Doodle A Day: Sirloin Tips


No, Uncle Morris hasn't won the lottery. Although, truth be told he does enjoy playing on occasion. It's beef night! And they're serving sirloin tips on the promenade deck. Go! And don't forget your stretchy cabana shorts!

Yay!!


I have accepted a blog award from Jessie Lilac (thank you, thank you , thank you!!) and hadn't posted what I was supposed to (sorry! I need two of me and an extra brain) to accept it so.......
Seven things I love:
1. my God
2. my 2 contributions to the human race. I am beyond blessed to be their mother.
3. Family and friends. 
4. Illustration!! I love to read about it, dream about it, think about it. It's something I must do!
5. Laughing...especially the kind that makes milk come out of your nose.
6. A cup of coffee. I have one in the morning and one at night, with cream and sugar. (I'm enjoying some decaf right now) Do you have any french vanilla?
7. Learning. I plan on doing just that for as long as I live.

Now for the second part. Passing this award on....Thanks for the inspiration!

Doodle A Day: Perturbed Waiter


"May I take your order?" (insert your favorite fancy accent).

(psst! today's special is a creamy butternut squash soup served with a slice of crusted sourdough.)

Considering his mood, this guy never would've told you that. I'm just glad I was able to fill you in.

IF: Flawed


Seems like this High Wire Extraordinaire's plan may be a tad flawed. Poor bear. It's a long way down.

I think I should continue the background behind the lady. And the line across the bear from the watercolor is not supposed to be there. I'm still learning..

Doodle A Day:Tightrope Walker


This is for a project I'm working on. I've not posted as much this week. I've had a sick child and have managed to hurt my neck/shoulder. I can't turn my head to the right. I think it might be a combination of the way I lean on my arm to paint and sleeping on it funny. That said, I do have high hopes that I'll be able to get this week's IF in on time. I did learn some good news. Jessie Lilac has given me my first blog award! Thanks Jessie! I'm so thankful you take the time to stop by and, on top of that, enjoy my work:) I'll be doing a post for the award and will pass it forward. Eek...who to pass it on to? So many fantastic people out there....
