Raggedy Boo

Welcome to my blog I do hope everyone has had a great week.

Well my boys are currently on a school break with another two weeks to go.  Both of them had assignments to do and study for their exams and both trying to put it off until the following day.

It's Wednesday today which means it's the middle of the week, it's Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 and we have a new winner and top 3 congratulations ladies.

It's the end of the month which means we're recycling at sketch from the past, Sketch #176 which was design by Arlana Patten and was featured on 17th October 2012.

Sketch #176

I've rotated the sketch 90 degrees to fit my image in.

  This week we're lucky enough to be working with

Lacy Sunshine Stamps

Bio:

Heather Valentin  is  creative ,  award winning,  modern-day  fantasy and  whimsical  artist who has displayed a dynamic and vibrant energy while painting professionally for over 18 years. 

  

She  began to express herself creatively through movement at a very young age. 

For many years she studied dance, being drawn to forms that allowed creative self expression, all the while feeling this constant urge to create with her hands. The canvas is now her dance floor where color, beauty and drama are expressed through her every pencil sketch and  brush stroke. Her  subjects vary from fairies, fantasy, mermaids, vampires, dragons, wildlife, abstract and more. She is one who is inspired in a single moment. Her  dreams, moods and the the unfolding beauty of the world around her is what charts her dance for the day. She is most alive when sketching and painting, creating timeless pieces that reflect her heart and soul. Drawing breathes life into her soul- it enables her to reach out and touch lives. This gives her a place in the world one character and painting at a time.

Heather's  artist portfolio  has  expanded to include such  clients  as   Pepsi, Outback Steakhouse, Nabisco, Zephryhils  and can now be found  at Laguna Art, Third Stone Art Gallery and Sausalito Art Galleries, along with commercial and private collections across 

the globe. 

Her latest foray is to immortalize her popular drawn characters Eleanor and Pickles in a children's book of their own.
