challenge 10--draw your hand

I wonder how many times I have drawn my left hand. 

challenge 81--draw a lamp post

I drove around and sketched some lamp posts, and then took Jenny's suggestion and did the lamp post from The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. I suppose that is the ultimate lamp post! 

challenge 79...draw an ear

This was a fun challenge. I think it is interesting to see the different ears of people in the same family. I still need to draw mine and one more. I like the penciled ears more than the inked ones.

challenge 3...draw a wallet

When DH came back from a trip to Korea, his hosts sent him back with this wallet for me! I used it for years and still love it, although I have retired it. It is faded but has some kind of Korean picture on the leather. I drew it in pen, then colored it with colored pencil. Even after all those years of use, the colors are still visible.
 

challenges 76 and 2

While in Vermont I sketched some flowers and plants, so for challenge 76 (draw a flower) I painted this black-eyed Susan from that sketch and the notes on color I had. The desk lamp is for challenge 2. I'm slowly making my way through the challenges. 

challenge 77...draw something cold

Today the girls and I went to Starbucks for "the usual", and when we tried to pay, we were told that the car behind us was paying for our order. We didn't recognize the car, so I got out to see who it was. It was a man and his daughter. The man pointed to my bumper sticker and said, "Your son is a Marine. This is on me." I thanked them. What a sweet thing to do! I'll have to tell my son.

This is a grande iced tea, a wonderful cold drink when it is so hot outside.

I have heard of people doing nice things for our troops, but this is a first for this Marine mom. 

challenge 8...draw your watch

I drew my watch, which was in pieces due to a need for a new watch band, on the same pages as my sketches from Bread Co this morning.

I did get a new band.
