Day 8! May 11th (Great Sand Danes)

A friend of mine sent a picture of Great Sand Dunes National Park, which made me think of great danes, so I doctored the picture and sent it back:

 

I said something about how it must be "great sand danes" because if you zoom in, you can see them. 

I also got to see the sunrise this morning! So beautiful. 

 

And I did draw a mermaid from memory, but it looks pretty blechhh. Definitely need to practice drawing people (and mer-people lol)

Day 7! Friday, May 10th

Today was a lovely, productive day! I started painting the theatre block I had borrowed, and decided to paint a canvas with the same blue color because it was really striking. I drew a pup in a style of my own as well.

 

As I was driving, I saw a Scarlet Tanager bird- one I've never seen before. It was so bright red and soooo gorgeous 😍❤

This rubyetc post was pretty inspiring and joyful 😀

Day 6! May 9th

I got the official notification that I could volunteer for the weekend camp today! I was so happy. I also got a call for an interview for tomorrow! What a beautiful day 😊

On top of that, Kristin and I were able to catch some of the annual youth art and music show,  for which I would love to volunteer someday! 

Day 5! May 8th

I locked my keys in my apartment today, so I walked to Walmart to get some art supplies to use while I waited. I found a sketch book on clearance for $1.59 and some crayons for 48 cents. I tried to go as cheap as possible since I already have a lot of art supplies. I then walked to Taco Bell, got lunch, and drew a unicorn, which is quite often a go-to subject 😜

It was all freehand, since I didn't even have my phone on me- it was locked in my car lol. The hair, later on, reminded me a bit of squid or octopus tentacles 😂🤣

Later, at the dog park, I came across these super interesting plants along one of the paths. One looked sort of mushroomy and the other reminded me of giant trees- like the kind Edward Cullen scaled up with Bella in the Twilight movie.

 

Locking my keys in the apartment was definitely a blessing in disguise. I actually enjoyed the time to just be- to really absorb everything around me as I was walking and to take my time with a crayon drawing. It was a nice day all around. 

Day 4! May 7th

I drew Michaelangelo- the ninja turtle. He's always been my favorite TMNT because he's fun-loving and has a great sense of humor.

He loves to have fun and loves to make others laugh and help them see joy in everything. Reminds me of Gare. Today is their wedding anniversary. Even during the wedding he made her laugh. Miss you, buddy 💛💔                           

    

Day 3! May 6th

I drew a dude from Venture Bros. on May 6th.

 

I also saw this epic "Period Panties" meme. So good!

Day 2! Sunday, May 5th

Temi came to church with me this week! The sermon was on anger, and they used the Anger character from "Inside Out" on the slides, so I drew him.

 

After church, Temi and I played some tennis, got lunch at Cousin's, and then walked around the mall for a while. It was a nice day! I also managed to get a pic of a cute purple flower on the side of the duplex.
