I&#8217;ll tell you about them as soon as I can.<\/p>\n<p>As you may know, I recently signed with Natalie Lakosil of the <a href=\"http:\/\/bradfordlit.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Bradford Literary Agency<\/a> for representation as a book author\/illustrator. She&#8217;s whipping my figurative butt into shape with a long list of new art for my portfolio as well as complete revisions of several book dummies. So that is taking up a lot of time, as you can well imagine.<\/p>\n<p>And last, but not least, I&#8217;m doing final prep work for my first art show of the season. Sadly, the weather seems to be in a highly uncooperative mood, with rain most of today and scattered T-storms tomorrow. Sunday is forecast as sunny. But this is Missouri, T-storms can become hail storms or tornadoes in a blink of an eye. And Sunny on Sunday may be a pipe dream this soggy, soggy spring. I don&#8217;t think the yard will ever de-squishy.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few of the better life drawing sketches from the quick draws of last night.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sketchgroup6-2-16B.jpg\"><img data-attachment-id=\"3943\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/life-drawing-whats-update\/sketchgroup6-2-16b\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sketchgroup6-2-16B.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1080,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"sketchgroup6-2-16B\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sketchgroup6-2-16B-300x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sketchgroup6-2-16B-1024x1024.jpg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium_large wp-image-3943\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sketchgroup6-2-16B-768x768.jpg\" alt=\"sketchgroup6-2-16B\" width=\"768\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sketchgroup6-2-16B-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sketchgroup6-2-16B-75x75.jpg 75w, https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sketchgroup6-2-16B-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sketchgroup6-2-16B-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sketchgroup6-2-16B-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sketchgroup6-2-16B.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sketchgroup6-2-16A.jpg\"><img data-attachment-id=\"3944\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/life-drawing-whats-update\/sketchgroup6-2-16a\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sketchgroup6-2-16A.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"640,640\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"sketchgroup6-2-16A\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sketchgroup6-2-16A-300x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sketchgroup6-2-16A.jpg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium_large wp-image-3944\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sketchgroup6-2-16A.jpg\" alt=\"sketchgroup6-2-16A\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sketchgroup6-2-16A.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sketchgroup6-2-16A-75x75.jpg 75w, https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sketchgroup6-2-16A-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wendymartinillustration.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sketchgroup6-2-16A-400x400.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a while since I posted.
