I love the wonderfull smoothness of these eggs coupled with the slick glossy finish of the mug. You've got a gift for graphite!<BR/> Your painting of the green tea with cookies was awesome too- gorgeous colors!<BR/><BR/>Have a great day :)<BR/>ChristeenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3286489686197113226.post-56387134531800009672008-02-04T17:41:00.000-10:002008-02-04T17:41:00.000-10:00Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!Was there some kin...Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!<BR/><BR/>Was there some kind of natural disaster on the horizon?

I think I need a lot more practice so you'll be seeing more later. :)<BR/><BR/>Kate ... Thanks. This drawing is actually pretty similar to one I did when I was in college. I remember my teacher felt my shadows were too dark (like this one) because shadows on whites aren't ever black. What I didn't tell her is that I snuck into the art building in the wee hours of the morning and did the drawing in virtual dark ... with only one little light shining.Joan Yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00500271748314374941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3286489686197113226.post-45224021699135870032008-02-01T19:49:00.000-10:002008-02-01T19:49:00.000-10:00Wow!
