Some of my sketches from this month’s “Life Drawing” session.
I belong to an artist group called the Central Fraser Valley Graphic Guild. Once a month we meet and sketch a live model.
All you need is a few pencils, a sketch book, and someone to draw.

Outhouses are interesting. Mostly, they are interesting because they bring back memories.
The most interesting of memories would be the ones connected to 30 below weather, dead of winter, 8:30PM and it’s very dark outside.
My siblings and I pack on our warm parkas, wool mittens and fur lined high-top boots. Our little legs make their way [...]

Cabin fever refers to the reaction that takes place when a person is shut in, for an extended period.

I figure it’s time to announce SPRING. I’m sitting snug in my little office, listening to the wind howling, recalling the snow and rain earlier today, and wondering [...]

Do you have a special “coffee shop hangout”? I do.
Perhaps you meet with a friend or two, or perhaps at times it’s just you and a book or your laptop computer.
I’m talking about a place where the smells and sounds, the feel of the place draws you back time and time again. A place that [...]

The Children’s Story site is [...]
The Pink and Black Magnetic Snake

A funny thing happened to me the other day.
I was driving down the street, focused on my destination, when I noticed someone in the vehicle behind me trying desperately to get my attention. I checked my rear view mirror to make sure that the trunk wasn’t open, and my doors were closed properly. My tires [...]
