Under my palm !

                                                         8  x  11 pen & Ink & Tombow

  Let's dream of white sand and a nap under this palm with the ocean waves soothing our soul.

  I have to give credit to Nancy of Every photo tells a story for her comments on my previous post for this sketch.

  This beauty is across the driveway at my girlfriend's house in Vista, CA.  I had to stop and draw

" Mon Palmier Rouge"

                                    8  x  11     Pen & Ink Watercolor & Tombow pen

This is a sketch done with the local San Diego sketchcrawlers. Of course since I live in California sometimes the subjects will be a bit more tropical.

                                              8  x  10  Pen, Ink & Tombow pens

Oh , yes to draw what fun  ! 

I ask that all that have an ability to do something that they would do it and have joy in doing it.

What ever that may be !

The Lemonade Award

I received  " The Lemonade Award " for a positive attitude and gratitude ,

from Joan Sicignano who is a fabulous watercolorist.

This award today is not what I deserve because my attitude today  stink's. I am definitively not in a positive attitude and isn't it strange this is the day you get something like this.

It's telling me stop whining ! and be happy, isn't there a movie or something with this phrase, anyway.

So with this in mind I am doing it....OMG somebody kick me please !

Gosh sometimes it's so hard to pull yourself out of these yuk moments !

I'm going to stop focusing on me and look at a few people much more deserving.

So I am passing this award to :

Katherine Tyrrell of Making a Mark

Gabi Campanario of Urban Sketchers

Tommy Kane USk correspondent

Dolly Pitcher of Takes-n-Tudes

Dean H. of Deanos-den

Nancy of Every Photo Tells a Story

Michelle Burnett of Following the Masters

These individuals are much more deserving. They add so much to our world with their efforts, talents and great attitudes.

Please check each and everyone.

The rules for this if you choose is :

-Post the logo

-Nominate 7 others blogs that show gratitude and attitude

-List and link your nominator in your post and blog

-Let them know there recipients

But you can do whatever you want. After seeing each of these recipients again my attitudes is getting better, thank you all.
