EDM 237 - What You See Under the Bed

I went literal with this. The carpet is what I see under the bed, and in the vacation place where we're staying the carpet is intentionally coordinated with the drapes and upholstery fabric and fireplace. It's "House Beautiful" and genuinely lovely. I guess that's what you end up with when professional interior designers are involved. My real house is much more eclectic...and lived in.

EDM 236 - Palm of Your Left Hand

My left hand holds my favorite piece of jewelry.

EDM 235 - A Butterfly

It isn't butterfly season, so I had to dream one up. The misspelling on this piece was pointed out to me repeatedly, but the ink is permanent. Some mistakes are indelible, I guess.

EDM 234 - Something That Belongs to Another

We're on vacation, so everything around us belongs to someone else, except the memories. Those are mine.

The decor in Williamsburg is timeless. I love the colors, the carved-wood details, and the rich fabrics. I decided to draw one of the posts on our bed...that only belongs to us this week.

EDM 233 - A Favorite Drink

Coffee is not usually my absolute favorite drink, but like so many other things that are made extra special just because they're enjoyed while on vacation, vacation coffee is a favorite. I'm on vacation right now, so coffee is topping the list.

The castle illustration is from the label on the bottle of vanilla syrup we're burning through this week. Vacation is half over; the syrup is half gone. We're right on track!

EDM 232 - The Last Thing You Bought

I love new paint brushes. They just seem to work better when they're new. BUT, I can't throw away the old ones either. You never know when an old one will be just what you need. So the collection just grows.

Sharpenings

Something from my sketchbook today or, more precisely, ON my sketchbook. Finally sharpened my new pencils.
