Memorised sky #3

Memorised Skies #1

Super moon rising at sunset.

This last weekend I attended a printmaking class, given by good friend Royden Card. Learning a lot (including how I do not have the patience for the making of a true print maker, sorry Royden!), I did not have the energy to draw the most amazing sky activity all weekend. I had to simply memorise and try to redraw from that. This was the first. Oh the joy of the instant iPad!

The end to a great day

 

A fine birthday few days... Thanks to everyone for their best wishes, cards gifts and company and of course love!

The sunset was beautiful tonight.

Smoke softened skies

Bush fires near and (and far) always give a subtlety to the sky. This fire is burning north of Toquerville on the BLM lands, about 30% contained. Let's hope they nail it today, and everyone stays safe.

Birthday balloons

Today I turn 53... This is a very simple drawing using the circle mode and infill, plus some freehand line in SketchBook Pro. I love the balloons, Thank you Sabine, they make you so playful. Looking forward to a fun day.

Bonnie's Broom

Unexpected birthday celebrations have begun. I turn 53 tomorrow, and the celebrations started yesterday with amazing food of a pot-luck lunch after our ladies aqua aerobics class. Bonnie picked some of her Broom (above ) and Sabine gave me the first rose of the season (below).

I am blessed with good and loving friends.
