The Week The Landscapers Came and Still I Drew

It's been a busy week what with landscapers digging in our yards front and back renovating, creating new beauty everywhere and getting some drawing time in too! 


A woman on break at Starbucks! 
What did we do before cell phones?


2nd time I've drawn this group of women and this little boy!



On Thursday  were at Barnes & Noble CafĂ©.

 

She wasn't feeling so well!


More folks enjoying the morning over coffee, snacks and conversation.
 

 

My friend Heidi Likar drew this from my photo too!
 

JoAn Hendricks was the first to draw me!


Becca Stevenson at Sktchy drew this cute one of me! 
Thanks all! 

I think you can tell I'm excited about our yard makeovers!

 
He's putting in potting soil for my vegetable garden! Everything is new back there!


I have a new work space too! 


Took a break to draw at Starbucks!


This was an indoor outdoor scene!


I drew myself from my photo!



One of my newest succulents.


How dirty my feet got from working in the garden myself!


Another guy at Starbucks who changed chairs!


These beautiful sunflowers are on our ride from home to next town over! 


Lunch in Davis, CA


2 guys at Starbucks


Animated lady and gent


Big group, fun getting them all 



I've discovered that the new paths in my back yard make a nice meditation walk around  all the new plantings! (Not seen yet in this photo)



A Sktchy portrait


The guys bringing in the boulders for the dry creek bed in front.


Another Sktchy portrait


And another

 
Now you can see more of the path and some plants! I'll be filling these areas in myself like an English garden over time!
 
 
Thanks for coming by. Come again next week to see the finished landscaping. Wishing you a creative week. I certainly appreciate your visits here and your comments as well, as they definitely keep me drawing!

  8. Brilliant artwork as always. You really are prolific.
    As to your new garden... now you're talking Lynn. I spend so many hours in my garden, but the rewards are plentiful. My hands very often look like your feet. I tend to keep my feet covered as it can be rather chilly here for bare feet. Good luck with all that hard work... but it will be worth it. I can't wait to see it when it's completed.
    Happy PPF to you
