Instead of any "traditional" Easter dinner, we had stone crab claws. It doesn't get much better than that! Sorry, I didn't save you one...
Yesterday was my last life drawing class; there will probably not be another until fall. I totally enjoyed every class and I'm sorry to see it end. It was such a pleasure to draw with others in a quiet setting, just some soft music in the background. Below I have posted just two of the quick sketches we did. Obviously I need lots and lots of practice yet, but I'll get there one day. Hands are still very hard for me. Well, and toes, and arms, and faces, and ears, and...and...well, you know.
And....now I must say goodbye for awhile. The Little Room for Art will be closed until after April 5. Life just gets in the way, or is it blogging that gets in the way of life? Either way, there are things I must do so be sweet and I'll see you all soon. I'll still be visiting though, and my email is always open.

Love your life drawings. Yep I know about all those little piddly details being a problem in drawing and in life. Hope your time off is for fun not other things. Love Hugs and Blessings
Great life drawings, Judie. Life/blogging - blogging/life -
it's a balancing act sometimes, isn't it? Glad you had a happy Easter and hope you find lots of fun while you're away from the page for a bit~XOXO
I like the drawings. They're great. Hope the blogging break is good for you.
J....these drawings are exceptional... you are so talented! We will miss you!
Aloha Judie, it's been fun to go to class with you.. hurry back, but enjoy your holiday..
peace, Kai xx
As one who can't draw a stick figure I think you do a great job.
Wow, Judie, you have done so much art since I was here last. It all looks so great and you do so many different things! I love it. I don't get around to blogs like I used to but I have decided to take the links off my blog and put them back after I've shortened the list. Glitter sisters and soulcollagers. I think that will be my new criteria. lol There just isn't time for anyone else. :)
Judie,
Life drawing is really fun. Especially drawing some of those male models(Wiggling eyebrows.)
I'd like to take a class again too. Love to You,Wee, Roxie and all.

Your life drawings are sooooo interesting -- what fun it must be to take a class like that. I keep thinking maybe soon...there was rumor of a life drawing class somewhere here on the island... Also looooove your "closed" illustration -- brillant! And I'm sooooo glad you liked the birdies :) I forgot that I have two other cards here for you -- postcards that were given to me along the way with vintage bird illustration and then another of this amazing quilted bird piece... will eventually send them along, too -- but you can see the quilted pieces online at:

Lov these darwainhs, my dear....Thanks for sharing them...
And I hope your "recess" will be a wonderful one!
BTW: The Easter Flower Arrangement pictures were actually newly posted. The ones I posted last year were ALL different photo's than this most recent one...I LOVED this arrangement so much that I took about 100 pictures of it from all angles....lol!
Thanks for your lovely words, my dear....!
Wnjoy your time away.
Hi Judie, thanks for your lovely comment on my blog :) I'm going to keep the lay figure now don't worry. I hope you'll be back blogging soon! :)
Judie , Your drawings are great , it's just that inner critic / monster that makes you think they're never good enough.
Hope you enjoy your blogging break.
~ Love & Hugs ~
Have a peaceful rest and get a lot done that will really make a difference. We have to make time sometimes.
And little carving tools make eraser stamp carving a breeze!
I don't get around much and you are leaving. Have a great time away from the keyboard.
Good job on those sketches!
Bye bye so long....but not for long sweet lady..Ha ha I'm having 87F temps here!!
Just had to say that because I can remember what you said one day way back in the freezing snow posts!!

Your art in any form never ceases to astound me. The life drawings really are fantastic.
Stepping away for a bit is good to do now and then. Sometimes it can just be to refocus. Whatever you're doing I hope it contains the word FUN too!
XOXOXO
Love and hugs,
Lisa
oh your life drawings are wonderful.
I hope during your time off you're good to yourself.
Lots of love,

Great "Life" drawings. You really have captured the flow of lines.
I too will be checking out when my computer is packed and the move is on....Have a good break.
I know. I closed my for a long, long time, but I think I'm coming back. And art and blogging are life, or at least a nice part of it. Love you, kid!
I am finally catching up! see you have been away but must be back soon... it is nearly April 5th...
I love your Rumi quote - .. We have a Harley Davidson, that is why we want to go to Sturgis... but maybe I can squeeze in a trip to Daytona :) , I don't think I would have to twist Joe's arm too much.. but of course, the trip is still in the wind.. first of all I must get my Cornwall trip organized for next year and if we have any money left, then US it will be in 2010... boy, what a comment.
Thanks for the comments and support over the past weeks with the birth of my grandson... I am finally getting my head back to earth :)
love & hugs to you missy xoxo
