Sketches in DC and some EDM challenges

I tagged along on D's trip to Washington DC and sketched every day there. Challenge 296: something orange, is Alexander Calder's Cheval Rouge. (Yes, I know rouge means red, but it was orangey.) Challenge 305 is Calder's "Tom's." (Who was Tom?) And challenge 87 is the remains of my lunch. Also, a relaxing plane doodle, and maybe the first time I have painted on a plane.

More drawing lab


I'm continuing the Drawing Lab fun. Lab 13 was eyedropper faces. Lab 16 is 100 faces, which will take some time.

Cookie making mess


In the middle of baking many batches of cookies, some to send overseas, others to keep, I had to make a sketch of the mess.


Drawing labs 11 and 12


I've been trying some more of the drawing ideas in Carla Sonheim's book. Here are 11 and 12.

I've been enjoying Carla Sonheim's book, Drawing Lab, and trying to get family members to do the projects, too, with only mild success. But I'M having fun.

Irises, tulips and Dr. Seuss flowers















I love irises. I went to draw them at the Missouri Botanical Garden. It was so relaxing to sketch flowers. I want to find out the name of these poofy ones. They look like something Dr. Seuss would have drawn.
