I seem to have a lot of blank, spankin' new sketchbooks lying around the house (I have a problem) and I decided to use one of them to document my lovely neighborhood of Irvington. I've been dying to draw this interesting church in the area so this weekend I braved the heat to sit in the dirt and get it in the book. However, after about an hour and a half of drawing...I went running for some cool air indoors. I will get back to it this weekend and get the color on.

First blog post... here I am

Well, the site is up and running... very exciting. I'm currently working on some new pieces to upload and I'm working on an idea for a children's book.

The Pain Continues: Day Two

Sunday I left my hotel and went directly to see the friendly faces of the bike mechanics at LL Bean's bike shop (which is open 24 hours a day every day of the year... just so you know). I was in search of a product that only bikers (and perhaps other stupid people that spend hours sitting on a tiny seat) know about.... Chamois Butter. Now if you have never needed the services of said product I won't go into details of it's use, but for those of you who know... this was an emergency. The boys of LL Bean were very helpful and full of understanding for my dilemma. Thanks guys!! The rest of my day was full of head winds and hills... my favorite, but also an amazing dish of crabcakes and later a fabulous Lobster Newburg... no calorie counting for me!!! I had a great time hanging out with Ms. Bethany Plissy and the very soft bed in her sister's house. So far so good. Oh, and Milage count: Day One: 67.5 miles Day Two: 48.5 miles Total: 116 Miles

Day Eight: Single Girl Isolation

Image
I think this, being the end of the second week of stay home, my isolation crazy is showing. My poor dog is taking the brunt of my weirdness and I find myself having full (if not one-sided) conversations with her. Today she looked at me as though I was a nutter and I realized this is the look I needed to capture. Thanks dog friend...let's keep chatting.
