I’ll be the first to admit I am a member of the “Wear Your Heart on Your Sleeve” club. Just like this little wolf and loving motherly owl. So I’m in good company!
You're the Apple of My Eye
You're the Apple of My Eye 11"x14" watercolor on paper
This happy trio has spent the afternoon in the apple orchard, picking apples, reading, taking the occasional photograph, and (as the evidence of blankets and baskets would suggest) enjoying a hearty picnic lunch. There really is no sweeter way to pass a day than this.
On this cold and wintery January day, I am most certainly with them in my heart of hearts.
Picnics in Winter
The beginnings of things.
Also, my thoughts are officially on spring now thanks to this fun little picnic taking place.
A Parliament Owl
A Parliament Owl 5"x7" watercolor & ink on paper
When a group of owls are gathered they are called a Parliament. Here's a barn owl who is a practicing student of law, in all of his powdered wig goodness.
Inktober: Day 7
A gathered group of owls are called a parliament, and I couldn't resist. Tucked under a wing is his book of law, and he is residing over the local Aviary Parliament.
Rambling Jack Rabbit
Rambling Jack Rabbit 7"x7" Watercolor, gouache & ink on paper
Rambling Jack has wanderlust and loves a good adventure. Most rabbits are content to stay in their woods and fields, but Jack is on his way to see the world. Right now he is going to visit his Aunt Hattie and three little cousins, Elliot, Rose, and Buttons.
He's asking directions from a local owl, as Jack had heard they are supposed to be very wise.
A Wise Old Owl
A detail of an illustration featuring a rabbit with wanderlust, (as previously promised).
Here's the wise old owl he's asking directions from.

New painting coming soon: "Rambling Jack Rabbit"
Here is my sketch of the traveling bun, Jack Rabbit. I'm smitten with this 'fella.
I'll share the painting with all of you shortly. Until then... happy trails!
