Random fact #1

Ok, I've been meaning to post 7 random facts about me for at least a couple months now, thanks to Sharon (Flat sound of wooden clogs) and Robyn (Have dogs, will travel) who tagged me back in October. Talk about procrastination! LOL. I honestly am not a very interesting person so coming up with a couple is hard enough!

So, I'll start slow and share this one fact: One of my absolute favorite movies is Star Wars. Ok, I admit it, it's my favorite. I have fond memories of sitting with my father who kept uttering, "Wow!" through the whole movie. Back then, lines wrapped around the theaters like never before. There was no such thing as the computer graphics of today ... those space fight scenes were different scenes spliced together! It is pure genius and a movie worthy of all the "Wows!" ever uttered. :) Do you remember the first time you saw the movie?

This postcard is on its way to an awesome art blogger, generous gifter, and fellow Star Wars fan.

Tickly

These local peaches are ripening on the tree. They're a bit fuzzy but wonderfully flavorful. Their tart sweet flesh tickle my throat as I swallow. They are both beautiful AND tasty. Oh, I drew the flowers in previous posts (Pink on Orange), (Perfection) if you'd like to take a look.

P.S. I'm packing for my trip rather belatedly. I realize I must be seriously addicted to drawing because the first things that made it into my suitcase were my pens and pad. :).

I can draw people

This has been my mantra lately, "I can draw people, I can draw people, I can draw people." I don't know if I believe it still but I've been avoiding drawing people for far too long so I promised myself I'd try every chance I get. I used my spankin' new micron pen 01 this evening. It's a nice blue, don't you think?

Wailuku River Bridge

It was just nice to get out of the house and adventure around town this morning. After imbibing way too much coffee at home and appeasing my vice for more Pigma micron pens at my local art store, I spent a little bit of time sketching Wailuku River Bridge, coloring it in watercolor at home.

Breakfast haiku

Breakfast at Keo's
While heading to a conference
Yummm, bacon!

LOL. I'm back! Just got back from the Hawaii Conservation Conference. I've been itching to draw ALL week and am thankful to be back home. Toodles everyone! I'm off to draw ... something! :)

Banyan Tree

Banyan trees are just fun trees to draw. This is one at Wailoa State Park. It's found at one end of the park, where I take Kanoe for a walk and watch people fishing for mullet or papio.
