“Rolling Around”, black pastel pencil and white charcoal pencil on blue Canson paper, 10.5″ x 7.5″ © Bernadette E. Kazmarski
I’ve been planning on using this art as a winter month desktop calendar for quite some time, and I’m so glad the time has finally come around!
Here is what I said about it when I posted it as a daily sketch on October 12, 2013:
Giuseppe was having a really good roll around on the floor, for no apparent reason except that it made him happy. I think we should all do that each day!
This was another fun attempt to follow a moving target with my eyes while drawing with my hand and not looking at the paper.
Even though the time of the original sketch was October and Giuseppe was rolling around on the floor, the blue background, the simple black and white, just make me think of Giuseppe on the bed, rolling around in preparation for a long afternoon’s nap on a quiet, snowy winter afternoon. Enjoy!

This month’s desktop calendar
I’ve worked this image into a desktop calendar for you to enjoy and use for the entire month. Looking at the downloads from previous months and averaging out which dimensions fit which devices, I have reduced the number of variations from 12 to three. It was very time-consuming to create all the variations with new devices arriving all the time, so I have one for horizontal monitors/screens, one for square monitors/screens, and one that should fit the dimensions of nearly all mobile devices.
If these sizes don’t work for your device, or if you have problems, please let me know. Often I can troubleshoot the reason an image won’t download or won’t load on your device, but if I just can’t figure it out I can just email it to you and hope that works.
How to download and use your desktop calendar
- Click on one of the images below that matches the dimensions of your monitor to open the image in a new page.
- For desktop computers and laptops, right-click on that image and on a desktop computer choose “save as desktop wallpaper” or “save as background” or whichever option your operating system gives you to be able to do this. You may also simply save it to your hard drive and set it as your background from there.
- For mobile devices, download the image to your gallery then choose it as your wallpaper—this is slightly different on all devices.

Marc-Andre, thanks so much and I’m so sorry I missed your comment! For some reason this blog had been having issues–I had set up scheduled posts that did not post, and I haven’t been receiving comment notifications, it turned out to be a WordPress update. Any time you’d like to feature this or any other art I should get the comments now.
January 12th, 2015 at 10:54 am
No problem at all 🙂 TRT runs every Tuesday so happy to feature it next week as tomorrow’s post is already scheduled. Hope that’s ok. Is your blog self hosted btw?

Wonderful. Even after January the art will still be available as prints and such. This blog in particular is not self-hosted, but you’ve also been to “The Creative Cat” because you’ve commented once or twice. This post is also there–that’s where the monthly calendars originate–and that one is self-hosted. I’m combining my sites and using this one for animal-related merchandise at the moment. Here is this same information on my other site: http://thecreativecat.net/january-featured-artwork-and-desktop-calendar-rolling-around1/#.VLQD7nvIlyB
