– Colette
How fun is that? My hubby would say… just look cool doing it.

This is a portrait of our dog Obi, who just happens to be ceramic. We named him Obi because he obediently sits at the window and watches the lake all day. He is around 3 feet tall and we got him at our favorite little store in Van Buren, Arkansas, Little Bit of Mexico. We have bought a lot of ceramic pots and metal art there. It’s just a wonderful place to shop and the proprietors, Dave and Barb Little, are terrific, too.
The last time we went there, we were in my hubby’s little retro T-Bird. Nothing we bought would fit in the car so Barb and Dave delivered it to us in Eufaula the next day. Seriously, if you want a great little road trip, head to Van Buren and tell Barb and Dave we sent you.
Derwent Inktense pencils are so fun to do art with. Check out that link. They can be purchased anywhere you buy your fine art supplies. (I am not being compensated for this, I just love the pencils.)
About Colette
Colette was the pen name of Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, the French author acclaimed for her intimate, lyrical novels, including Chéri and The Vagabond. Born in Burgundy in 1873, she moved to Paris in 1893 when she married Henri “Willy” Gauthier-Villars, who locked her in a room and demanded that she write. After their divorce, she became a music-hall performer and continued to write. During World War I, she converted her second husband’s estate into a hospital for the wounded. She died in 1954.
