This isn't much more than a scribble, but there's something about it that I like. It was going to be a palm tree, but I got into a more doodling mode, then sort of splotched on the color. Maybe it was meant to be, because this was done orior to the shade challenge on EDM

It's a weird snshine while it thunders, while the whole state, pretty much, has a severe weather warning or watch.

Hoot and I are going over to rummage through Goodwill. Maybe I will find another bell.

Another drawn in the dark, pretty pitififul. Since I put in those exaggerated cheekbones, I decided to give her sort of an all over sunburnt look. She wearing the coolie outfit, and unfortunately looks very meek. Which she definitely wasn't..

Sorry, Poppet.

One of my "sketches" from watching the new Pirate's movie. The remains of the red ink are still there, and I hate those little scrubby trees. What was I thinking?

EDM 87 journal and draw lunch

I was so hungry at lunch time yesterday, and so unenthusiastic about the food available. I should have grocery shooped but didn't. No, smart me, I waited until the afternoon storms hit.

This turned out to be pretty good though or maybe just hunger?) It's two slices of seeded rye bread, some hunky slices of Meunster cheese and some cherries. It all went well together.

The little green handled knife is one of a set I got from Target, to replace some great, lost ones from the Gourmet Shop. I had very low expectations of them, but they are great. Also pretty, being one each of red, blue, yellow and green. Each has a different type blade.

Since I'd been sitting on the bed, drawing, in the background you see a small paint tray and a little of Momo's big, bushy tail. .

Last week I got Danny Gregory's Creative License, from Amazon. After Hoot's graduation, I took a nap then woke up around 11:30 and read till about 3:30. Eventually I was just dead, but also felt I _had_ to draw. This is the result. It's also the top of the chest next to my bed, so it's the first thing I see upon awakening. So many important things here.
A cap from Sunset Beach, hanging on the lamp.
a cup with a straw
a metal two hole sharpener
an empty paint tube
a strawberry lip gloss
a bottle of Winsor & Newton mask, and one of oxgall
a watermelon lip gloss
a little wooden box I painted with watercolor and sealed for keeping sharpeners and kneaded erasers
a snapshot of Graves Mountain Lodge, Virginia
a big round hatbox with classic Pooh decorations, containing true chaos
the stuffed pumpkin Yumi sent me from San Francisco
a lamb that looks like one from the Serta ads
a bottle of some sunflowery body mist
a gilt frame mirror with a shamrock printed palmetto tree and crescent moon on it
a metal Classic Pooh bucket containing pens, pencils, tweezers, emery board, etc.

A _lot_ of stuff. Colorful enough?

Well, when I added color, I lost the shadows and forgot to re add it. Getting the color to suit me was a trial.

I'm fairly happy with these. They could have more depth, but I'm not gonna whine.
