( click to see Sean Bean Sketch )New sketch from the 'When Saturday Comes' photoshoot!!!
He is just toooooo gorgeous!

( click to see new sketches )Been working on 2 commissions... and finally fished my mum's portrait.. Her wedding photo over 50 years ago! I will be giving it to her tomorrow.
The other 2 are Birthday and Father's Day gift..
The drawing with 2 people.. was very demanding.. The photo of the woman was over 30 years old.. very faded.. very blurry.. had to take a lot of artistic license.. and the young man came from a very, very small photo.. The lady who bought it seemed very pleased.. She was very emotional.. I must have captured them.. It can be very emotional. The woman was the young mans mother.. She passed away over 15 years ago, and the only photo he had of her.. So I was really paranoid NOT to lose it.. or mess it up.. Thank the lord for computers and scanners..
Things are still a bit weird at the moment.. Still, no job for hubby.. He did get a contract job for one day tomorrow.. so hopefully, he will feel a bit more confident! I have another commission this week.. May actually be a nude!! Haven't done one of those in over 30 years... My hubby was like?? do ya do nudes??? I said I will DRAW anything and anybody.. Now if I could only get Sean Bean nude and in front of me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since Orlando is so photogenic... I had to draw a new sketch of Orlando Bloom.. The fella will never age..... so gorgeous!!

With weather warming.. most of this weekend has been in the garden.. and Oh MY!! what a job ahead of me.. Before, children, I had a LOT more time and really enjoyed my flowers and vegetable garden.. and in the past 10 years I have only done the basics.. So, my body is going to be in traction.. after I finish working in it this week!! The weeds..... nightmarish...!! Enjoy the sketches.. and feel for me as every muscle in my body is gonna be soooooo sore.. (good for me though)..
