I started a new job on Wednesday. I've been struggling to find the time to do all the things I used to do. To carve out some quiet time to sit down and focus on my art.

I've always loved making collages, but hadn't done any in a very long time. So last week I covered my table with pictures and magazine clippings and got to work. I had so much fun that I've left everything covering the table so I can go right back and make some more. 
It's been a little while since I posted...again. I've been trying to do some drawing every day. These are a few that I've done.      After working most of the day working in the office yesterday, I was finally free to catch up on some things here at home. Besides chores, I was able to finish a painting, do a little writing and make a new sketch. Here are the results of a day at home.  Marilyn  Red Dress Today was a perfect day - ok except for getting up with the alarm. But I only had to work a half day and came out to sun, bright blue clouds and mid 70 temperatures. I ate lunch outside, laid in the grass to read and came in and did some sketching.  I've been looking through some drawings and thought I'd share a few as I come across them. Here are two fashion sketches from a number of years ago.   This week was Paris Haute Couture Spring Summer Fashion Week. I've been looking forward to it for a while now. Couture should be about extravagance, detail and drama. So I've decided to highlight inspirational couture looks from the past and present.
