2011 0604 Mah Jong tile necklace

My niece found this and sent it to me - she knows how much I enjoy playing the game!

2011 0604 After a nap

Yesterday was unseasonably cool, and it rained in the afternoon. What else could I do but take a short blissful nap?

EDiM 31 Spray bottle

Soothing aloe vera gel after too much sun!
My last one for EDiM (drawing Every Day in May), it has been a great pleasure to share art with others this month.

EDiM 30 School supplies

Technically, not school supplies for me- they are from my previous profession way before computer drafting!

EDiM 29 People doing something

Tyler and Emily fishing off the dock at the cottage Memorial weekend. I had to do this from a photo I took. I need lots of practice to get figures correct in person!

EDiM 28 A view through a doorway

The headboard was made by me (plywood, foam, batting & fabric). The fabric has French words: le lieuve et le feuillage dansent une ronde dans le jardin sauvage. I 'think' in English - The leaves and the foliage do a round dance in the wild garden.

EDiM 27 A Skyscape

The view from my deck this morning.
So- it looked like rain on the right, but it was still sunny on the left.
It's ended up being a very sunny, hot day!

EDiM 26 A Sponge

This is the most sketches I have done in a day, I think. The last six for EDiM!

2011 0528 a lake near White Haven. PA

I completed this in the morning, with my coffee, sitting in the warm sun. So relaxing!

EDiM 25 a bird

This Harry (for Harry Houdini, the escape artist!) one of my peach-face lovebirds. He is inquisitive, affectionate, and always ready to come out and play!

EDiM 24 something yellow

Based on their paper labels, I always think the aureolin is going to be the darker warmer one, but the cadmium yellow hue leans toward an orange tint!
