Just Read

I usually have a few books on my nightstand - I tend to start one, then get the idea to read another one...

I think I have at least 4 right now - 

Maybe I will finish them by the end of Labor Day weekend...

Have you been doing any reading this summer?

 Of course you have, what's been at the top of your list?

Sunday Sketches - Another Nursery Rhyme

"Who's been sleeping in my bed...." 

said Mama Bear...

Today, I am inspired by another favorite,

Goldilocks and the Three Bears...

I have been wanting to draw a bear family for awhile, now.

I have been really inspired by bears lately...

 We saw one yesterday at the zoo and I have a new book all about Grizzly Bears...

I have been fun turning them into my little characters....

Sharing the sketch of mama bear...with you all today

See you over at Sunday Sketches!
