So...I think I can at least say I spent my last day of my spring break exactly like I wanted to...slept in, went to Zumba, a little TV time, lunch with the husband, nap/coma after lunch...after I woke up...figured I might as well soak up those last few rays...so I headed to the pool... I worked on the random mermaid that I started yesterday...I did think for a second about going to the beach again this morning...then I fell back asleep. I am positive I made the right decision. ...and there it was- the last sunset of my Spring Break. By that time I was working on my CED #78 while I was waiting for the watercolor background to dry on my mermaid. I was going to post a digitally enhanced version of #77 for today's CED...but my friend Jess is sick so I will have to wait...she has the software and the awesome computer...so that can wait. Plus, I need her expertise...me and Photoshop...we are strangers. I might post again later tonight...might not. Gotta make myself go to bed early so I will be ready to teach tomorrow. I miss you already, Spring Break!
...so I packed a bag, drove to the beach and set up my chair to sit and draw a mermaid. Not that I needed to be at the beach...but I do think it helped to hear the waves and to smell the saltwater. Might have to do that again tomorrow.... Drawing board, check. Bristol pad, check. Pencil, check. Erykah Badu in my ears, check. Inspiration, check. ...it's not finished...but it's a start. Big-eyed mermaid, looking in surprise and awe at her underwater world...to be continued... Oh, and CED #17 is finished and posted. Figured I would go ahead and post. |
