Self portrait with dogs and hat.
Nearly daily sketches and other work by Heather Goff
Self portrait with dogs and hat.
I came down with a 24 hour stomach flu Monday night which laid me low for closer to 36 hours. Slept through last night’s drawing time.
A very quick drawing tonight..
With all of the snow, my dogs need to be walked where it has been plowed, which means leash walking. We go round and round and round our neighborhood. This is often my view.
It was a good day for a lap dog.
A quick sketch tonight because my puppy is not feeling well.
My office is upstairs. The coffee pot is downstairs. Every time I make the trip, someone waits at the top of the stairs for my return.
Having a very busy day and unable to start my sketch until 11:00pm, I stuck with a quick draw and a model close at hand. Thus, we have another drawing of my puppy.
Went walking up in Chilmark this evening with my dad and sister (and dogs). Millie befriended the sheep at the Silva Farm.
Here is my sketch from the night of the 8th.
On the 9th, I wanted to go in and work on the fence in the foreground.
Tuukka is now 16 months old and still has opinions about walking on the leash.
I have a new 12 week old puppy named Tuukka, who doesn’t always see the point of walking. Rosco and I have to be very very patient.
So happy to find a single daffodil in bloom on our morning walk today. Spring is just around the corner.
My friend, Kira, with her dog, Rosie, and twins.
Self portrait, walking with my dog.
As the sun dipped below the tree line in the west, it illuminated the very tops of the trees I was walking beneath.
Late afternoon at Tradewinds as the snow starts to flurry.

Rosco, my miniature schnauzer, is my best model, and when nothing else in the day sparks my interest for a sketch, he is always willing.
In the middle of the day when I hear my dog raving, it is usually because the neighbor’s cat is taunting him from the other side of the glass doors. He barks until breathless, and then watches with great focus.
Unit 4 Assignment
To turn in two illustrations. One based on criteria outlined in the lesson, where they can use their own characters and one colored drawing using all three characters.
SKETCH 1
Featuring Rosco, his friend, Crow and Cat.
I think I probably blew the collaboration part on this portion of the assignment. In using the characters that I created, I left out the motorcycle and driver. My initial thought was that Rosco would chase Cat wildly, all over the road and risk getting hit by a car, so the cross walk guard is trying to stop him. I brought the cross walk guard forward because it worked better in the composition to have her in the foreground.
SKETCH 2
Assignments based on perspective, using developed characters.
