Back to work

After a brief stint of inactivity I'm beginning to resume work in the studio and the kitchen.  Patience ha been out of town all week and I've been living with 5 dog and little, if any, ambition.  But that seems to be out of my system and some enthusiasm for whatever lies ahead has re-appeared.  As proof I offer the following two drawings, and can report a third is in progress.
