Still Life #24

This is a drawing of the pens that I have been using to do all of these drawings. I did drain one of these completely in the process of doing this month of still life drawings.

Still Life #23

A quick bad drawing of Micah's phone. I was really tired.

Still Life #22

Anyone guess what this is? It didn't really translate well in just pen...would be an awesome and very challenging painting or colored pencil drawing. It's a blown glass paper weight that Micah got from his grandfather for Christmas one year. It's really cool. Clear, white, and blue glasses.

Gracie's pink elephant chewy toy. She loves this thing. It also has a rattle in it. She will take her pacifier out just to chew on this elephant...now that is love!

Ink drawing of the new water bottles we got last week.

I am way behind updating the blog. Luckily I am not that far behind on all of the actual drawings.

Here's my drawing for tonight. As you can see I am kind of focusing my life in changing for the better. Hopefully tomorrow we can get some pedometers and some extra things to work out with. Also I would like to go get some more fresh fruits & veggies. Hopefully soon my energy level will be up so I can figure out how to get more done in a day. I have a few still life ideas in my head that I would like to do before the end of this month that would be more involved than the one's I've done so far this month. But they will take time.

This is a make up drawing for last night. My husband wanted to have some of my undivided attention so the drawing didn't get done.

Today was the first day of working out on the wii active. I was inspired by a friend of mine who is starting to do P90X. I am not ready for that. So I am going to use what the Good Lord has already blessed me with. And I bet I will see results.

Tonight we had a great meal of gnocchi in a cream sauce with chicken, mushrooms, onions, and red & yellow peppers. Seasoned with thyme, tumeric & sage. And a wedge of iceburg lettuce, tomatoes, & homemade blu cheese dressing.

Micah and I started brainstorming ideas for a Mario board game to play with Isaiah. So that he can play and not just sit and watch Mario video games. I am pretty excited about it. I will had paint the game board on canvas & create all the game pieces & components.

Here's a simple drawing. I am tired. I don't really like it as well but that's all I have for tonight

Still Life #14

This drawing is a bit better. Still kind of off but I am sure if I kept drawing this over and over I would finally get it right.

Happy Pi Day! Here's my first attempt at drawing our pi cookie cutter. This is my make up drawing from last night that I didn't do. And it's not very good at all, the perspective is all off. But that's the problem with drawing with pen is if you don't get it down right, you can't erase it. I am not sure what I will do with all of these once I have them done...probably incorporate them into something later.

Here's a drawing of one of the lovely flowers my husband bought me. This one was purple with yellow in the center. I really like how this one turned out.

Sorry I've been behind on my blogging and truthfully I was behind on my drawing. This was the first thing that I grabbed on the computer desk on Friday night after small group training.

So today was Parent Vacation Day. More so for me than it was for Micah since he had to go to work. But this morning I woke up at 6:30am and I made us breakfast. I drove Micah to work and went to Dick Blick and got thoroughly spoiled. Then, Micah and I went to lunch and I got a bunch of beautiful flowers. Went home and rearranged the flowers, took a shower, and I picked him up and presented him with a boutonniere with the flowers that I had. We went out for sushi and we opened gifts of new pens that we then used for the rest of our date at the coffee shop. We went to the Java House and had coffee and dessert. We sat in the fabulous chairs that I sketched. They were like a red velvet soft upholstry. I would love to have something like this in my home. Comfortable and extremely beautiful! Micah and I are both sitting here yawning at 8:22 at night. Our oldest probably isn't even in bed yet.
We will probably head home soon. Gone I guess are the days we actually desire to sit here all night

Tonight my folks came and picked up the kids so that we can attend a small group training this weekend. So we went out for dinner & dessert tonight all by ourselves. Today was also the first day that Gracie ate rice cereal from a spoon & Gracie started saying "dada" on the 7th.

This is a pen that we got from River of Life Church. It says "Our God is a Big God". It's drawn with a Pilot precise v5 rolling ball fine point black ink pen.

Mario Drawing

OK. Here's what I came up with, colored pencils. Which the colored pencils I love. The drawing...eh not so much. But I did learn a lot from this drawing. I worked from a little plastic toy that Isaiah has...but my drawing still looks pretty flat. I will probably use this as a still life again. Well when my son is sleeping.

Still Life #7

You win some and you loose some. Not so thrilled with this drawing. But the best part of having food as your subject matter is that you can eat the still life and no one will know where you messed up. But if my 3 year old son can at least tell it's something you eat, it's worth not throwing away. For those of you who did not eat at my house tonight, Isaiah's left overs are a half eatten slice of supreme pizza. This pizza was one of those that you take and bake from Aldi's. I think I may try my hand at another drawing tonight using some colored pencils...and maybe a ballpoint pin.

Still Life #6

A rubber stamp that I had laying around the house.
