Mom--Post-It Note Fiction #1

A few weeks ago, I posted a link about something called Post-It Note Fiction. This is my first attempt. Its theme is a Mother, in honor of the holiday this weekend. Actually, that was just a happy accident! 

I typing the "short" story out in case you can't read my less-than-stellar handwriting.

MOM 

My mother believed there was nothing as vulgar as a tattoo. She passed away last year. I was sick with grief. I was so angry, I decided to get my own tattoo. I got a heart on my right hip. Now my mom visits my dreams to tell me how much she hates it. I don't mind, I am happy to see her.

EDM # 76--Draw Some Flowers

This is not my favorite sketch. It did not turn out like the picture in my head. I understand this happens, but it is frustrating. Especially since I really enjoyed painting it. 

I finally got a scanner. I am not sure I can recreate the steps to get another image onto blogger ;-) Please email me if the image is too large. I will try to fix it.

This is also my first attempt with Caran d'Ache Neocolor II Artists' Crayons. I think I will love them, after more practice.

EDM # 125--Draw a Bird

This Baltimore Oriole was done using Inktense Pencils. A few details were added with Micron Pens. 

We have had Orioles nest in our yard, and they are so beautiful. Please enjoy my rendition!

EDM # 14--Draw what you see in the morning when you get up

John Lennon said, "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans." So, I present my Sunday post on Tuesday. This is the first thing I see in the morning, when I get up. As for the sketch, I remain a humble student of pen and ink, and watercolor.

EDM # 254--Draw Something That Represents Joy

These are some of the things that bring joy into my life. Cats, drawing and painting, new watercolor sets (artist grade totally rock!) and drawing and painting cats. Oh, and I almost forgot, the EDM list.
