Resting....

Well on day 12 of my "cold" I finally went to the doctor.  Sinuses, ears and eyes have developed infection, and of course I have a lovely cough too....SO now I have antibiotics and eye drops and hope to start feeling better soon.  Anyhow, that's why no recent art posts have popped up.  I have picked up a pen and paper a few times, but just put them back down again.  Hope to be back in the swim soon.  Right now, I think I'm going to try a nap.

Day 37 of Project 365

Sometimes you're just rudderless, and flowing along in the stream of life...thus "lifestream" flowed out of my pen. 

I've caught a dastardly cold that's left me rather directionless, just doing bits of things between naps.  My ears are completely plugged, everything sounds as if my head is wrapped in layers of cotton batting...sometimes I wonder if this is nature's way of forcing a person to slow down for a while...but really vacation would be a kinder plan wouldn't it?

Hope you are safe and warm and healthy wherever you are.

Day 36 of Project 365

I was just playing and hit on this idea.  The card is colored with a violet Prismacolor Marker, then I used a white gelly roll pen to draw the image.  I liked that the gel ink picked up a tinge of the underlying color.  I think I'll play with this technique some more.  It's very simple, but I really like the look...might be a fun to try with some zentangle patterns.

Day 35 of Project 365

This one is called "Heart Garden"...mostly markers with a bit on pencil and gel pen. ...yep, I'm a heartaholic for certain.

Day 34 of Project 365

Hmmm...I think this one is pretty self explanatory...I think there are lots of these in the world....just waiting to be discovered and treasured again!

Day 33 of Project 365

Do you ever get a hankerin' for "cherries out of season?"  That's the name of this card. 

I think cherries are just such a cheerful fruit!  They look pretty and taste so yummy!  Nothing like being able to get them fresh from the orchard, tree ripened and ready for snacking.  Mmmmm....

On a totally random note, the word "hankerin" above made me think of this commercial I remember from childhood...sure enough, found it on YouTube!

Day 32 of Project 365...and HAPPY FEBRUARY!!

Well, January just buzzed right past didn't it??!

And here is my first art contribution to the lovely month of February..."sweet pansy."

In tender pinks and purples this seems like a very sweet and feminie flower to me, but I like them in all colors!
