A Gift Pour Vous




Between all of the things I have to do these days there is often little time for moi. So many lovely things to do and not ever enough time. But as I so regularly point out to my man, it's not a matter of having the time but of making the time. Guess I should eat more of my own cooking. Anyhoo, in honour of these eloquent words of mine, I've decided to offer a gift to those of you who may by any chance want it. Depending on how many requests I get, it could take a while so I'll need your full and undivided patience. Here's the deal. Some of you may remember that I am artistically inclined (look around). However it has been some time since I have MADE the time to do much artwork. My first love is portrait art. So if you have a picture of yourself or family that you would like worked up please email it to me. I use mainly charcoal but could be convinced to try watercolour which I haven't touched since high school. I promise you it won't look anything like this, unless of course that's your thing and then who am I to judge; I am the freak who drew the damned thing in the first place. Pictured above are some examples of my work. I have done more, but I gave them away and never kept a copy for myself (doh!).

Weekend Viewing


Great Grandpa and baby.


My cousin's birthday...just 2 weeks before my daughter. My uncle and I are only 12 years apart and had our first children the same year.


My daughter watching her birthday balloons fly through the air.


Three cousins, all born the same year, having a rousing game of Dora dominos.



More 3 year old art. This is Smudge's 2nd portrait on doodle board.

Rembrandt or 2 Year Old?















A striking resemblance, no?
The munchkin's got promise.


...but on a much more depressing note, the sketch artist wanted to move on to Annie. Which is impossible because she was sent to the SPCA on Tuesday where she is sure to meet her demise. Shit-tey.
