It has been a while since the last update, but there [hopefully] will be more, as I will have more time to work on additions to the “December Solstice” series. Good work to those who had exams this month, and Happy New Year!

No photos this time, for I would need to reinstall Photoshop to make borders for them =(

I will have photos on the next post =)

Some of you may have noticed that I’ve changed kaavie’s layout. If not, you are missing out on all the extravagant fun so here is the link just in case you forgot =): http://kaavie.com/. Aside from the layout, the first piece for my new series of work titled “december solstice” is now uploaded to kaavie, so feel free to stop by the portfolio to take a peek.

I will likely be working on the second piece tomorrow, so expect it sometime tomorrow or a couple days after, depending on the proportion of my motivation versus sloth.

Here is an adequate example for sloth:

I have returned from my trip–I’ve actually been back for almost a week now–and today I’ve decided not to be lazy and chose a few photos to post of the chalet. We were to go blueberry picking, but I ended up taking more photos than I did of blueberries =P Nevertheless our host was especially hospitable and let us gorge on blueberries despite being lazy, AND even made us a blueberry pie. It was delicious. I would have taken a photo but I was too busy stuffing my face =)

I’d forgotten to include a photo of the blueberries the last time I visited, so here it is:

They had gotten ripe since the last time I visited as well as the raspberries.

Going for a walk in a field behind the chalet.

I went through my sketchbook looking for some post-worthy pieces and only seemed to come up with one. Fortunately I am the type of creep who enjoys observing people while they sleep and Phil was conveniently snoozing comfortably on the couch making it an optimal time for me to scribble away with only minor setbacks such as the occasional tossing and turning. I hadn’t used conte for quite a while let alone sepia toned conte and it was the only thing I could grab off-hand that would make the process quick and slightly less painful than using pencil. A little rust around the edges but he seemed to be content with it =D

I plan on turning this somewhat into a photo blog and making a note to take at least 1 photo a day to post, so here are some photos taken today…

there seems to have been a lot of rainbows lately; sadly no lucky charms nor pots of gold.
