AEDM: Day 28, 29,30 The End

Day 28 Am I Blue?

It's the end of the Art Everyday Month. I didn't get to post because of holidays. Thanksgiving was at our home this year. My husband has 6 siblings, some their children, 3 of our daughters, plus grand nieces, nephews plus mother-in-law, my house was full. We had great fun and fellowship. Here are the last of my creations.

The days are going by so fast and I can't seem to keep up. Making art everyday is not an easy task. Art Everyday Month has kept me focused on  attempting something everyday although I don't always keep up with posting it. I going to miss this challenge when its over. Here are my submission: Day 22 Old Lady Walking, I hope to finish this. Day 23 is a copy of a photograph of my oldest daughter when she was little with her freckled face friend. Day 24 Overcome Evil with Good sometimes the evil wants to take over our lives but we have to fight it with good. Don't let the bad things make you so unhappy that you can't find the joy. Day 25 My hope, her eyes are on the hope of God's word. Day 24 and 25 are in my large sketchbook that doesn't require me to be perfect, just let it go.

AEDM: I fell off the wagon Day 19,20, & 21

Day 19

I was doing great keeping up, but life got in the way of creating. My two Blue Girls are still unfinished, although I tried to work on them. My heart wasn't into it. So I did another bird, a really ugly catumpkin idea, and practiced drawing student portraits in my giant sketchbook.

Day 20

Day 21

AEDM: Day 18 The Unfinished Blue Girls

I didn't get to finish these girls, but I'm going to post them any way.

AEDM: Day 17 What a Bird

Yellow crowned night heron

My entry for AEDM, yet another bird. This is a Yellow Crowned Night Heron. If you are interested in these birds, they are found in Florida. Once again I took liberty with their color.

Day 17

AEDM: Day 15 Drawn to birds

www.animalspot.net

Don't know why I'm drawn to birds lately. I almost didn't make it for day 14. It has been such a long day. I added the color of the feathers to match the beak.

Day 15 Crested caracara

AEDM: Day 13 On Track

                  Finally on the right day with the Art Everyday Challenge. Thank goodness for slower days. My Immunization Audit is over, so when the Clinic visits slow down I can attempt a drawing. I was just doodling on some scrap paper from school dated 2004, and this is what I ended up with. Which by the way I like and wish it wasn't on scrap paper.
So after I got off work I went and purchased some art paper. I cut it in half so I can take out the scrap paper I keep in my file drawer, next time when I'm just doodling it will be on good paper. I tried to convince myself that, that is what sketchbooks are for, but I don't always want to draw in a sketchbook

I'd rather be in my garden

AEDM: Day 7,8, and 9 Almost

Still playing catch up. I'm almost there. Day 7 -So I took a throw away painting and tried to make something of it. I crop it to try to make the final painting look interesting.  Day 8- I did some student portraits. Day 9- I was finished preparing for my immunization audit at work and I made my tree. I love to look at it from my desk.

Day 9

AEDM: Day 5 & 6

I am still setting myself free, although time is limited, this is what I did today. The first is a painting in my Giant Sketchbook. I just go with the flow. "When a  Blue cloud is over you and you are praying for it to go away. Remember there is hope in the waiting. Psalm 59:9 Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defense.

Day 5: Blue trying to take over

Day 6: Self portrait

The second illo is from my iPad and paper 53. I need to practice the things I forgot about using the pencil. It's a portrait of me with my favorite jean jacket on.

AEDM Day 11 & 12 - Faces

 Once again life moving faster than I want. I was unable to post on Veteran's Day so I am posting 2 illustrations for Art Everyday Month.

AEDM- DAY 10 - The Pen Process

When I draw my student portraits I draw in ink only, no pencil. I do this to better my skills, usually I can make it on the first try, but sometimes I just can't seem to capture them. This young man is one subject that took 3 tries to get it right.


Eyes are crooked

Eyes and head wrong

 

This one is just right

I thought that I would get to post a pic on Saturday, But my family had other ideas for my Saturday.  I only had time to think about art.

AEDM Day 8 - Red Shoes

 I've been wanting to draw this little pic, but I didn't get the perspective I wanted. It should be looking from the shoe up. So I'll try it again, but for now it's my entry for Art Everyday Month.

AEDM Day 7 - Woman on a Bridge

I really want to create masterpieces, however time is limited, so a simple drawing with limited color.

AEDM: Day 17, 18, & 19 That Blue Girl

I have been so busy preparing for my daughters 15th  birthday celebration that at the end of the day when I laid down to take a quick nap I just didn't have enough steam to get back up. Well now its over and I can get back to art.

I'm posting 3 drawings to make up for the days I miss. They are a continuation of my Blue Girl series. As I was doing these it made me think back to watching the Mary Tyler More Show and That Girl in the 70's. I guess it's the clothing. I wish I had time to put detail in the background of my drawings.

AEDM - Day 16: That Blue Girl

Another little drawing of that Blue Girl Series. When I was a teen I thought I would live in New York, I loved the city, never in a million years did I think I would live in the south, married to a southerner. In life you can't always predict how things will turn out. But LIFE IS GOOD!

AEDM: Face 21 - Will You Tell Me How Long You Loved Him?

This is one of my favorite lines from Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice Jane's question to Elizabeth about her feelings for Mr. Darcy.
"Will you tell me how long you loved him?
Elizabeth's reply "It has been coming on so gradually, that I hardly know when it began, but I believe I must date it from my first seeing his beautiful grounds at Pemberly" lol. This always makes me laugh.
Day 15 of AEDM another  illo of a couple.

AEDM: Face 20- Is he looking at me?

The first time ever I saw your face



I thought the sun rose in your eyes


And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave


To the dark and the empty skies, my love.
Lyrics by Roberta Flack, Its one of my old favorites. I thought it went with my illustration today. I decided to draw another couple only younger.

AEDM- Surrounded in a Cloud of Blue

Day 10 of Art Everyday Month. Today I didn't want to do my face series, so I did something different- Surrounded in a Cloud of Blue. Don't you hate when that blue cloud surrounds you with that deep feeling of sadness?  Which you allow to encompass you. However you do not have to give into it find that inner strength that God has given you. Choose to be happy.

AEDM- Face 16 :Time to go to Sleep

Art everyday # 8. Not my best work, I'm too tired! I used oil pastels. I wasn't happy with look so recolored on computer.

AEDM - Face 13 - I love Fall

I didn't have time for a story today. As a matter of fact I didn't have time to finish adding color because I didn't want to ruin my drawing. Instead of paint I used pencils and markers for color.
