Being A Dog Mom

The Mr. and I went back and forth whether to get another dog. Our last German wirehaired pointer crossed the rainbow bridge in January. She lived a good, long life. Now Belle has joined the family. Another German wirehaired pointer about 6 weeks old. 

The breeder had two young girls and they had named the puppies after the Disney princesses. That is how Belle got her name. 

Pooped out puppy

It has been many years perhaps over 20 since I have had a puppy this young. 

Sequeing into art - This ink wash drawing I did not post because it is my least favorite. My professor said it was his favorite. You decide.  

Not even close to the reference image. I had visions of a lovely ink wash, it was so hard to control this medium. 

There won't be any sketches for awhile with the summer break, classes to resume in August. 

I have upgraded my China dishes. Soon I will have to devise some kind of storage for those I will list for sale after the wedding. I kick myself for not buying more of a certain set when it came through thrift. 

Wedding countdown is 4-1/2 months away. Nearly all is set with the exception of the groomsmens fittings.
