NO ENERGY TODAY

sandyzeb — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 05:43:00 +0000

Some days are like that. I tried to create a quick drawing out of my imagination to illustrate how empty the house feels for a day after there has been company and then they have left.

This is suppose to represent the end of the party.

or …something like that.

Let’s see if I can explain it better. When you have people staying over for a few days they bring their “aura” or energy with them. But then when they depart, part of the energy is still there, but not enough to sustain their presence… but it is an odd feeling, like the walls haven’t quite released them yet so the house feels a little strange or empty.

It’s been a busy month and actually I can hardly keep my eyes open. I think I need to catch some sleep.

See ya.

Oops I had to come back and get my wine. I left it by the chair.

TODAY’S SKETCH ENTRY – RELAXATION

sandyzeb — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 18:42:00 +0000

We’ve been very busy with family for the last couple of weekends (which I enjoyed), but tomorrow, after having the grandkids this week, is my day to relax. I am not going to do anything but contemplate the peace.

And after I’ve contemplated the peace, then I will get up and clean the toilets.

JAPANESE MOLESKIN SKETCH GROUP

A LINK to a group of artists from around the world who participate in a Japanese fold Moleskine sketchbook exchange. I haven’t had time yet to really enjoy this site, but I think it will be interesting.

There is a place on the net that sells Japanese moleskine books and they are very inexpensive, plus they fold out with pleated pages.

I read about this at Freekhand blog plus he has some other links to flicker site and other artists who are participating.

I just thought a few of you might find this interesting.

I wanted to try it with one of my older drawings so I chose the sunflower.

ANOTHER PARAKEET

sandyzeb — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 15:41:00 +0000

Colored pencil in my sketchbook.

I always enjoy drawing parakeets.

My sister has been here but going home today. I was surprised I actually had time for a little art.

But..the kids kept us busy and we enjoyed watching the cousins together.
