The post INSIDE STORY: Authors & Illustrators, bookshops across the World appeared first on Susanne Gervay's Blog.
I headed to Parables for book browsing and grabbed one off the shelf to sketch. I haven't read it, but liked the cover so it became part of my prop along with my new handbag and leather pencil case which I carry with me at all times. I love to capture moments whenever I have the opportunity.
Today it rained and snowed simutaneously and was relatively warm (low 40's) and you needed and umbrella however by the time I left the office for home it had turned to freezing and I had to scrape the windows. I cranked up the heat and my feet have finally thawed. Not a good idea to stand in snow and ice while scraping your windows. I should have had boots on but who was to know?
Joining in the fun of the
Self Portrait Party. Ok, so my chin is not that saggy but what do you expect from a half of a blind contour?
While in a business meeting offsite I noticed the decorating style of the room I was in and fell in love with the wall lighting fixtures and thought they would be perfect in one of the new rooms in our home so I quickly did a sketch on the hotel's signature paper they supplied for the meeting. Don't you just love it? And I have the perfect spot for it.
Ok, so your thinking I should have been paying more attention in the meeting? I was! I actually have created some of my best illustrations while watching a movie or listening to a program or music. It's part of my multi-tasking personality. And, the CEO was watching me sketch and seemed to like the sketch too when I showed it to him.
Love to see you there.
Wonderful!
Beautiful!
Maggie, this is such a lovely drawing and your colours are so rich, enjoy that bag.
Great composition! How did you do that wonderful surface on the purse? Looks so perfect.

sweet sketch Maggie
Thanks for stopping by my photoblog. I enjoyed your comments. You like Shel Silverstein...I do too. I searched out a rare copy of "Uncle Shelby's ABZ Book". It's a hoot. It's a child's primer. I will never forget the letter E. He say's something like this... "E is for Ernie, a genie who lives in the ceiling. Ernie likes to eat eggs. Would you like to feed Earnie?" How funny is that?
