Day 15 - Green Metallic Bee

Agapostemon spp.

A native bee on an exotic plant (a coleus flower)

One of the reasons I wanted to take on a 365-day challenge was that it would force me to experiment (and if something came out bad, well then, there is always tomorrow).

This was done in a loose sketchy style with micron pens. Painted with colored drawing inks and highlighted with gold metallic ink and green metallic gelly roll ink.

Day 6 - Lizard

The drawing of this lizard was interrupted by errands today but luckily I remembered to come back to it. The hubs walked in while I was working on it and said " ugh " (and actually flicked out his tongue much like a lizard)...which I suppose means that it looks real enough ;) ~January 6, 2022~ The Gallery for this Draw Something ( anything! ) Daily Challenge can be seen HERE

The Heian Book Report

I've started re-reading my Heian-era Japanese Literature books (all English translations) and thought I'd write a few thoughts about each while it's fresh in my mind. I started with Hojoki and Tsurezuregusa . So, this is just my announcement, you can read a bit more about my Heian Obsession here and I will post all of the book reports to this page .

Maceo

Last night I lost my beloved Maceo. I've had him since he was six weeks old and he just turned 17 on April 1st. I miss him dearly already. Rest well sweet boy.
