Bertolli and Pitt Pens

Spaghetti Night
This was a quick sketch done in my Moleskine, but doing the color was laborious! It was done with Pitt pens which come in beautiful colors, but have fine "brush" points that don't cover much ground. I guess it's safe to say that they really aren't intended for this. I would love to see what other people do with them. Their colors are wonderful.


December 17th! I feel as if I am no where near ready for Christmas, but we had our get- together with my husband's family this past weekend, and today I shipped off the gifts to the California kids. I do have a few more things to get for the local kids, and I should bake something (not my favorite thing to do). My mother has made the same cookies every year for 55 years and I feel OBLIGATED to make them this year. I wonder what we would ever accomplish without guilt. Guilt and competition make the world go around. Well, maybe love, talent, generosity, hope . . .
