Thistle Blossom

Thistle Blossom
Digital Snapshot

Why should I show you a very bad drawing when I can show this beautiful snapshot of one of my favorite weed blossoms? I paused to snap this pretty Canada Thistle blossom Friday while walking a neighborhood trail. Yes, I have a pen and ink of it, but I'm not so very pleased with the drawing.

Welcome to Barbara's Sketch Book and Photo Album!

At last! My own personal place to show off my work and speak my mind. This is like a giant refrigerator for me, where I can paste up my daily sketches. No, they are not great sketches, but to me they are memorable. I'm a student artist. This blogspot will be my incentive to keep working and growing in my fine art skills. My goal is to post daily, or almost daily sketches. Sometimes I may post small format paintings or even larger works. My best work is in pastel portraits, but you won't see many of them here. When I get lazy with sketching, I will probably be out snapping pictures for possible photo reference. I aim for good composition as well as interesting content in my snapshots. You will probably see a lot of these. So welcome to my page! I hope you will come back often.
