Memorial Day Drawing

I put pencil and brush actually to paper over the weekend. As well as some watercolor pencil. Though I don't have much to show for it. The very last hours on Monday, with kids bathed and piled on my bed for some t.v. I grabbed this Gala apple and some watercolor pencils. i didn't use any water.

I found the variety of colors a challenge as well as the darker reds that went around the apple. I didn't have all the colors I wanted in the pencils and in this computer scan, is a little flatter than I hope it appears on the paper.

I would work on it more except it is promised to 2 of the kids who couldn't wait to eat it!

It is odd to me our(the creative person) or at least my passion or obsession depending on how you look at it. After a full weekend of chores and family I wasn't really content till I attempted something in my sketch book.

Few more Every Day in May attempts

It is more like fellow artist Lori put it "Some Days in May". I find that I am not getting to my sketching like I was on vacation. Where I thought I wouldn't get any in. With finishing up school things with the kids and completing an activity book before school lets out next Wends. and they are home all day. I am not getting to much accomplished. I am trying new things based on the influence Every Day Matters group is doing and talking about. For instance I am putting more than one image attempt on a page and in the end it loos like more to me and I hope a more interesting look.

Here are a few attempts over the last couple of days.
