Prunus dulcis

Cornus florida

My Version of Titian’s “Sacred and Profane Love”, pretty good I like to think.

Salix babylonica

One lovely part of going to class with Kelly, is that if I am lucky she will draw me something! Like this lovely Octopus I named, “OctoHi!”

And for this I draw Kelly things like this!

Acer palmatum atropurpureum

Maybe I should stop depicting myself with all sorts of viruses….could be be foreshadowing and that creeps me out.

Arbutus unedo

Quercus rubra

My roommate Kelly, is a Exercise Physiology major, soon to be a Doctorate of Physical Therapy student!  Anyway sometimes I will visit her medical microbiology class, where we learn about infectious diseases.  It’s awful for me because I get paranoid and freak out when they show pictures, but I like to think Kelly enjoys my company.  So, I have a series of drawings from that class.  This is my rendition of rabies:

Liriodendron tulipifera

My beautiful friend Megan has a bad habit of wearing hideous shoes.  She had a pair last year that I called “loafers” because they looked like loaves of bread.  Here’s to Megan and her shoes I hate!!!!! (All said with much love!)

Quercus muehlenbergii

Kolkwitzia amabilis

Fagus Grandifolia

My friend Madison is one of my favorite characters to draw.  Maybe because I have been seeing her 5 days out of the week, and sometimes more for the past three years now.  I have lots time to perfect her character.

Usually when I work on new characters, I make sure to draw my figure next to them to compare….sometimes I also include her reaction to them.

There are other times when, since I only work in pen, that the characters I make don’t work.  This is an example of that….
