AEDM-AM I Blue?

I am back from my Thanksgiving Day Vacation and I finally had time to create. Of course I have my little Sunday Drawing.

AEDM - Love Of the Converse

Another sketch for my converse collection. Eventually I might get around to adding color.

AEDM - Woman with Red Earrings

So here is a type of version of Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer's masterworks Girl with a Pearl Earring except it is Woman with Red Earrings. I know my work doesn't compare but this is what I thought of it. I have a 16X20 copy of one of his paintings. Being the reader that I am I read the book by Tracy Chevalier which I loved. Also loved the movie with Colin Firth. I am a Historical Fiction Fan! This is my Sunday drawing for my Worship Service notes. I try to have these done before service begins because I don't want to set a bad example for my children.

AEDM - Seeing Butterflies

We have a wonderful Butterfly Conservatory in our vicinity that I love. The butterflies are free to fly and if you stand still they will land on you. Although I am off on Saturday's my day was full so as usual my creativeness had to wait for the end of the day.

IF: Sneaky

A little sister can be very sneaky when she wants to hug her brother who is non compliant. A quick little drawing for Illustration Friday - Sneaky.

AEDM - The Almighty Converse

Another sketch for my Chuck Taylor Converse Collection. Hopefully I'll get to add color to them next week since I will be off work, but with us going out of town Wednesday I'll only have 2 days. Thursday morning my husband and I will be running in the ATL Half-Marathon and after that I will probably just relax.

AEDM - Life without My Chucks

This sketch is for my Chuck Taylor Converse Collection.So once again my art is limited to a sketch only. Tonight starts the Middle School playoffs. My daughter is a cheerleader so off I go.

AEDM - Work in Progress

So here is my work in progress. I want to do a collection of converse sneakers. Too busy to finish anything today. We had to go to IB Open House. My youngest daughter will be entering High School next year and I feel like we are sending her to college. Schools are testing for entrance in 2011. I miss the simple days when everyone went to the same High School.

AEDM - Lady in the Grass

So I've been doing my housework in the morning before I go to work, so my creativeness has to come at the end of day after everyone has been chauffeured and fed. I wish I could hire a maid. So now at 9:30pm I've finally finished work on Lady in the Grass. I had to leave it alone because sometimes as much as you try you can't work thru it.

AEDM - Sunday drawings

On Sundays I usually doodle before the sermon begins. This is my doodle for today. I usually just keep these drawings in my notebook, but it is still being creative, so I decided to post these little drawings.

AEDM - Face 25

So I finally reached face 25. I don't have a name for this picture.

AEDM - Bus Ride

I worked on this for several hours. I was attempting to have the same strokes in the coat on her face. It's still not what I was hoping to for. More practice needed.

IF: Burning - A Sad Disturbing Story

Things like this I usually just keep in my journal but this is so disturbing everyone needs to know. This week in the New York Times there was a story about Afghan women who set themselves on fire trying to commit suicide. It made me very emotional to think that a woman's life would be better if she set herself on fire and died. Life is not always beautiful. I do not want to close my eyes and forget about others in the world and I wonder WHY?. Let's pray for a better world for everyone.To read the story go here:New York Times www.nytimes.com/2010/11/08/world/asia/08burn.html?_r=1&am...
