More sketching

October 2, 2007 | Filed Under musings, etsy | by Sarah Blank |

Chimneys, smokey swirls and folk art leaves, a new sketch Waiting on a Whimsy Leaf
I just finished this tonight and it is offered here in print form!

and some details…

I am in love with sketching. My hope is to further develop my sketches into large paintings. But for now I am sketching like crazy, storing up ideas for the long winter months when I am stuck inside.

Ah, October is finally here! I took a walk today through the woods and the acorns were falling like crazy. And speaking of whimsy leaves above, just look at this tri-colored acorn I spotted on the ground! Can you believe it? It wants to be a autumn leaf!

Have a good week everyone, and have a joyous beginning-of-October.

I just love how that sketch turned out–so pretty and whimsical! :) I’m rather in love with just sketching as well right now… must be something about the weather. I’m trying to make myself progress beyond just sketching and inking and actually break out my watercolors. lol. :)

Ooh! Acorns! I just love this time of year… I need to take a walk and see if I can find any signs of autumn around!

Also wanted to add a thank you for your sweet comment you left on my blog. :)
