LABRADOR RETRIEVER CONTINUING SKETCH SHEILA WEDEGIS DAY 29 ,2012

   Oh my sweet girl!!!! The eye you are seeing has a growth that is on the inner upper eyelid. It will rub on the eye itself and it gets red and hurts. Saving for a removal but til then I give her drops and she's so good about getting them.  A former agility girl she does a perfect stand, stay.  While cleaning the garage yesterday I found a box of ribbons. We are very proud of them since she only did agility because I wanted too. She hated it and often showed her dislike while we were in the middle of a course. Some one on the side had a sandwich which she got a whiff of and she trotted right over to get a better sniff with me calling for her to come back on the course.  Another time she stopped dead in her tracks in the middle of doing the weave poles to really inspect a hole that had been left from a pole and not brushed over. I think though my very favorite day was when it was quite hot I started running straight with my arm out believing she was right with me, jump ,jump to jump then the table. She knew this and did it but today she was too hot and not interested. I turned to watch her saunter, slowly, to the first jump. "Sophie..JUMP". She stood there then, I swear I heard an oomph, got over, then ,slowly ,casually, walked to the next. Not wanting her to fail, we continued . The time whistle blew, but we carried on with me laughing hysterically and giving her tons of praise. She as doing it for me. The judge commended us on our attitude.


So today I did a bit more as you can see. Darkening and still working around to keep some light. More to do with that side til I'm content but will head on to the other side tomorrow then work side to side. I used a 6B, very soft, for the dark areas. I also cover my working area with a clean piece of paper since the soft pencul will smudge easily.

See you tomorrow. Sheila

LABRADOR RETRIEVER CONTINUING SKETCH SHEILA WEDEGIS DAY 28 ,2012


Today was cleaning the house, washing the floors. So finally I got to work on my drawing. 

I have been using a B graphite pencil , showing where my dark areas are then some lighter areas.  Tomorrow I will get my assortment of pencils and go back on this side to make it more pronounced.  Their have been some corrections in this process as I start seeing negative shapes. One area that I was off was Sophie's nostrils. Another was the direction of he line of her neck. I have lightly penciled in the correction.

Be sure and come back tomorrow to see where we will take this next.
Thanks for coming by.

Warmly, Sheila

LABRADOR RETRIEVER WATERCOLOR SKETCH SHEILA WEDEGIS DAY 24 ,2012

"HUH???"

A fun watercolor and gouache sketch. I did a bubble series ages ago and it was so much fun. I may explore them further. 

Painting along, juggling commissions, projects, and my own inventions. Dinner with Roger and playing with the Labs. 

Thanks for looking. If you are interested in getting your pet "bubbled" send me a message.

LABRADOR RETRIEVER WATERCOLOR SKETCH SHEILA WEDEGIS DAY 22,2012

 On the 22nd of every month I seem to think of our Fergus. His birthday was September 22. This sketch was from I think one of the last pictures of him. His neck and arms were shaved from intravenous and spinal taps but h e knew that was his tennis ball.  Actually I think of Fergus every day.  Ozzie has picked up some of his traits. When I whistle at night, Ozzie runs like the wind to come to me just like Fergus did. Ozzie curls up on my bent knees when I' m laying on the couch.  It's nice to have a little presence in the house.

  Ozzie however is his own personality.  This morning I was snugged up on the couch and Ozzie came and kissed me. I said, "Do you want breakfast?" He then grabbed my blanket and started to pull it off me. I think there's a little person in there!!!

SWEDEGIS SKETCH DAY 15, 2012

     Well obviously not for sale. I just needed to have a day off I guess.  I've been engrossed in the playoff games so today as it started getting late I decided to sketch a quick drawing with colored InkTense pencils and water wash.  I actually like the movement so not bad.

Tomorrow back to work.. Have a great night everyone.  warmly, Sheila
