This weeks Sunday sketch is the last of my rose pickings in the neighborhood.
There are barely any roses about anymore...
aside from me picking them!
The Montauk daisies aren't blooming yet, but
I can't wait till they pop out:)
I'm going to have to start looking out for some marigolds
or mums to paint in the mean time.
I journalled about a wonderful mediation group I went to this morning with a friend.
It was such a pleasure and felt like I got to clear my mind and shake out the cobwebs.
Plus it was just an amazingly beautiful day, the sky was the brightest blue!

I got some artwork in this past week,
I was able to complete this mermaid illustration for a swap.
Thankfully I was able to scan that and have a good copy to keep. I have been having such trouble with my scanner:( I like how the way she holds her conch shell turned out to look like she is on a cellphone.
I remembered this time to take photos at different stages. I liked how the flowers from the sketch book overlapped so I thought I would do the same with a patch of seaweed and bubbles.
Then I traced the image onto the watercolor paper by covering the
back of the sketch with graphite and then tracing over the front.
I know... I'm so hi tech ;)
I am happy with the quote and was lucky to find a good one.
There aren't that many out there related to mermaids...
Have a terrific week!
Take care:)
