Very belated April pages! And it’s already the end of May – time to scan the next round of pages already!

An ink drawing of a white dog with spots, with a crown floating over her head. Her eyes are closed and she looks pleased. It’s captioned “April 1st, Roxxy would have turned 20!”
A pink acrylic ink pen drawing; it’s a pink square with negative space silhouettes of flowers.
An acrylic ink pen drawing of a rubber duck wearing a heads scarf. It’s captioned “Granny Duck” “Yugoslavia, approx. 1960s. At the Rubber Duck Museum”
Wet gouache paint colours with lines inked on top. The drawing shows stanchions with a “no parking” sign. Behind it, a small bird sits on a nest; further behind it as bushes and trees. It’s captioned “At the bird sanctuary. 5 parking spots blocked off because a tiny killdeer made a tiny nest in the parking lot”
A gouache paint sketch of a bowl of soup and half a grilled cheese sandwich. It’s captioned “The power of tomato soup and grilled cheese!!!”
On a wash of blue watercolour is an ink silhouette of a small dog at the end of a leash. The drawing is captioned “Lenny at the beach”
A gouache sketch. The page is divided vertically. On the left is a tree in a forest with a large dark hole near its base. On the right is a dark doorway between two trees. These are both scenes from the movie Hamlet, the one on the right being a theatre backdrop. This page is captioned “Hamlet was beautiful and moving”
