Pretend - Illustration Friday

When I wasn't climbing my favorite tree (pretending I was a famous explorer) or swinging on the swing, I would sit in my room painting or dancing to music on my record player. I also loved reading. Books took me into another world. They fueled my imagination. Books made me pensive.

This is Pensive Tomoko. This original illustration was done with acrylics and pencil on acid-free drawing paper.

Nice!

Tell me about the posture and the concept behind her embrace?

or is it purely obvious?

Hi Jesse, I didn't really have a reason for drawing her in this posture. However, now that I think about it, whatever is going on in my life usually comes through in my art.

bird watching and staying home for the summer

Married Shadows

My husband and I haven't had a T.V. for the last 15 years, maybe more, so we often go to see movies at the Cinema. The last couple of ones that I've enjoyed have been Transformers II and Terminator IV. Two more of my favorites are Slumdog Millionare and Milk. These latter two were well done movies from all angles (acting, script, cinematography). This is us after an afternoon at the movies and eating out. We had just come from Starbucks and were heading to the train station. For more shadow shots and to learn how to join this Meme, please visit Hey Harriet's blog .
