Rescued a squirrel?

Yes, in Mexico a friend of mine rescued two baby squirrels and raised them for 4 months and then released them.  Their names were Pecan and Almond.  This watercolor is off my daughter and Pecan.

MARY HELMREICH CALIFORNIA WATERCOLORS

I came across this fabulous watercolor artist here in San Diego, and I thought I would show her off to you all.  I just love her work.  Check her out: Mary Helmreich.

Girls Day In Event

I can't wait for tomorrow. It will be my first big event that I am participating in for my artwork here in beautiful San Diego.  I will be featuring my prints and glasswork.  Have a great weekend everyone.

Frog goes for a ride

I drew this picture about 5 years ago for a frog story that I had in mind. I never did get around to finishing that story, and now that I look at the pictures there are many things that I would like to fix, but for now I think that posting them is fun. I will post a few more of the pages in the coming days. I am to busy working on another story at the moment to give this one any thought. Hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend.

Plantation Watercolor

Here is another example of the houses that I have been illustrating for the past few weeks.  This one is my first commision.  I hope this family will like it. :)

Best friends

My daughter Tatum (brown eye) and her best freind Mylie (green eye) are glued at the hip, or should I say "the head". These two are inseperatable, and I love watching their friendship grow.

My 10 year old took this pic by the way. Pretty good I must say so myself.

Dog n Cat 3

Here is page 3 of Dog n Cat. We are still enjoying summer whether here in California. I can't wait for the fall air.

Dog n Cat 2

Well, after visiting my parents again down in PrimoTapia Mexico I enjoyed my time water coloring my sketches that I drew last week. This is page 2 of Dog n Cat, or should I say "Cats".

Have a great Monday everyone.

My House

MY HOUSE

watercolor by JennyDraws

I was thinking I should put up a picture of my house so that you all can see my place that I spend most of my time in.  So far in this bad ecomomy my family has been blessed to be able to stay in our place of residence.  My heart goes out to all the familys who have lost their homes.  Here in California there are numerous beautiful homes with nobody to love and cherish them.  So sad.    Here are the pictures that I worked from.

Its so hot.......

Cactus Party - Acrylic on canvas board

8x10

For the last week, I think that summer is having a hard time saying goodbye, and letting fall come on its way. The air is hot, sticky, sweaty, and very unlike a true California day. It makes me think of my cute little succulants who must be the only ones enjoying these long days. Please fall, come soon now.

Go Green and Buy a Flying Carpet

I couldn't resist drawing this quick sketch. A magic carpet would be a fantastic way to get around. What do you think?

Need Water?

Here in Southern California, we are in a deep deep drought. My neighboring city has gone into water rationing, hmmm. So I've been thinking alot about conserving and although I do have a pretty lush tropical garden in my front yard, I've been thinking about planting some succulents lately. These pretty little cacti were potted by my friend George and Jamar. http://georgeogan.blogspot.com/. Cacti or succulents come in so many varieties that you could make a little dessert oasis right here in sunny California. Do you have a favorite cactus plant?
