Shapes: Drawing Dragons Day 313

Sometimes, we have no idea the shape of our dreams until we draw them out, break against the edges, and discover the glorious turns in between.

Memories: Drawing Dragons Day 312

We have a memory of wings; big and wide, stretching to the sky.


We have a sketch in our minds of what we could be, of where we could go.


We recreate that memory. We dream of the air lifting us up.

Here’s a little bit of sweet. Her small smile makes me happy. I can’t wait to draw her wings.

Muffins: Drawing Dragons Day 310

I drew this dragon and showed it to Bob. He said it needed a muffin. I agreed.

Pacific Northwest Dragon: Drawing Dragons Day 309

She reminded me of something, and I couldn’t think of what, until it hit me: her tiny home turned to wings, she was a dragon made from forest things. How soon she will fly.

Today was a day full of good. Books. Friends. And so many stories.


This dragon, though. What story does he hold?



Keep creating,

Words: Drawing Dragons Day 305

He’s coming along, this little Dino-dragon. He reminds me of the beginning of summer; the endless possibilities and the upcoming heat.


He needs some detail.

And maybe less eyebrows.
