Santa's Workshop.....

Hey all, I'm sorry it's been so long, we've had so much going on- first with computer problems, and then my daughter had her sweet sixteen last week and it was party, party, PARTY time around here!  This weeks I've been focused on getting the house back in shape, shopping and working on presents for my family.
I always do a pencil portrait for my Mom and this year I'm doing two.

 This one is of my little guy, back when he was little!  He just turned 12 this past Summer.....

 Another of Garrett as Groucho Marx, it's still in progress, but you can at least get an idea.....

Last but not least is a HUGE (at least for me ;)) portrait of my Dad and my girls- it's from one of my all time favorite pictures of us on our way home from getting the Christmas tree- and the Atlanta skyline is in the background as well as some Christmas tree branches.  I've got a ways to go on this one, but I have until Sunday afternoon, so I'm crossing my fingers and toes to get it done in time.

Now, I'm off to finish prepping for today's Christmas art camp.....we'll be singing "Oh Christmas Tree" and making a landscape of decorated evergreens as well as Picasso-ish Peace doves surrounded by Klimt-ish swirls of color.  I'l try to get back to share.

I sure have missed you guys in blog land!
