Cough, cough, cough…

 A day at the Art institute gave me a week’s worth of coughing on the couch! I had to send my girls home early, cancel brunch plans, and just lie around and cough…the place was packed and I’m sure I caught it in the Thorne Rooms which has terrible ventilation…








So these two little sketches are all I’ve done all week. I have a beautiful amaryllis in bloom and I couldn’t let it go unrecorded….

  1. First of all, the girls are so grown up--and so cute. This outing just calls for a Greta-style painting of them looking at art, doesn't it? Secondly, I love the boldly inked amaryllis. I guess that's why they say to just go in with a pen and your drawing will be better if you don't give yourself the safety net of an eraser. It sure worked for you! I also like the painted version, but that ink really is all about the sturdy nature of the plant. Feel better!

  2. I like the ink sketching. I think I’ll do some of that next since I have no idea what to do next.

  3. Yes, the girls viewing art could be a good Greeta-style painting. The ink sketch is a knock out. Perfect in every way. Get better soon - before class starts Saturday, March 15!
