This is wonderful I love him! Haha, but i love the ouse even more! He sure looks surprised, I wonder what stylish Kitty is writing..

Thanks, Ali! I don't know-- I don't speak cat! ;-)

i really like all these little 'spots'....are you doing them for something in particular or just exercises. i have to wonder if these are all connected somehow in some kind of little mystery we need to figure out...

So precious and delicate Jen! My favorite is the hat and flowers :o)

Thanks, Christine! Yeah-- I was trying to figure out the connection myself! Really, these were just little sample exercises. Will have to figure out a mystery to go along with them...

Gracias, Ali! :-)

Oh I love her. I think is a she.. ;o)

I like taking notes on books too as opposed to the computer. I have a calendar in my Macbook but instead I use my little 1$ calendar that I bought on Michael's, to make notes and write on it :o)

Yes, Ali-- she's a she! And I'm the same way-- very low-tech. ;-)

Oh.. I'm loving wednesdays now!!! ;o)

This is too cute Jen! I love the movement too!

That's one happy pig.

I am liking Noir et Blanc Wednesdays too.

Love the Piggy painter!

too fun, i like the b/w wednesday's too. aside from the beret, snout, curly tail, cloven hooves and pointy ears, this is what i look like when i paint..LOL

Thanks, Alicia!

And merci, or rather, gracias, Frank!

Thanks Phyllis!

And thanks Christine! So, yes, I could see you smiling and covered in paint, for sure! ;-)

It is very cute!

Look! it's a bird, it's a plane.. NO It's a speeding cow!!!

Hahaha love this Jen! How did you ever think of this? Love it, love it, love it :o)

Thanks, Carli! Glad you stopped by! :-)

Watch out, Alicia-- she's not too coordinated! And the answer is... I don't know... just trying to shake up my work a bit! ;-)

A very cheerful cow having lots of fun.......
He can hang out with my elephant....
(word verification is
COWDE!!)

Haha-- that's funny, Elizabeth! Word verification with a sense of humor!

A "Happy Cow?" Must be from California - right? At least that's what the ads say.

Hi Rick-- I had to google that-- hadn't heard it before! Thanks for stopping by. :-)

Beautiful Jen!! I love the tree!
How great the story about your dad :o)

What a super blog, great illustrations you have a very appealing style :)

This brings back wonderful childhood memories! Sometimes, it is hard to imagine such a relaxed time in this crazy busy world we live in. THanks for sharing.

Thanks, Alicia! Yes, that tree was a great one for using the imagination.

And thanks so much for your kind comment, Bee. Glad you stopped by!

I know what you mean, Lisa. Ahh, to be a kid again! At least we have our imaginations, no? :-)

wonderful work Jen!!! I love the tree and all the details...great work!!!

I love this one...the shape and size of the tree brings back memories of the neighborhood I grew up in...my childhood home would be around 100 yrs old now. I love those old neighborhoods.

Have a happy break and enjoy summer.

Thanks, Diana!

And thanks, Kate! I know what you mean about those old neighborhoods. Ours was a cul-de-sac with tons of kids... a really wonderful place to grow up.

Lovely sense of movement and I love the excited expressions!

Thank you, Jess!

Very nice! I'm enjoying all the black and white work you're sharing. And refreshing to see a girl on a skateboard too!!!

Very cool, I like the combination of line work and washes.

Thanks, Gina! I just realized she's not wearing a helmet. Oh well, we never did as kids (thus the stitches and scar under my eyebrow... ;-)

Thanks, Ryan!

I really love black and white, sometimes more than color.

Well I refuse to ignore your "silly musings.." he, he.. this is great. I love the washes and the shading.. oh and her flip flops too! :o)

Hi Paola-- Me too. It can be so much more dramatic sometimes.

Well thanks, Alicia! You know how it is... working on your own... you start thinking about all sorts of stuff! :-)

We're FINALLY into flip flop season here... doing a happy dance!

i like this, but i'm a big fan of skateboards, never mind that she's not wearing safety gear, we never did as kids and we turned out ok!

Heck yeah, Christine! :-)
