Fountain pen, then scanned and colored in Photoshop.
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.

Sketching my coffee table while watching Jeopardy Champions.

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.
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.
Can you see the little lacewing on the branch? It's on a native Hawaiian ohia tree. Blogged at drawingonnature.blogspot.com/
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.
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)
Well, this was wet-in-wet fun from an article in the March 2008 Leisure Painter magazine by Alan Oliver titled "Wet in Wet." Could have a bit more value in this, but decided to sleep on it.
Day 29 - a faucet
As we are in a period of water saving because of low reservoir levels that supply my city and neighborhoods, the theme faucet led me to think about water and its vital importance to our planet.
Recently . . . a trek across campus in the rain (sans journal, unfortunately), for a workshop, created the opportunity for me to draw my umbrella. In my spiral notebook, with watercolor pencil added later, and collaged into my journal. Serendipitously, I discovered that it fit the specifications for Everyday Matters #217. Cool.
