IF ~ Expire

The topic for Illustration Friday this week is EXPIRE. Here is what I came up with...

I am so glad to see the snow melting and the Easter lillies sprouting out of the ground, but is sure is sad to see Mr. Snowman melt Expire!

Project 365 Day #77

Here is what I have created for day #77. It is 70* outside here and I was just thinking how wonderful it would be to get back to my most favorite place ever.... THE RIVER ... just to relax and soak in the sun rays.



This is done in prismacolor marker and black sharpie. Size 4.5 X 5.5
I was really happy with it until I added the dark green outline to the lily pad. I tried to soften it with a clear blender but it just wasn't working so., I have to leave well enough alone. :-( Still practicing on my furry friends to make them look more realistic.... practice practice practice....!!!!!!

Singing song birds

When I woke up this morning there was the beautiful sound of many many song birds singing. I wasn't able to see them due to the thick fog surrounding the property but hearing them was just what I needed.

Here I drew a few birds that I know are in the area and singing...

Phoebe

This is Phoebe, she is a hummingbird I was watching on line for a few days. She is located in California somewhere. She was nesting on two eggs neither of which were fertile. It was a sad thing to see her leave her nest but I have her tucked in my memory and in my journal.

I am still not good at birds but like my hand study., I will keep practicing until I get these fury lil friends looking real.
