with the theme of spirals so I am sure (well I know there will be) there will be some shells in there amongst the subjects - maybe some will be whole this time. As this month is racing along I think I will need to make a start very soon. I can't quite believe how quickly time has passed since my last post!


I haven't been resting on my laurels quite the whole time, lots of plans have been made and a new project started. Life has just been getting a little bit in the way but onwards and upwards and all that. Anyway, a very happy new year to you all I wish you a happy, healthy and creative 2025.

Lisa these are all so stunning. Honestly it would be hard to decide which is a favorite. Your pencil work is just beautiful. As always the sea influences your work. I am looking forward to seeing where your spirals will take you. Have a lovely weekend. Hugs!

Numbers 2, 5 and 9 are my favorites of these. There is something decidedly feminine around shells, whether they are whole or broken. Hope your winter is going well and you are coping with any weather coming your way. We are still digging out from our largest winter storm and now temperatures going down to below 0 Fahrenheit :( Brrrrr!!!

Good morning Debbie, thank you so much. The first spiral is on the drawing board, challenging and fun at the same time. Best wishes.

Hi Rhonda, I had hoped that you had thawed a little but it seems not. The weather has felt extreme this year, we are in for a windy and very wet time starting today and finishing at the weekend. Fingers crossed for a little winter sun for you.
I loved drawing no.9 - all those barnacles were such a joy! Best wishes.
