Happy Anniversary Sunday Sketches
Well, according to our wonderful hostess Sophia, over at The Blue Chair Diary, it has been one year since she began Sunday Sketches. A weekly art co-op dedicated to showcasing a sketch created during the week.
We post our sketch and visit our friends!
Sophia started with two participants and now has over 30 participants on any given Sunday!
YAY Sophia, congratulations!
I am so proud of YOU!
Every Sunday she is hostess to this creative blog event. Her dedication has brought all of us together every Sunday, for 52 weeks! It's good to see familiar faces, and new faces every week...it really brightens my day!
It's such a great forum, and filled with such artistic people and talent.
I so love my Sunday Sketch buddies!
So Sophia, this is for YOU!
Thank you!
XO
Heather

My UNIQUELY styled Wallpapers. During some ten years, I have developed an extremely complex and unimitable technique that should carry some interest of anyone pursuing a serious artistic ambition and expertise. And it's quantity as well: by now close to 3 000 wallpapers, all created by me. Why not tune in on my rapidly growing art blog? Its Copyright Anyone, as it SHOULD be for this genre!

SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE
There's much in the world that you can't explain.
It's revealed for you to remember
by the whispering voice of a distant train
or a midnight rain in november.
Horizon within! You can always find
the keys to Enigma. Let's mention
one basic Truth: of spirited Mind
Is Nature naught but extension.
Internal expanses! In dreams, ridden
by fear and longing you roam
that deep Southeast in your soul hidden
...on your random journey back home.
Single Swingle

Casualidad sopla la sangre
de alguno señor desconocido
durante los pocos restantes
momentos del resplandor de faroles
que se vislumbran tras el follaje
flameando de las obsesiónes
igual efimero como gotas
del cinzano de la soledad –
En aquel tiempo me levanta
dentro uno incidente avejentado
que en seguida palidece
al camouflaje de abstraccion;
chica, nadie conoce que tus grisos
ojos significan aún; con todo
el sueño que hube evacuado
tu escudriñas nuevamente.
My Spanish poetry!

LE FRUIT DU CIEL
Un orage nocturne illmuna maintenant l'Amazonie, franchis les Andes, envoya des jeux de cartes gigantesques et frappantes en bas à la Pampa –
Puis: petit déjeuner à melon; café fumant !
À la bague du cigare tu lis, étonné: GÉOGRAPHIE.

Das Leben dergleichen Halbfaßung
der Welt wahr immer nicht wahr,
nicht wahr? Die fristlos Entlaßung
am Ende wird kaum wunderbar.
So laßen uns Menschlingen viele
besonders besonnene zum
Zeitweilegem Zeiten als Ziele
des Lebens halbfaßen darum.

We need a new analysis of probability. My hypothesis is that disorder is as constant as energy, since increasing material disorder, entropy, is counterbalanced by increasing structural regularity, symmetry. I tell you the Law of Entropy and the Law of Symmetry, ruling approximatively equal universal validity derive through bifurcation of the still more basic Law of Probability, that is, math, and rather simple math at that. Can you dig this?

OH MY GOSH!!!! I SO SO SO LOVE it! Tears here, Heather. Ohhhh...you have blessed my little knee socks off! Hee Ballet, SS button, art, a puppy, striped socks! And you even got my hair colour right. Tee hee. Awww, thank you so much. I am glad that we met and have become such good bloggie friends. You are a true inspiration to me.
Hugs!! :D
PS....hey my eye colour, too....and is that a Starbucks Cup?!?!?! WOot! :)
OK....I keep seeing more and more! You TOTALLY have me down. Awww....a turtle, tea cup, red heart and blue shirt....music.....Oh Heather!!!!
I love everything about this, from ballerina Sophia to the starbucks and the little mouse, such fun!
Yes, there were a few things that i picked up from sophia's sketches, that remind me of her, the blue, the heart and the turtles!
OK....I know I've left GOBS Of comments already, but, can I put her on my sidebar and link back to your blog? :D
hahahah I'm back....just read your comment on my blog....my puppy is black. :)
OK....I'm steping away from the comment box....stepping awayyyyyy.... hahaha :D
Oh Heather!!! How very perfect and appropriate for Sophia!! The ballet! The Tea! The Striped Socks!!Her logo! The hearts! Amazing touches and oh so cute!! And so well said!
xo EVA
(and now I read the comments and see there is even more Wow!!)
What a great sketch Heather!!! You have captured her so well! I too look forward to sharing with all the great artists that participate each week, and feel I have truly made a friend in you! I never leave your place without feeling happy and smiling...
Hugs and smiles my friend!
Oh, I forgot to respond to your suggestion for a coloring book...That is a great idea. I do color and ink at the same time with my pieces, not the complete sketch and then add color, so I would have to change my process, but that is a wonderful idea. I used to do the complete ink drawing first, and my daughter loved to get a copy and color it as she liked.
I'll have to try that again.
thanks for the sweet comments about how she turned out too!
Smiles
thnk u heather. ur sketch is great, i love how it depicts today :D

Such a cute sketch, love the bunny. It has been so much fun doing these Sunday Sketches and meeting great people like you. Hope it continues for another year.
Happy Anniversary to the sketches! Love these! If anyone ever wants a custom-drawn header for their blogs, you are the first person I'm going to call! XX!
What an adorable tribute in both picture and word! I've enjoyed coming to your blog and getting to know you Heather!
Oh wow, look at that, how special!! No wonder Sophia was totally over the moon, it's a wonderful creation Heather. I love my weekly visits too - such a great bunch and a complete variety of styles - always a pleasure.
In answer to your question, my canvas goddess measures 15" x 20" and the gold one in my sketchbook is 8" x 12"
My daughter say "it's so pretty. yeah mum? " to which I reply... " it is really cool! :) Super illo. I like how you also put in the Sunday sketch badge :)
Love your work! I actually found out about Sunday Secrets through your blog, which I found through Illustration Friday and love, love, love!
