We have a winner!

My friend Marjorie came over today and helped me choose a winner for the drawing.  Marylinn Kelly, you have won your own copy of Carla Sonheim's book, Drawing Lab for the Mixed Media Artist!!!!!  Congratulations!  Please send me an email with your mailing address, so we can get one sent off to you.   Thank you, everyone for stopping by, and for your comments.  I do so love the visits!

A hot, dry wind is blowing today, keeping the temps just a bit cooler (86 degrees Fahrenheit at 7:41 pm.)  The sun has just set, and I still have an unfinished painting on my easel. 

So, quickly, a jackrabbit from the sketchbook.  8 1/2 x 7 inches, Charcoal and gesso.  This was a study for "Surprise."  from last week's post.

Happy Thursday, everyone, and congratulations to our winner, Marylinn Kelly!  Thanks to everyone who participated. 

Drumroll, Please...

Other bloggers have had their pets help them pick the winner for their giveaways, and since Matthias is out of town, I decided Pono could help me. So I wrote down all the names on a piece of paper, cut the paper into little pieces, and spread them out on the kitchen floor. This is what happened:



I guess it isn't really that interesting for dogs. At least, it isn't nearly as interesting as that itchy part of a leg that needs chewing on. So I sweetened the deal a little for mister Pono, by putting a tiny bit of peanut butter in the corner on each and every piece of paper. It worked!!! Pono picked a winner, and the winner is....
NANCY of Nancy Medina Art!!!!! Congratulations, Nancy! Please email your address to me at weenfish@gmail.com so I can mail your lizard to you. Thank you everyone who left a comment. And stay tuned. I may do another because that was so much fun!!!

Sorry I didn't post another video of Pono actually choosing the winner. I was having trouble directing and filming at the same time. I guess this film making stuff is not for me!
