Happy Sunday everyone!
For more great Sunday Sketches you can visit our wonderful hostess Sophia over at
Better yet, sketch something up and join us!
The above is a new piece I just started called 'Dreamweaver'
Still stretching myself this week, so I decided to try a downward glance and a slightly turned profile. Lots to learn I am finding, but it's fun to try different perspectives!
I had at first thought about trying to leave her hair white, but decided, (so far) to go with two shades: warm grey and a soft taupe color, with teal pieces worked in. This is of course still in the very preliminary stages, but you can get an idea of where I am going with her.
So having fun losing myself in this lovely lady in between baking cookies and apple pies for the brood!
This is last night's baking for family game night, which turned out to be a total blast! It is crazy busy and noisy here when the whole bunch is home, but so much fun to watch them interact, challenge each other, resolve disagreements, and just generally have fun.
Fun for Mama too as I am usually in the kitchen, baking and cooking, and just soaking up the richness that is having all of my children under the same roof!
(There may have been some wicked jeopardy tournaments going on too!)
Every so often I stop and reflect on my fortune at having found such a wonderful community among all of my blogger friends, and I have to say again, thank you so much for sharing your journeys and encouraging mine! Your thoughts and feedback are always so wonderful to read, and really enrich my life!
Wishing you all a fabulous and peaceful Sunday!

Yummy treats!!
And thank you! I feel the same way - what a wonderful community of blogger friends!

I love this gal, her down turned gaze, the beauty of her eyes and flighty hair. A true beauty.
Our blogging community really is a treasure, I must agree with you~
Your drawing is beautiful; she looks as if she is keeping a wonderful secret. And the things you have baked are making me hungry! Nice to meet you, Julie! Hugs and sparkles from Germany, Valerie
Very beautiful. I know how hard it is to sketch a 3/4 view profile and you have done an amazing job. And your pie and cookies are making my mouth water! Yum!
The girl is just beautiful!!
And all those yummies! I'm hungry.
Those baked treats look so yummy!
First time for me to see this different portrait. Love how you've done the eyes and facial features.
I love her eyes, it's beautifully drawn. happy sunday!
your sketches just get better and better! This is the best one yet! and I swear I can smell the apple pie and cookies. Yum! xoxo
Just lovely.
Beautifully soft and gentle. Have a look at the artwork on my blog today (not by me) - I think you could do one like this too - slightly haughty gypsy woman - about to dance to the fiddle by the camp fire! There - that's your challenge this week...
Okay, first of all I love the angle of the face! I need to branch out and try a few of those poses more often myself. Secondly those deliciously scrumptious baked goodies look delightful!! Enjoy your family day(O:
Julia, she's coming along really well. I love what you've decided to do with her hair. :) And hey, any of that warm apple pie left?!
You are such a bright light in the blogging world!
Today's beauty reminds me of someone... but I can't quite place who it is... It's going to drive me bananas!ha!
That pie looks marvelous - and the crust leaves are fantastic... almost too beautiful to eat... almost. hee hee
