As a retired lettering artist and illustrator, I still create a lot of visuals and have fun doing it. My website is a place I can post and share them from my Shoreline, Washington studio in my home.

Ready to Mail: Summer Garden Sketches

November 23, 2025

Did I need a deep plunge into a new blog site, right when such a time-consuming challenge really didn’t fit into my crowded calendar? The answer, no surprise, is “no” but at least I was able to navigate the mind-befuddling process of transferring the data from my old platform to this new, AI-enhanced version of good ol’ WordPress. My previous experience of working on good ol’ WordPress wasn’t stellar, so I’m hoping to improve my relationship with it asap. So far I have been able to upload my seasonally appropriate squash painting! But now, HOW do I get rid of “Hello World!” which was placed there by Good Ol. I’m not sure about this, but I think Good Ol’s default tips will stay on this, my First Post until I figure out how to discretely remove them without being told “This is not a good idea.” At least I got my squash up on this new site for your viewing pleasure! Happy Thanksgiving :-).

Our little drawing group, happily convening again after a hiatus for travel and classes, gathered in one member's garden today. It was a perfect July afternoon for nibbling summer fruit, sipping tea, and savoring home baked muffins. Oh yes, we did also allow time to draw – and there is no shortage of beautiful subjects in this garden. My goal: make four sketches to send as cards to people I wish to thank for various things. I did get three made (we did linger indulgently over our repast!). Here are my garden cards, ready to write in and send:
