Happy Thanksgiving!

Blind Contour Friday ~ Week 5

This is a quick blind contour drawing of something in my office.

I wonder if you can tell what it is?

Wrong guesses will not quell the pleasure I get from these little drawings but will ignite a desire to try harder.

I hope everyone will make time each week to take a part in Diahn's Blind Contour Fridays. I hadn't done these drawings in years but I can tell it is having a positive effect on my skills. Thanks Diahn!

Blind Contour Friday ~ Week 4

I am a few days late in posting for this weeks Blind Contour Friday but it has been a very hectic time. Hopefully things will slow down early next week.

Blind Contour Friday ~ Week 3

Here is the blind contour drawing for week 3 which is being hosted by Diahn. It is of a "Lady's Head Vase" with flowers which is one of my favorite pieces given to me by my Mother.

I have attached a photo of the vase for anyone who isn't familiar with Lady Head Vases. The flowers are the original ones that came with the vase many years ago.

Blind Contour Friday ~ Week 2

Since I usually draw and paint in great detail I wasn't sure how I would feel about participating in the weekly Blind Contour Drawing hosted by Diahn but I am having fun. I find myself thinking throughout the week about what I can draw next. I was in a hurry this morning as I left for work I forgot to pick up something to draw...I copied Diahn and drew my left hand...HeHeHe. If you aren't participating you are missing out on the fun!

Struttin'

I think I am finished with this guy. He is actually more teal than the blue in this photo.

I will set him aside where I can see him for a few days just in case I am missing something and then on to the crystal vase.
