Sunday Sketches & New Year!

Good morning.  I'm terribly sorry but I've not been well the past few days and just realized it's Sunday!  Forgive me but let's postpone Sunday Sketches this week.

Here's to wishing everyone a wonderful, magical New Year in 2013!  :)

Paint Party Friday

This is a sneak peek (WIP) of the painting I'm working on for my roommate.  It's one of her Christmas pressies (yes, I'm late!).  :)  I think it's coming along really well and can't wait to complete it.

I'm off to rest as I've not been feeling well.  Both my roommate and best friend had the flu this past week and I fear it's taken it's toll on me.  Sigh. :/  I'll be back to visit everyone as soon as I can.  Hopefully, someone can add me to the list?!

Happy PPF!

Sunday Sketches

Hello and welcome to the last Sunday Sketches prior to Christmas!  :)  I've been enjoying getting back into the swing of things in the bloggie world and LOVING touching base with all my wonderful peeps again.

Above is another cuppa doodle artwork.  I'm really loving the challenge from doing artwork on paper/cup.  You should really try it some time!  Hee

OK.  Off to see what everyone else is doing.  Happy Holidays to everyone!  xx

PPF and Angels

It's so great to be back amongst my wonderful peeps and talented artists.  :)  I've finished Fall semester and now have 6 weeks to doodle and paint all I want! Yeah!

Above are two angels for a children's book I'm working on for another wonderful lady.  Looking forward to it's completion process and revealing the final project to everyone.

Here's wishing everyone a wonderful, holiday season!  xx

WOYWW - Feels Good!

Hooray!  Fall semester is completed and I've got 6 entire weeks to frollic in the snow, make art and do whatever I want.  Well, almost whatever I want!  Uh huh :D

Since I've last participated in WOYWW, I've found a way to rearrange my room and creating a cozy setting to doodle away at my desk.  What do you think?  I'm loving the view and have spent the past two mornings nestled up with a hot cuppa, Christmas music, my hot water bottle - all the while being surrounded by my wonderful art supplies.  Ahhhh...home at last!  Hee

OK.  I'm off to see what everyone else have been up to the past oh, two months!  :)

Sunday Sketches and CELEBRATION!

I've so many exciting things to share today.  Uh huh.  First thing, I received my final grades for all four of my Fall semester classes - all A's!  Can you say, OH MY GOD?!  :D  I couldn't stop crying as I was completely ecstatic but my heart also ached as I wanted to share such an achievement with my father.  (Most of you know he passed away last year from a terrible battle of cancer.)  I sure hope he can see me from heaven!  :)

Above are some pretties I've been working on, now that I'm on a 6-week winter break.  I had an art show yesterday and it turned out wonderful.  During the show, I collaborated with my wonderful friend Carmen, and we collected hats, gloves, scarves and backpacks for the local homeless.

OK.  Now off to see what everyone has been up to!  I can't wait to get back to a regular routine of art and peeps!  :)

Sunday Sketches

Welcome to another wonderful, creative week of Sunday Sketches.  I hope everyone had a good week.  It's been finals week for me.  I've one more term paper to write (4th one!) and one more final on Monday.  On an exciting note, I received a congratulations email from my Journalist professor saying -

"Alexandra --- You received the top grade this semester -- you did fine work and it was wonderful to have you in class."

 How exciting is that?!?!  I actually started crying at the table, with joy and sadness.  Joy for the accomplishment.  Sadness, for I couldn't share it with my father.  I sure hope he can see me in heaven.  I know he'd be proud of me.  (Tears)

The above photo is a new project I'm working on and hoping to have completed by my next art show next weekend.  Any guesses as to what I might be creating?  :)

OK, I can't wait to see what everyone else has been up to.  Please be patient with me in responding as I'm buried in studies for wrapping up my Fall semester.  Thank you for all of your warm thoughts and prayers.

Happy SS!

Sunday Sketches

Above are just a few doodles and what knots from this week.  I've been writing term papers like you wouldn't believe.  Only one more week of classes and then a wonderful 6-week winter break before the next semester begins.  Yeah! :)

Wishing everyone a delightful weekend.  Now, off to see what everyone else has been up to.
