AEDM - Day 5 ~ Rumi Quote

Techically I guess I should have posted on November 5 but I hit 'publish post' a few minutes after midnight EST! Oh well, I'll have another later for Day 6!

Rumi is one of my favorites and I love to illustrate quotes so I have a feeling I will be doing alot more of these now that I found a great quote website to check out. Happy Saturday!

AEDM Day 4 - Emily's Glasses/ Illustration Friday ~ STRIPES

I made this today for two challenges. The AEDM Day 3 as well as for Illustration Friday. I have never participated before in IF. Looking forward to doing it more often. My neice Emily is a real character. In October, she came to visit and whipped out these glasses. She had actually bought them for her grandma (my mom) for her birthday. Which just cracks me up. Of course, my mom loved them. They share the same tastes. Mom is really 9 years old, deep down. And she'll tell you that in a heartbeat. This kid is alot of fun, except when tired and hungry. Watch out.

AEDM Day 3 - Early start today!

Yep, super bright, super early. Practically no sleep at all last night.. oh my goodness, this insomnia is going to be the death of me. I never ever had any issues with rest. I LOVE to sleep. I hope this ends soon. Telecommuting is a tricky thing, I think my days and nights are switched up. I have to just get thru today no matter how tired I am and not nap....then hit the hay early..Aside from that it was great, I got to sketch this morning at about 5 am. LOL!
Here is my sketch and the pains of having a name like Fran...It truly is hard finding an F, forget even my name, the initial is hard enough ;0) ...oh my, if that were my biggest problem in life)) well, I like the challenge of having to sketch every day. Keeps my brain busy looking for things to sketch/paint. I have to work on my abstract this weekend. That is, if I'm not sleeping in on Saturday.

AEDM Day 2

Okay, Day 2 is down. I'm doing it:)) I used a micron, watercolor and gouache. I find that I do certain things in my art that I do with life in general...I rush, don't plan and get mixed results. Slow down and step back, Frannie!

Today was a long day and still continues to be so. Man, I wish my kid would get on the ball with his homework. Every night has to be like this? bleh. Sixth grade is tough..for mom.
