Day 41 - From Where I Stood
Holy break in my 365 days of drawings (almost 6 months! HA!) Figures that on Father's Day I would get a moment to draw :) Don't get your hopes up....but it sure was fun to pick up the old sketch pad again.

Day 39 - Looking For Light
We are having a surprisingly warm November for the Chicago-land area, so the girls and I headed outside after nap time. After making play-doh butterflies, the girls wanted to color on the sidewalk with chalk. While they did that, I grabbed my sketchbook and drew a quick sketch :)

Day 33 - Two Minutes
One of my little ladies has been in timeout quiet often lately... so the drawing today was inspired by the many Two Minute sessions we have been having :)
PS... once again, sorry for the break in posts. A nasty upper respiratory thing has been making it's way through our house, leaving me sick, or busy taking care of my sick family :) Love this time of year :)

Day 32 - Angel
I sat down to draw a picture ... and it wasn't turning out the way I had seen it in my head. So I grabbed a new piece of paper (my sketch book is now full, need to get a new one) and this is what appeared. It looked like a perfect angel to me.

Day 27 - Sitting
You have my mother to thank for this picture :) Life kicked in full force over here, and I have not made the time to sketch. My mom called me tonight, and was wondering where the daily posts were!?! I forgot that even a quick sketch is still a sketch. Hope I am back on sketching track! So here is a 10 minute quickie. It felt good to get back in the drawing chair :)

Day 26 - Little D
I was looking through some prints online, trying to find some drawing inspiration, and I found a beautiful painting of a girl sleeping under a tree. The girl reminded me of my Little D, so there was my inspiration. Here is my girl, fast asleep, under a tree :)

Day 24 - About A Girl
The girls are endlessly asking me to paint. What is it about painting that is so much fun?! Well, once I got the watercolors out again, I remembered how much fun painting is! I do need to get paper that is designed for watercolor. :)

This D painting is not new. She did this a while back, and it has always been my favorite. I have it hanging in my kitchen (waiting to be framed). D knows how much I love this picture..... so today when I asked her about drawing for the blog, she asked if I would put this one on the computer :) JOY! So now you all may share in it's beauty.

I was at Target this week (surprise, surprise) and they had water color sets on clearance. I got a couple for the girls and I to play around with. We all had a great time painting tonight :)
PS... tomorrow and Sunday are going to be crazy busy around here, so there might be a delay in posts....just for a couple days.

Day 20 - One of a Different Color
The girls had a dentist appointment this week. The office walls are covered in pictures of fish and ocean life. I was thinking about maybe painting some animals on the girl's room at home. So I thought I would try my hand at a couple animals. Here is the first one! The girls were pumped... so we shall see if he makes it up on the wall.

This sketch was inspired by a drawing I found while surfing around. I thought I would give it a try. :) Today was a super busy day... not much time to draw, so she worked out perfect for day. Simple lines, forming a peaceful girl.

Day 14 - Just One Bite
With my back out again, drawing has been difficult to accomplish. So my daily posting may be a little sporadic until I get this back under control :) As you can see from most of my posts, I favor drawing women. So I thought I would try to do something new to work outside my comfort zone. My girls were watching Snow White the other day, and that movie gave me the idea for this drawing. In my imagination, this is where an evil witch would go to pick a poison apple.
