Thankful Thursday - Guilt-free doodling

A friend of mine gave me several magazines to browse through. Family Circle had a little article that has made me quite happy.  You see it states that if you  doodle while listening to a lecture or in a meeting you will actually remember 29% more of what is said.  At least that is how I read it. It is actually about a study regarding children doodling during class.  After all we are all just older children. If you click on this photo you can read the small print.

Animal Wednesday - Spotted Owl

The wintering owls are beginning to migrate.  I tried a pencil drawing of one.   Lots of detail to try to capture.  HAW everyone.

Blooming Tuesday - Rose

This is a rose that I painted on a card to send to a blogger friend that is very ill.  It is a rose from her garden that she pictured on her blog. She said that it was her favorite.  While my colors are true to her photo it is close. I think she will enjoy it. I want her to have roses all winter. Happy Blooming Tuesday.

Sunday Scribbles

It seems that on Sunday while watching football games or just relaxing I get a page of scribbles.  These scribbles usually bring to mind something I want to improve in my drawing.  Like faces.  Some people can make such interesting faces when just seeming to doodle.  Mine always seem the same.  Same eyes, Same mouth. Faces are so intersting to me.  Especially the eyes.  I hope you are having a restful Sunday and you can sit and scribble or do just what ever your heart desires today.  Cheers.
