Everyday in May

Amazing how much one can learn in just a few days. This EDM challenge for May is forcing me to be more aware of what I am drawing, to try to make a more "complete" sketch and to use the different media that I have on hand. So much to learn!

We've started the month with something bubbly and a favorite sound.



Then we were to draw something that brings joy. Holding babies is very special to me, especially when it is one of my grandchildren.



Day four and five suggested socks and a pine or fir or eucalyptus tree. Pretty easy to tell which was right in front of me and which was from imagination. I figure that "do-overs" are not allowed for this challenge. I'll just go with the flow and try harder next time.

Zentangle moleskin

The zentangle journey continues. Here is the latest installment which includes a face. I continue to be aware of shapes in nature as well as in magazines and other print media. This section is 3 pages of my moleskin.

 One evening I just plunked myself down, determined that I would do a sketch. With a Pitt pen I drew this violet (I'm so proud that it is blooming). Over two sessions, I added the colored pencil.

Triple digit temperatures today. I did have to water some outdoor plants as they were drooping by noon. Yikes!
