EDM what did you have for dinner...... well part of it.

I was so worn out after work tonight all I had the energy to eat was a pear. So I drew a pear.

We have gone from rain every day to 85 degrees and humidity plus !!!

It was so hot in PetsMart yesterday and today ( with a hot flash every so often for good measure) that I thought I was going to melt. So when I got home I wanted to crawl into the refrigerator. The thing that looked best was a ice cold beer and a pear !!!!

So hear is my pear. Sorry no beer bottle. Too tired to draw two pictures. !!

Playing Catch up on EDM's . . .

Okay, I am still pretty technically challenged, and for some reason I could never get the picture of the glasses to upload right side up.

So in frustration you get it this way. Maybe better next time. Who knows.

I did these three with markers. I usually do watercolor, but, I also love markers and just felt like using those tonight.




I am finally done with the wedding invitations and had a day off from work, so I can play a little catch up with the EDM's for May.

I may have done some earlier that I numbered the same as these, and I know I did a shoe already, but, I just had an urge to do this cute flip-flop.

Next two days will be spent doing lots of dog training classes at work, and a graduation party for a sweet girl from work. Hope everyone's weekend is wonderful.

Guess what we had a whole day today without rain, and suppose to be the same tomorrow. YEAH !!

I had to draw something. . . . . .

EDM 16. . Finally drawing again. !!

Okay, I could no longer stand it.

After getting the 160 wedding invitations and inside envelopes addressed in calligraphy,I had to draw something

Since all I am hearing and seeing are raindrops, I decided to just do EDM 16 for me. Draw a tool.

Well for me I consider my trusty mechanical pencil a tool. This is the result I came up with after coming home from a night of dog obedience training. About all I had the energy for.

Enjoy my purple pencil !!

Rain go away.

Rain, Rain, go away, and don't come BACK !
I live in Liberty, MO. A town right outside of Kansas City, MO. All it has done here for the past three weeks is rain, rain, and more rain. We may never dry out. I want to go outside and take pictures and sketch and paint !!!

Link to my son Andrew's blog. . . . . .

My son Andrew informed me that if I was going to put his artwork on my blog, that I should link his blog to my blog. I said, well your mom is old and technically challenged, but, that I would do that. Sooo here is the link to my son Andrew's art work. http://www.andrewbrant.com/ He is a starving artist of sorts, who tonight called and informed me he is moving in August from Chicago to New York city ( the East Village) to live with his girlfriend while she finishes her Masters in French Education at NYU. What can I say, he is a 25 year old adult. More power to him.
Anyway, check out his blog.

I will let everyone know. . . .

Thank you to all of you who commented on my book, and said they wanted one when they were finished. I will for sure let everyone know !!!!
Thanks for all the support from all my blogland artist friends. Love ya all.
