Sketching

l hope to get back to a more regular content here, best laid plans!

I’m enjoying sketching after a rest from it, but as you may know my inspiration stopped nearly a year ago with the loss of William (look back in this blog if you are new here).

We are lucky that our daughter has her little dog, Dottie, and our son/daughter-in-law, have Barney.  Both dogs come to visit and stay with us from time to time, so my opportunity to sketch their antics is always available.   Dottie visiting recently and in particular.  I mean, the name alone is enough to give a clue!

This is from photo reference but Dottie tends to…be ‘Dottie’, with her Naughty Bottom pose, so I Sketched it…..a very quick, line sketch, nothing detailed…



you can see the pose here ⤵️

I'm glad you get to spend some time with Dottie and Barney, that's a great pose from Miss Dottie. Aww William, he will never be forgotten xx

Robin.......haha...definitely the Dog! lol

Eileen.....Dottie and Barney help us more than they realise, there isn't a day goes by when we don't mention William - but we like to think that's a positive thing :)

That's great to see you sketching! And you have the perfect models in your life! My son just lost his dog a week ago, and I understand the missing.

Judy.....thanks, it's good to be back to sketching. So sorry about your son losing his dog, it's a heartbreaking thing to go through šŸ’”

You've been missed! Glad you have picked up the pen once again. Dottie and Barney are such good subjects to sketch.
