My Last House

The house I lived in looked exactly like this. I live there 6 years. I downsized to a condo in January 2000. We went through one hurricane (1999) Irene (The First Irene).  Flooded to the front door, but not beyond it. He parked the truck in front of the two windows because the windows were rattling. Good thing he had because the truck was below a 50 foot pine tree, some of which fell where the truck would have been parked. We were stuck inside for awhile because of the flooding. Yes there were storm shutters, but we weren't suppose to have the hurricane go right over us. We went to bed at 9 p.m. when the power went out. We had a small battery powered radio.  When we woke up at midnight, we heard the announcer say, the "eye" is going over us now.  WHAT!  The Eye of What?  Not good coverage of hurricanes back then.

There is a screened room on the other side, no garage.

There are so many talented artists at Paint Party Friday.  Be sure to check them out.

Dreaming

I chose to continue with faces.  Only this one just popped into my head. It is really of no one specific. The owl is a favorite beautiful bird.  It is an ACEO card with prismacolor pencils.

Join the Paint Party Friday artists.  They are unique and each one is a bit different. Enjoy.

The Reverend

 The Reverend had requested I sketch his picture after he had seen one I had sketched of my girlfriend. He first looked at it and said, "That's me!"

I used FaberCastell DESIGN EBONY Jet Black Extra Smooth pencil to sketch, General's Pastel Chalk White and Prismacolor pencil Brown on Heavy #80 Sketching paper.

Be sure and stop by to see what our other artists are doing on Paint Party Friday.

Cloudy Day - Quick Art

My Art teacher said to sketch quickly.

On the way to the mall, daughter driving, I quickly (10 min) made a sketch of the clouds and added a house and tree.  It's suppose to be just a quick sketch for practice.

At least it is recognizable.

I used FaberCastell DESIGN EBONY Jet Black extra smooth pencil #6325 and Prismacolor pencils. The Drawing paper is Strathmore medium 6" x 8"

Fun to go fast, but don't know what's going to be coming out. . .the other suggestion is to sit in front of the tv and just keep drawing really fast.  YIKES, don't watch much TV, but that is FAST! I'll have to try it.

Be sure and visit other Paint Party Friday artists. There are so many different collages, journals, and great art.

Janet
