Note: Mr. Linky fixed now. My apologies.
Good morning and welcome the first SS of 2012. Wow! Can you believe it?
I hope each of you had a lovely Christmas holiday and things are beginning to settle down after all of the hustle and bustle over the last few months.
Above is some more Beatrix Potter (practice) paintings. I've actually a few watercolours going now and am looking forward to sharing the completed projects over the next week or two. But, there's nothing like using Ms. Potter to get back into the swings of things. :)
OK...off to visit everyone else. Happy SS!

Heeeey! I didn't bring in just sketches this time, but my illustrations to kick off the new year. I'll go above and beyond for my art in 2012 and I hope you'll all see my little rants on animation as well.
ReplyDeleteHappy new year sweetie! Hope it's the best year you've ever had.

Hi Sophia!!! Happy New Year!!!! lovely work but your linky thing is expired .....can you update this!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think it is completely perfect that you are beginning this New Year with a new addition to your Potter series, something old, something new, this series a healing transition - it feels animate, alive, welcoming, even embracing of springlike joy and creativity ~ which is how I always feel on New Years morning though i realize we are in the deep of winter. There is a feeling of cozy, the happiness of childhood when wishes are but a means to an end, new beginnings and wonder. Be well, look forward, embrace life! Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year my friend. May blessings shine upon you!
ReplyDeleteNo sketch from me today - I got a bit engrossed with cleaning the house and my word for 2012!
What a great way to start getting into the swing. I have found Zen doodles and try to quilt them now. Still in the rough but will focus on them this year. Its something I truly like! Darling girl, wishing you the most peaceful and calm year ever. Much love, Paula
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Sophia!!!
