Sketchbook: Daylily

Daylily (?). Ballpoint pen in Moleskine plain notebook.

We have many different flowers growing in our yard and I don't know what most of them are. From a Google search, I've concluded that this is a daylily, but I could be wrong.

We have a few of these old cameras lying about since my husband was trying to find one still in working condition so he could upload videos from his high school and college days to the web.

Blooming Outside My Window

Blooming Outside My Window.  Pigma micron pen and Prismacolor watercolor pencils.

Just a couple of weeks ago, these flowers were blooming outside my window. I think they are hibiscus, but I'm not quite sure. Now they've dried out and shriveled up. Fall is here.

While in Traverse City, we visited Moomers ice cream shop, which is located on a beautiful dairy farm. It was a tasty treat after climbing the Sleeping Bear Dunes.

Grand Traverse Bay

I recently returned from vacationing in northern Michigan. On this particular day, it was too cool and windy to take the boats out on the bay, so I drew them instead.

Eiffel Tower. Uni-ball Vision Elite pen and watercolor pencils in Moleskine watercolor sketchbook.

After walking all throughout Versailles, we returned to Paris and sat in the park in front of the Eiffel Tower for an hour or so. I ruined the drawing when I got home by applying water to the pencil work I'd done on site.

Sketchbook: Luxembourg Palace

Luxembourg Palace. Uni-ball Vision Elite pen in Moleskine watercolor sketchbook.

On my recent trip to Paris, we took some time just to sit in the Luxembourg Gardens so that I could draw. It was late in the afternoon, and I was exhausted, so this little sketch was all I managed to get done.

I drew this back in March, but didn't scan it until today. Every now and then, I go through long periods without drawing and I'm just coming out of one of those.
