Sunday Sketch

sketch, hand
my husband's hand
I am continuing with my theme of hands.  I spent the week drawing hands and have a sore wrist and hand to take care of at the moment.  Yesterday I stayed away from my laptop and didn't do any drawing or painting.

I foiled my own plan of giving my hands a rest by juicing about 15 oranges and 5 grapefruits.  The trees are giving us so much fruit, I couldn't resist.   Oh well, the fresh squeezed juice was amazingly delicious!

The above quick sketch is for my 365 painting a day project.   My sweet husband modeled his hand for me.

Wishing everyone a good weekend, and for more Sunday sketch links, visit Sophia's blog.

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her.

It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport! I didn't give her any tranquilizer to sedate her. Yet, she was quiet the entire flight and went unnoticed by other passengers. I h
