Hot dog summer days

For being a night owl, I'm up terribly early these days. Sunrises are too early to catch, still, but I'm all for magical mornings. Before the heat, before the harsh sunlight (although the sun rises quickly), and definitely before most people head out, that's when we...

Daily dog drawings (procrastinating the end of the challenge)

Last week, I wrote that this would have been my final week of the 100-day dog drawing challenge. I was thinking of drawing more portraits to finish the challenge- but I couldn't just yet. - It felt more fun to split the last remaining drawings over...

An unexpected encounter
