Turned Around

A quick sketch to illustrate my thoughts today.

EDM 13 - A Telephone

My childhood bedroom had lavender wallpaper with old-timey phones all over it. I picked it out myself. I just remember liking it, and now I like to remember it.

EDM 12 - Tonight's Dinner

How convenient that the list called for a sketch of dinner on the very night we had my favorite meal of the year: the first corn on the cob of the season. And, I love to paint corn. It was my "Summer Joy" for EDiM.

EDM 11 - Glasses

Another all-pen drawing. This was done with five colors. I hardly own more colored pens than that. With pen, it's a little nerve racking knowing you can't pick the color up once it's down. It's a good exercise. AND, hand-drawing THREE similar-looking S's in ONE word. Oh my! I have a thing for blue glass canning jars, so I couldn't resist the double "glasses" reference.

EDM 10 - My Hand

Something inside my head said, "Stop painting!" I'm glad I listened...for once.

EDM 9 - A Bit of Organized Chaos in My Home

A few square inches of the mess in my kitchen utensil drawer.

EDM 8 - Jewelry

I wear this silver ring and bracelet everyday. They're favorites. This is my second pen-only sketch today. Just didn't feel like getting the brush wet today. Maybe tomorrow.
