Did you know that Violet is the state flower of Rhode Island?

Here is my bowl. (This is my very favorite Flo Greig pottery. I have a zillion pieces .. and I'm not done yet.)
My new pink leather wallet . . . I just couldn't resist sketching something PINK!!
It's pen and wash in my "every day" Hand*Book journal!
That was the caption beneath this reference photo. He is my "solution" to the Everyday Matters "problem," #207, Draw Something with a Shell. The colors in the actual sketch are not this "sweet," but this is the best that iPhoto and I were able to achieve :-)
Watercolor in my handmade journal.

A special journal page. 😃 A self-portrait after a long time... then I collaged the background with an image of me as a baby; and stuff on my table.
EVERY DAY in MAY
Day 21- The spot you regularly sit to read.
This certainly is a reading spot I have for decades.
W&N watercolor, Uniball Vision pen, Dr. Martin's Radiant Concentrated Watercolor, Strathmore watercolor art journal.
Can you see the little lacewing on the branch? It's on a native Hawaiian ohia tree. Blogged at drawingonnature.blogspot.com/
Here's this week's challenge to draw a basket. This looked better a few dabs before the end .. but no matter, red geraniums are always cheery! A bit too much watercolor with Sepia Pigma Micron in the wc Moleskine. Oddly enough I was inspired to do the same thing a year ago with this one:

This is the closest thing I have to a houseplant right now (my poinsettia bit the dust :-) . . . these little test tube vases look pretty cheery on the window ledge of my bathroom, filled with English ivy.
Watercolor, sketched in my HandBook journal. Drawn from life.
As I only have Maldon sea salt and pepper corns in the herb cupboard, I picked some fresh rosemary for today's challenge.
Everyday Matters 165 is to draw the front of your house. Ours sits happily, on a hill, surrounded by a couple dozen native oak trees :-)
Watercolor, in my fabulous journal from Carol.

Ran out of room on the paper again... Drat! My first attempt at a bird.
I drew this from Dr. Pat's cool photo. Check it out!
. . . that's Everyday Matters Challenge #280, and here's my something (someone), my daughter . . . 1,296 miles away (I just googled it :-). She "comes home" as often as possible, though!!!
Painted with watercolors, small moleskine.
Our last few days on the coast were at Palagama Beach Hotel, Kalpitiya. We had a trail of ants walking across a path outside our cottage. Parts of the day when the sun was at the right angle the ants cast huge shadows. It was damn difficult to get a close up shot without a macro lens and it was uncomfortably hot.
I think my little bunny Layla is the definition of cute, but then, I'm pretty biased. :) Blogged at drawingonnature.blogspot.com/
Day - 7 - An envelope
When much younger, I, to improve my English, used corresponding with people from many countries. The postman had to come to my door every day and I loved receiving letters from distant friends since the icy Finland to the far Nigeria. I also had pen pals in every Brazilian state from North to South.
Today, in the virtual era, the letters have given way to e-mails and other messages via internet. A pity, I guess, because we lost the exciting and pleasure to welcome a beautiful envelope with artistic stamps that tell a little history of the places they come from.
( real stamps were glued on the drawing)
