A blog change and some sketches

You have probably noticed the HUGE change 

in my blog's current appearance. 

It was a spur of the moment thing. 

I came across a website that used the
brown toned background
with a pale font and
I found it a pleasant change to 

the dark font on glaring white backgrounds. 

So, I instantly started playing with my blog. 

I chose a font colour that I feel 

is easier on the eyes.

I do think the images stand out better 

and I'm happy with how it is for now. 

It could just be a passing phase 

and I may change it again 

when the novelty wears off. 

Please tell me whether you find it 

easy or difficult to read. 

Your feedback is appreciated.

I just thought I'd share a few quick sketches 

that I fitted in here and there 

over the past few months.

I registered with Sktchy after installing their app on my ipad.

It's a place where artists can put up photographic images, mostly portraits, 

and other artists are free to use them to sketch/paint.

The Sktchy app is only available for Apple IOS products.

If you're on Sktchy,
my profile name is - Serena Lewis

This is a sketch of Ashley Goeltz,
a Sktchy member/artist.

I used a Platinum Carbon pen, a Lamy Joy,
and a Pentel pocket brush pen
in an A5 Moleskine sketchbook.

And a couple of quick sketches.
I'm trying to grab moments where I can
even if it's just for simple sketches.

This year has been so hectic
and it doesn't seem to have slowed down much at all.

I have three Christmas ornaments to paint this year
as it will be little Mackenzie's first Christmas.
She is growing so fast already and very alert!

Have a lovely weekend!
