This is a quick watercolor sketch of our dog Sadie:

Dog # 57 of 100 Dogs and Every Day in May # 114 Draw Something that is ugly that you keep for sentimental reasons

 Draw Something that is ugly that you keep for sentimental reasons, This is a drawing of an old photo of a great dog BooBoo.  I only considered it ugly because the black satin and red lace frame are very faded, a little dusty as well.  BooBoo was free from in front of a grocery store, I said no Daddy said OK and this lab- setter mix was one of the smartest dogs ever.  She learned all the tricks I could think of and was a great companion for a 9 year old.  Great joy for many years!

I don't know why I couldn't get blogger to download it straight?

No Dog of 100 Dogs and Every Day in May # 113 Draw a fence

Have to post the image tomorrow, too dark! 

Really long shadows caught my interest for this watercolor painting!

Dog #54, #55 and #56 of 100 Dogs and Every Day in May # 112 Draw something Fresh

Three more Dogs I tried to keep as "Fresh" and simple as possible!

Dog #53 of 100 dogs and EDinMay a bowl

I tried this combined challenge 5 times!  Should have been easy... Dog, bowl?

Dog #43 of 100 Dogs and Every Day in May # 107 Draw how you get your news.

Had to make up the rear view of a brindle greyhound (?) I liked the shape of its ears. Would really more likely be a cats sillouete in the way. The real dog is at my feet and the cat on my lap interfering with typing!

Took some more reference pictures of dogs that visit the Art Glass Guild's Patio Sale and sold some glass!  Always nice to sell your newest work!

Dog # 36 of 100 Dogs and Every Day in May Challenge #101 Soap

Last May I tried to post every day and also to start another series of 100 dogs! This year I've joined an online group http://www.flickr.com/groups/edmeverydayinmay2011/ The challenge #101 ia a bar of soap so I've added a bar! I've completed 100 Hands, Horses and Cats1!

This is a dog that visited the October sale.

The Show and Sale is coming up next weekend!

I am working on glass too!

Fused Glass Pendants in Progress

Working on some new pendants, these will have the etched dichroic front and part of the silver bail is an abstract tree shape so they should be attractive from both sides!

Here they are finished:

Fused Glass Horse

I did this fused glass sketch quite awhile ago, I happened to get a view of it with the setting sun behind it and looked at the bubbles on the one horse. Thought it worth taking a picture of.

Line drawings into Small Wire Sculpture

Found these Sketches that I made into small wire sculptures.
Great fun working with wire!

Fused Glass Cufflinks

One of the glass Artists at the Art Glass Guild, http://www.agasc.org/ suggested some items for men. Since I Had done tie tacks for fathers day and because a fellow from Australia in Studio 25 said the style "down under" was to wear your dress shirt with no tie with cuff links! I made some up with some eyes that would have turned into earrings!

This is a better picture of a pendant from a May firing.

These are drawn with glassline and colored with frit.

New horse etched on green Dichroic glass.

"Fatcat" in glass
 

100 dogs

Found some old reference photos of Dogs and after seeing Roz's daily dots, drawings of her dog for I think 5 years. http://www.rozworks.com/dog.html  I was inspired to do 100 hands, horses and cats.  She wondered when I would do 100 dogs!  Now that I've found the puppy pics and pictures of the dogs that visited  The Art Glass Guilds Patio Sale http://www.facebook.com/lyn.feudner  I'm going to start!  These first 2 are on buckling paper after mowing grass too long so I'll have lots of room for improvment... its a start....

Gold Sketches on Black

Figure drawing with Helen Wilson canceled tonight.  Because its a night class the lighting for some of the poses is just hightlights.  I've tried some different gold materials to capture the highlights

Hope to try this again next week.

sketches from the past

Glassline and luster drawing that faded away in fireing, I should redraw and refire.

I should have taken more care in drawing this one
