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.

Eastertide Drawing Group: Project Desert Cottontail

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 :-).

Time for a report from the little drawing group! We met chez moi in early April, and were inspired to draw something with some Easter relevance. Over the course of the years, we have sketched many different things, but never, in any detail, a mammal. Oh–on second thought–we did sketch one of our member's black cats. But the cat wasn't particularly Eastery so I'll feature our rabbits (Desert Cottontails). Mind you, we couldn't find a Desert Cottontail who would sit still for us so I resorted to borrowing Irene Brady's example in The Redrock Canyon Explorer. (Thank you, Irene!)

Here are our sketches:
