Drawing Kelpie Rider
Kelpie Rider by ~ravensartshack on deviantART
Hi there ladies and gentlemen. I drew an eerie girl on paper with creamy green eyes akin to avocado drenched in pools of clarified butter. Okay, that sounded creepy, but I do enjoy reading haunting fiction. I drew Kelpie Rider on paper with ink, pencil and colored paper. I felt a need to rediscover drawing with my favorite bic pen. I was inspired by the Celtic mythology of the water horse known as the kelpie which haunts ponds and sometimes shape shifts into human form. Think you don't know of any famous kelpies? Think again. You do. Lochness monster is the most famous one. I have been reading a few good books and I will post one geared for writers on September 9 and another very delicious book review of a romantic fantasy October 14.
I also made a tee shirt out of Kelpie Rider.

My 100th item!
Today I added my design to my 100th item in my zazzle store! Yeah! It is time to celebrate. This is my first milestone since I opened my store in July 3, 2012. I learned about posting my designs on items like iPad sleeves and and kindle cases. It is fun to design images in layers that can be mixed and matched in tee shirts or placemats. My next milestone will be be when I have 1000 items in my store and that will take time.
I feel as if I have entered an art boot camp since my days begin about 5:30 am to 6:00 am if I am feeling bushed. I race each summer day against the heat. I try to work with a naturally cold room and chilly computer. The mornings are a cold 50 F in the desert, but they can soar to 100F the same day! Lately, I began a few old school drawings in ink on paper. I find blue bic pen layers nicely with colored pencils to create rich contrasting images.
What about books? I am reading a few very interesting books and I will reveal them when the time comes.
Happy Creating and Writing!
