New drawings...

I love this painting from Arianna!  It looks so abstract and yet I like the geometry and the contours of the lines... Yep, it is a keeper :)

 She draw "her family".  Awwww, I am the one in the left with my new blouse and hair.  Mike is in the middle with whiskers and all.  She is in the right!  She kept saying "This is my family".  

52 projects #8 - Photography and doodling it...

Today was a nice day to be outside.. .so nice that Mike built Arianna's swing set giving to us last fall.  He said that was his weekend project so I guess it is contagious.  Even my mother finished two baby blankets, I will post pictures of those as well in another entry.   :) But  for me, my project was to take some nature pictures (mostly birds and squirrels), I have not done that since I went back to work and realized how much I love it (again ).

Mike also refilled and bought some new bird feeders.  Here we have our first purple finch birds of the season (I can't remember for sure if they are finch, but I remember their name started with purple! )

It always amazes me how flexible this creatures can be and how cute as well.  We also try to have enough food for everyone.  I love this shot of the squirrel eating a piece of pear.

 

What are these birds?  Sparrows? finches?  They come each year... Need to check with my book...

And I'd never seen this one before... Deborah can you help?

I am going to trim my plants for the upcoming Spring... but here we have what will be some awesome Coneflowers and Honeysuckle Vines!

As for my doodling it, I am trying to do my own "Cloth dolls" design, what do you think? The first one is based in a girl that is not skinny, but that loves herself anyhow ;)

This drawings were from memory.  I used to draw them all the time from about 5 - 12 years old.  I wish I would have keep them since I think I was a better doodler when I was little.  I used to call the watermelon doll, maybe I used to make the face more elongated... if I knew who Jay Leno was then, I could have called them the Leno doll since I always drew a bigger chin...

I am trying to draw my cat Jack and make him into a stuffed animal and since I love owls so much, I combined both! (Oh, the doll in the corner was based in Kelly Osbourne... )

The last 2 drawings are for my daughter that loves trees that dance and blue's clues!

Had an awesome time!  (By the way, I bought a juice maker following the cue from Breen and Jane.  Now, I need to buy some yummy vegetables and fruits!  Maybe that will be a future project!)
