Day hmm 56?? Mask making

May 9, 20204 Comments

But took some time off for art. It’s a must I think.

First was draw a tattoo that reminds you of your mother with Koosje on the sbsdrawingparty on Instagram today. My mom loves flowers and has quite the green thumb. I was making masks today so naturally I thought a mask surrounded by flowers for my tattoo. Moms self quarantining in Asheville NC with my brother.

Draw something nearby with Morgan. Been meaning to draw my grandmothers opera glasses which are quite cool. I take them to art classes to see what the teachers doing better. I also watch the birds with them. They are really quite good binoculars. Brass and mother of pearl with a cool lorgnette that I hope is bake lite plastic NOT ivory.

Lamy joy pen and Namiki Fude.

Margaret whose tired from sewing masks all day. Hugs. Stay safe. Wear a mask! Xoxoxo

Day 55 What Makes you HaPPy?

Today the weather was so gorgeous I had the back porch sliding door open. I could hear the birds sing and crunch on the sunflower seeds. Ditto the squirrels silly things. They made me quite happy today as did listening to Danny’s soothing voice.

Of course I forgot to draw Zoe!! She and I snuggled up in the sofa for a nap after mopping and scrubbing all the downstairs floors dusting the house and changing the sheets. Now it’s tie. For a good nite sleep.

Drawing my well traveled shoes yesterday with Danny Gregory.

And making first of the month resolutions with Morgan yesterday. Hmm did I??

No I sewed facemasks today.

And I fixed my droopy headlight on the Buick. It was about half an inch lower. It had bothered me last nite but couldn’t figure out what was wrong.

Margaret worn out again. Xoxoxoxo

First wash Always a tense moment.

Adding more shadows and what about that old Buick?! My dad had a thing for Buicks.

Well that was fast. Almost done.

Making progress but that grill is ginormous.

Done for today but think I will add a bit of white gouache to the figures to set them off aka light on the shoulders and head.

Been drawing recipes that sound good esp on Saturday from PBS cooking shows.

Here are the latest flock of them. They all sound so good to me so I better get cooking instead of drawing right?!!

Margaret who needs to bake another loaf of bread and start some sour dough starter. So much to do so little time. Xoxoxox

How many times can you draw your Nikon?!

Kind of like all the views though my fav is the top left. Really does look like it looked -looking into the lens.

Like this but too.

I even got the boxes fairly evenly spaced instead of higgle de piggledy. Hurrah. Minor victories in these times.

Drawn with Lamy EF and my Namiki Fude on the letters.

Day 49 Well that was fun

Put your cup of art supplies lower so you have an aerial perspective. I put mine on the floor. Then we did a continual line drawing. Not easy to do all those art tools with one line. Eek. But I tried. Used a Micro uniball.
