Year-End Tally

2009 has been a good year for PenPets, despite the economic downturn. I drew 32 PenPets commissions, two birthday presents, two Brooksville Breeze cover illustrations, and I carved one woodcut wedding present. Here’s the tally for PenPets drawings:


29 dogs


11 cats


1 out-house
1 Victorian toilet
3 houses
1 hamster
1 still life
1 bird
4 horses

I was so busy drawing PenPets portraits that I didn’t get in much woodcarving this year, only 5 woodcuts:


2 great blue herons
1 Haflinger horse
4 pigs

Woops! I almost forgot this little fictional pup, Katya, the tiny but intrepid heroine of my yet-to-be-published children's book Becoming Katya. She's my new year's baby.


HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Five woodcuts in a year? Sounds good to me, especially on top of 50 commissions! Happy new year, Leslie.
