LEGENDARY- ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY




Katie was legendary in our family for her love of "pasghetti". She would eat so much that I would ask her if she had a hole in her leg where the food fell out. She would always look and say no.

This was my first attempt to use photoshop. Thanks Jones A Palooza for your tutorial

INTRICATE




The dreaded science project - the ant farm. It reminds me of the time my devilish sister decided to shake the living life out of the ant farm until there was escapees.
For some reason color is not working on my computer today. ut oh

ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY - BREEZY





A long, long time ago, I used to love to hang my clothes outside in the warm summer sun and watch the breeze blow the sheets like sails. Every Monday was wash day unless it rained. Everyone in the neighborhood would hang their wash out. You would hear the squeeking of the clothes line wheel hanging them out and then taking them in. If it started to rain, your neighbors would come over and take them in for you Oh the good old days

MIMI AND MISS KITTY

Mimi has come to live with us. She thinks she is queen of the windowsill. She has been hoarding all of the sunshine and fresh air to herself and refuses to share with Miss Kitty. She spreads herself across the windowsill so that every possible inch of space is occupied by her.
