Mugsley and Teddy Ink and wash

I guess I cannot get back to watercolor sketching without getting into ink and wash. This is our precious dog, Mugsley. He is usually a lazy dog, but even in his sleepy mode he is a mover. This was a fun little sketch I did while my daughter eat some breakfast. I did the other one of her precious toy, Teddy which is actually a monkey, shortly later and she could not resist adding some fun of her own with her little sketch of Mugsley on the same page as Teddy.

Life has been a bit full these past many months. I was on Mountain Solitude this morning realizing that I have left many of my life-embracing things (art and music) behind me and I long for them often. I try to integrate them back in, but there are so many other demands out there. I have also been missing my long time companion and even brought in the children's dog that usually sleeps in a kennel to sleep with me on Friday night. Here is a picture of my long time pet, Lucky, who died two months ago. I am praying and I think God has revealed some light on how I can integrate some of my loves of art and music back into my life. I even played my songs that I have written twice in the last three days and it has been so awesome to praise God with my heart and love. I did do some painting at the Abbey three weeks ago and never posted anything, so maybe I will be able to get some of that up as well.

The house children's dog Daisey. She moved in the middle of me trying to get a quick drawing of her.
