happy spring!


yeah, well of course i made a new book!


now that i'm home i used some watercolors and oil pastels.


the crown bled through to the back so this Being has one too...


mostly i stuck to colored pencils, though...


the cover so far - inspired by jeane and her muslin gluing down... at the rate i'm going it's gonna change a lot by the time the book's done.


i spent most of my days outside last week - it was glorious! we made a trip to mt. shasta...


still a lot of snow there.


we saw sandhill cranes on the way! oh, i love, love, these birds...


i drew on some sticks...


and a can. there's a lot of stuff out there to draw on!

happy spring!

  3. How'd I know you'd be going to the MT? My last name rhymes with Mountain: Brattain. I sure enjoy seeing your faces but I haven't discovered any more in my work lately.

  4. Just love that rusty tin you drew on...there sure are plenty of things out there to draw on!
    Love your latest faces, especially with the chicken bits and seeing the lovely Mt. Shasta again and all of that snow.

  16. Lynne guerrilla/woodland art is just the best! I'd love to be wondering around in the woods and find your miraculous little treasures. They never fail to bring a big smile to my whole body. Hoping for spring sometime soon here.

  20. Lynne,

    Happy Spring to you too. Love, love, love your books! and your drawings on sticks are fabulous! If you like birds you should check out my hubbys photos there is a link on my blog. Tim Zurowski is his name and photography is his game and birds his favorite subject.

    I can't tell you how much your faces inspire me. Oh and killer boots! :)

    Hugs

  21. Happy Spring to you and Mt Shasta... do you think the mountain cries out under that snow for some warm sunlight and a bit of green roots stretching through and grass and birds?

    Its been warmish here, almost eighty one day and seventies but also cooler... spring flowers out and about... you are in bloom always!

    Exo Blessings

  22. Thankyou for the beautiful comment. xox

    I miss the snow-capped mountains, so lovely to see one. In Australia, the mountains are so old they no longer reach high enough to be topped in snow.

    So wonderful to see the loving faces. I especially adore little chicken-head and your drawing on the rusty tin can.

    I hope you keep spreading your wonderful drawing-love.
