Drawrings

Here's some more sketches from my year of drawing... um, thing? Series? Whatever.

Day 5

I had this dream about a teeny tiny butler's pantry with vividly green cabinetry, dramatic Art Nouveau-ish flourishes, and gilt details all over. This is just a vague sketch of it, just to capture the flavor. I don't have the patience to draw all the teeny details. I don't like drawing details, but I love looking at photos and paintings with lots of details. Go figure.

Day 6

Curtains!

Day 7

Pen and ink in the sketchbook. Actually, these are all in my sketchbook.

Day 8

This summer has been so hot and muggy so far---no fun at all. Day before yesterday was a nice respite, though: high of 85 and so dry that it felt like early fall. After work Ricky and I and the kids walked down to the park and played before dinner and it was just so pleasant to be out and moving around without feeling as if someone has wrapped you in a smothering hot wet woolen blanket. Bleagh.

We'll be taking our yearly trips to Texas and California later this summer and it's going to be so good to have a change of scenery. Ian's first plane trips, oh boy! Esther was 9 months old on her first plane ride and screamed her head off pretty much the entire time. I've learned a trick or two about flying with babies since then.
