Today is a big day, for several reasons. First of all, it's our "meetiversary"! Three years ago today (is it really only three?) the Darling Man and I crossed paths for the first time. The second time we met he brushed me off, and no, I'm never going to let him forget it.
It's also mid-October... more or less. We get thirty-one days this month, so finding the median point isn't quite as easy as divide-by-two, but SHEESH... am I THAT... erm... fussy?*
(*Repeat after me: Printmakers are a tad obsessive-compulsive. Just go with it.)
ANYWAY... in the world of the 100-thumbnails-a-month challenge October 15th means I should have 50 sketches done, and I'm pleased to report that I have 55. Presented for your perusal, sketches 46-55, created during some of the most stellar autumn afternoons I can remember... from a perch just across the Arkansas River from town. Hopefully the Blogger embiggen feature is working again and you can click to see the pages at actual size.
I finished another milestone today, too, but it's a longer and more sordid tale, so I'll save it for another post.

Congrats on the meetiversary! You are a hoot. I have shared your site with a dear nephew who wants to keep creativity in his life while going to school for criminal justice and ROTC. Don't you love it? I encouraged him to do thumbnails just like Sherrie York!
ReplyDeletei really like the fourth second thumbnail on the right in the first photo and third thumbnail on the left in the second photo :)
ReplyDeleteHey, Cathi... bring 'em on! Must. Do. More. Thumbnails. Maybe not JUST like me.... ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jennifer... I think that bottom left second page one is my favorite, too. Although I like the one above it, also.
I'm showcasing your and Val Littlewood's blog in my Natural History Illustration course tomorrow. Just so's ya know!
