Challenges, Challenges ... Drawing Where ever and When ever I can

I have joined a new challenge to draw Every Day In May (EDIM) on Facebook.
The following drawings are not in order nor are they all I have done so far, but enjoy these few:
 

Things with Bristles


An old envelope was the first love letter I ever got from my then boyfriend, now husband ... I liked how my paint made the envelop look every bit of it's 38 years of age!


My Favorite Food


Something Hot and Something that Can Be Turned On and Off

 Stairs

 
Headgear


Spice Bottle



A book of Arty Postcards I am now sending one by one to my grand kids for the fun of it!

Now back to Sketchbook Skool, where last Friday Koosje Koosne introduced us to our new teacher, Fabio Consoli!

 
They were both on bikes, she in Amsterdam and he in Italy!
 
 
I drew him again as part of a lesson on goal setting, goals I made up for myself:


And I drew my cat just cuz... The square cut away on his leg was done by the vet to clean cat bites and let his limping leg heal. Old Warrior never one to run from a fight!


On Monday last we went visit my uncle Harry, who is 96 and living in assisted living. We wore him out talking and when he dozed off I drew him as you see him here:

 
 
At lunch time we met some of his friends in the communal dining room ...
 
 
It really makes one contemplate life, and time, and how much we have (left) and
what we are going to do with it ...
 
 
 
We go out to lunch and I draw!
 
 
We go out for Breakfast and Coffee and I draw!
 
 
Starbucks is a great place to find people to draw!


I drew this portrait, as a gift to my friend, Carmel Campbell, in Oregon. She is a klassmate
and dear friend from Sketchbook Skool, who I have had the honor to meet with in person in Oregon and to draw with. We will do that again this summer for sure!
A real bonus from SBS is meeting your klassmates in real life when you can!
Happy Birthday, Carmel!

Thanks for stopping by! I appreciate your visits and your comments, they keep me drawing!

Have a creative week.

    Great EDM sketches...you will get practice sketching lots of different things other than people, who you will continue to sketch anyway in your favorite places. No Taco Jalisco???

    Katie would not have survived at college without Netflix! She binge watches old tv series as well as movies.

    I love the envelope. What a precious artifact of your life. Richard has never had the opportunity to write me a love letter. I had a whole stack from my college boyfriend (we spent two summers half a country apart), but when I married Richard, I got rid of those.
