This is another 40 year old drawing which has skulked in my folder getting tattier and tattier.I still think I would like to do a painting of it so it has not been binned.Looking at it again I feel it was worth saving so for my drawing today I has taken it to photoshop, used the poster edges artistc filter to sharpen it and added some colour.

As the note says, I COVET this little retro owl bank. No matter its coffee-stained little face... I spirited him away from the ice/coffee room on the 8th floor (at school) to do this drawing. I must find one of my own! Le sigh.
By the way - brushed metal is FUN to paint.
I'm not a jelly donut-eater myself... this came courtesy of Eric & his co-worker/friend David.
Illustration Friday theme: "flawed".
The dramatic rescue of a turtle in the road.
I was on my way home from work on Saturday when I narrowly missed a turtle attempting to cross the road. Convincing myself he would undoubtedly parish if left to fend for himself I parked on the side of the road and went back to pick him up. He showed his love and thanks by spazzing out and hissing wildly at me as I left him safely on the other side of the road.
And kudos to the girls who drove by giving me the thumbs up!
.This is part of an ongoing series inspired by volcanic and geothermal landscapes.

When used one page at a time... I like the watercolor journal, it's starting to grow on me.
As I worked four hours on this today I decided to post it in my drawing a day set although I have had three sessions on it. There will probably be some refinement, I can already see a detail I need to change but it is largely done.I did a smaller pastel sketch earlier which in turn was taken from a pencil sketch of the trees done of the carob trees in Cyprus.I often use pastels to plan a painting.As usual the scanner does not get the colours quite right.I will try to get a photo in sunlight when we get some!
