October Sketches

 Fall is officially here in Ohio!

The weather is cooler and leaves are changing... and the sun is shining! 

Before long farmers will be in the fields reaping the harvest 

and families will be picking out pumpkins to carve...

Here's a sketch I did Wednesday evening in the spirit of the season...

...and here it is after I added watercolors this morning.

Much better!

Here's my work-in-progress...

I envisioned this as a home added on to over time.  

The Saltbox could've been built in the 1800's, 

but the front porch added some time in the Victorian era.

I'm happy with the house itself, but now I think it needs something going on it the background... or does it?  What are your thoughts?

I had to share this pencil drawing by my daughter 

for her Kindergarten teacher.

 

She brought the drawing up to me and asked,

"Can you just help me write the words?" 

So we sat down together, and she carefully wrote every letter, 

and then gave them extra beauty with curls or feathers.

It took awhile to finish it ~ but she was so proud 

to give this drawing to her teacher!

I know that was a lot, but it's been a busy week!

Happy PPF!
