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.

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 .
