A Peek Inside (My Moleskine, that is)
So..... this is supposed to be a blog about art, but so far I haven't made any art today, since I have spent so darn long trying to figure out how to set up my blog about art!
I am hoping to head over to the Wetcanvas! site and work on something new, inspired by this weekend's WDE- if not this evening, then tomorrow.
If interested, you can check out the WC! event by clicking on this link to the All Media Art Events forum and reading about how the Weekly Drawing Events work:

Here are a few of my art journal entries from my Moleskine sketchbook, done over the past few days. They are all done in pen and watercolor, with watercolor pencil, and on the first one, a bit of added gouache.
Connor is my great-nephew, and is such a joyful little guy. We had all of the family here over the past weekend, and he had us smiling, even when we didn't feel so much like it.
The abstract journal piece above was something I did to help me express some of the feelings I was experiencing, just a week after my mom passed away. I am keeping that one a small size so that it won't be easily read, because the writing feels a little bit too personal to share, but I thought I'd still share it for its design, and just so you can see what I've been up to lately.
Here is a quick little watercolor of one of my dogs, Sofie, in her usual lazy posture. Sofie epitomizes a couple of the "seven deadly sins," mainly slothfulness and gluttony. She is a bit on the portly side, due to her counter-surfing ways, but she's pretty darn irresistable, too.
Finally, here is a work in progress, started yesterday, and still incomplete. It is a modern take on one of Dante Gabriel Rosetti's paintings, titled Beata Beatrix: 
There are parts I
like about her and parts that I don't.
I wasn't really striving for a likeness, but I don't like what happened to her chin, and I'd like to warm her up a bit, and increase the darks. Still this is just a little watercolor and pen sketch in my sketchbook and has its limitations, I thought she looked like an angel, and that was why I was drawn to this painting to work from.
I was leaving the bottom left corner for some writing, but might wash over that part first so that it is not so stark.
More later this weekend!

Hello Lori, I haven't been to many website/blog sites. Must admit to being quite impressed that my friend and birthday buddy has one all set up!
You are a class act all the way!
All the best to you, Terry

Lori,
Your impression of Connor is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your home with us during such a difficult time for me. Spending quiet time thinking of what to say during the memorial service really brought the reality of grandma's death to the forefront. I realize that my sadness around her death stems from not only what I will miss from her in my life ahead, but also what I missed in what was left behind. I'm glad I could be around such a great family to not only mourn the death of a wonderful person, but to have joy in knowing that she is in a better place now. I'm glad you have an outlet for expression in your art. You are a remarkable aunt. Love, Kevin
