Little Trees


So appropriate that I was gifted with these little trees.
Can't stop playing with them.



I drew these trees in class today, 
before I got the ones in the pics above. Hmmm

Outta Sight

I felt really bad this morning. I had something in my eye. I had it since last night. I tried rubbing it out, washing it out, blinking. Finally caved and called the clinic and went and I'm OK now. The doctor removed what he called a 'pebble'. Jeesh! I'm still freaked out.
I tried to draw when I was feeling so bad as a way to calm down. NG. But tonite I looked at the drawings and laughed.

A simple drawing?

A simple drawing?
This is an experiment on the first day of my blog.

My friend, Deb, suggested making a 'simple drawing' each day and posting it. I thought a bit about what would constitute a 'simple drawing' but my thinking became complicated and so did my drawing. I got lost in the tree branches, trying to make sense of the tangle. I ended up with a real mess and the drawing got crumpled up and tossed. Twice. The I decided to try again and just to pick out a smaller reference area. I also put on some Brazilian jazz to try to relax. After all, I look to making pictures as something soothing. This final picture did come more easily, though I wouldn't say I'm feeling mellow.

I'm enjoying my view from my living room window.
