Catching up with index cards

Keeping up! 
I usually hate the way I draw hands but sort of like how this one came out. I tried to blind contour but i always end up looking thru the course of the sketch. ImaCheater:)) LOL!

My brother is in town for the week - Yipee! My son is so excited to see his uncle.
Going to be a fun weekend! I'm not going to be able to get time off tomorrow to go to the city with my son and brother  I'm not going to bitch about it, it is what it is. Gotta stay positive and I know that we've got the whole weekend to see one another! Glass is half full Frannie!
Have a good day today ...THURSDAY:)))) myfavday

Sketch Sunday

Here's my Sunday Sketch.

We were busy this weekend and I got some painting done which I am happy about.
But I didn't get as much done this weekend as I would have liked
but the most important thing we got done was to get my son set for camp!
I hope he has a terrific summer! 

Have a great week everyone!

ICAD Three (#s 20,21,22)

Playing catch-up this weekend.
Spread out on the back porch today at my mom's house and painted.
Then finished inking up the cards I started but didn't get round to doing earlier in the week: 
Cute little gift we all got with our mother's day presents. Adorable and cheery!

I sort of  THINK this works... CT looked at this and said 'huh?'  LOL

It was a lazy Saturday today.
I am almost embarassed to say I slept till 11am.
I guess I needed the rest, huh?
Camp starts next Monday, already, so we'll have to round up all equipment needed tomorrow and replace what needs to be replaced.
My brother flies in next Wed and stays on our fair island for a week. Lucky fella ;)
We're going to tuck a trip to NYC in there somewhere for sure.
Spring Street here we come!

Enjoy your day!

ICAD #19 - baby its a hot one


I can be OCD about alot of things, like music. I have to play this track everytime I get in my car. I am starting to feel as if Dave Grohl is brainwashing me. I have to get that out of my car. LOL but if not this one then it will be another. If I like something I will play it over and over and over, yikes! Also when I look at artwork I have done in the past I can remember what I was listening to when I was creating it. I bet that happens to alot of people.
Its looking like my white gel pen has seen better days. waaah! I've got to go to Blicks and get another. I swear I go in with good intentions of getting ONE thing and come out with five.

I'm catching up have two more to go. I like these colored index cards. I hope I am not breaking any rules. That hydrangea is still on my table. I hope I can get to it tonight.

The boy is off school these past two days and then goes back once more tomorrow for a half day. God only knows why. I just don't get these half days at all. That has got to be killer for some parents. I am grateful to be able to work from home but what about people that don't? This week he has three half days, Mon/Tues/Fri and last week he had a few....He told me he goes in and watches part of a movie...what's that about?

Okay its gonna be hot here on Long Island today. Record breaking weather.
My Floridian dog is going to love his walk today! 

Take care and keep cool.
