Everyday in May 26

Draw a bench....Lamma Ferry pier

Not an inspiring bench in itself but a lovely view.
I messed this one up by using the ink pen...should have been patient and waited to mess it up after scanning

Everyday in May 24/25

Draw a cat, I'm doubling up on two days of challenges.
When I was small I always wanted a cat but my Dad was strictly a dog man. Here is Pearl, who moves around rather a lot for a cat that sleeps all day.My other cat was featured in last years EDiM.
Now to paint or not to paint? I want to do a painted version to show her colour and markings

Everyday in May 20

Draw a fork........forgot this was about the fork, but there are far too many plastic ones used today.
Ran out of time this morning and now running out of the door.

Everyday in May 7

Playing catch up ....EDiM 7 Draw an oven. I don't have a microwave but here's my small oven which is about the same size. It works well but it would make my life so much easier if it had 2 shelves

Thumb

a quick thumb, in between making two lasagnas (and the washing up that comes with it)  and a hint of what I intend to do tonight........too lazy to do the text but the book is "Life after Life" by Kate Atkinson....a book I should have read before today so I could have gone to the book club.....this afternoon. Enjoying it !
(and maybe a manicure to sort out my wrinkly hands)

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone!


Better late than never.I have deserted my blog for a long time but now back finally.
The good news is that I have been busy with commissions but, must admit to some holiday laziness too.
In Hong Kong we have another holiday on the 31st too, so am going to make my resolutions for the Chinese New Year.....

Everyday in May 20 wine

Draw your favourite drink. I couldn't decide between this or coffee.
I sat on the balcony at sundown, a great time to have a chilled glass of wine after a long busy day.
I started to sketch as a big thunderstorm approached so I had to retreat inside.
The thunderstorm was quite dramatic and right over Lamma.

....storm in a wine glass.
