Don't be stunned, but here are some more pages from my journal that is inspired
by Rebecca Blair!
Simple lines that I guess I like because of the control side of my personality.
That can be good or bad!

Sketchbook
Sketchbook drawing seems to be keeping my interest. I continue to be fascinated at how the pieces can be so varied with a limited amount of stroke designs.

Zentangle Play
This piece was done in my 9 x 12 sketchbook with pens and spots of inktense pencils.
By the way, I do live in California and it does seem as though the whole state is on fire. We can see smoke on the horizon, but the air is still OK for daily activity here in Sacramento. It's only August and, unfortunately, the conditions will only get dryer until the rain comes.

Sketchbook Skool
My life has been on slow down for a few weeks. The upside is that I sit and draw, sew, read and take naps. Pretty nice. So I've done some self portraits and will continue to do them as I learn so much with each attempt.
Flowers are always a nice subject, so I've done these with Inktense pencils. I'm beginning to appreciate their qualities. I can draw the shape and have it gently disappear with a touch of water.
The last picture is of a mug as I don't have any pretty teacups, a subject that Liz Steel loves. But, her guidelines certainly help in understand the subject!
Finally, I seem to be enjoying the process and feel better about my understanding of the art of drawing.

Zentangle mandala
A friend reminded me that I haven't posted in a while. I have excuses, such as spending six hours helping to set up the quilt show today or painting walls at the art center or working on our Christmas card.
Oh wait, there is excitement over the birth of my latest grandwonderful-Miles Christopher yesterday. Mom and baby are fine. Erika Ray took photos of the happy event and there are a couple of very lovely pieces at her blog under 13-30. For a grandma who is 2,000 miles away this is a special way to connect.
But, I have managed to sit and enjoy drawing. Here is zentangle that is drawn with a Lamby-Safari pen and intense pencils.
