Hippos in graphite
Finally, a post after over a week! Thanks everyone for being so patient and many hugs to those who have sent me emails wondering if I'm okay. I've been out of commission ... sick with the flu with barely enough energy for my "real" job! But, I'm healthy and happy now and aching to draw! After the hiatus, putting pencil to paper felt like quenching an intolerable thirst with an ice cold Corona ... with a lime twist!
Special thanks to Ali Stewart from Scotland who graciously allowed me to use a photo from his amazing collection. Thanks Ali!

Oh my, Joan, these fellows look so content. What a great drawing.
Thanks everyone! I did this at the request of a friend, Charlotte. I found hippos to be very friendly looking ... like they are naturally smiling ... even as they are running 30 mph to attack you!
