A post without bears



I won't be using a British bear to deliver my blog entry tonight. I will just type it myself. I had done two cute little sketches this morning that I was going to scan while I was at work, but I forgot to scan them, so we will have to settle for this not so cute drawing that I did a week or so ago. This was a "copy" of a painting that was in one of my many books. I don't remember who the artist was but do know that he/she has been dead long enough that I won't get in trouble for not giving him/her credit. I do, however, remember the name of the painting as I found it quite amusing. You can also maybe see it, if you squint real hard, at the top of the scan. It is called "Woman with the Gambling Mania." Can't you just see that gambling mania in her eyes? I am going to be doing quite a few master copies in the months ahead as I signed up for an ATC (some of you may remember that ATCs are little 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" drawings or paintings) trade that will be focusing on copies of or works inspired by the old masters. I'm very much looking forward to this. I like creating ATCs and it's very fun to receive them in the mail from others as well.

Other than all of that, I don't have much to say, so I will stop before I just start typing for typing's sake.
