Four Eyes Nerds are In



Day 14 of doodled painted cups, bottles and glasses for the 30 paintings and 366 drawings in as many days challenge . 
SoIve been wearing glasses since I was 5 ½ years old which was far less fun and ‘in’ than it is now. 

Over the summer I  while waiting in line at Coney Islands naathans I complimented someone on their cool specs, turns out the were not prescription, she bought them for style    ?!HUH!?   Yes I am having fun with all the numerous varieties afforded now, especially when using lower prices online…. Still, if I didn’t have to wear specs I could find many other ways that are smudge free to shift my look.  Would you wear non-perscription glasses for style?

A Flask of Water

Day 13 of doodled painted cups, bottles and glasses for the 30 paintings  and 366 drawings in as many days challenge . 
This one features my most used bottle at present, the knobby plastic, flask-like water container that nestles into my portable Holbein watercolor set.  The highlights magazine like style is still emerging through my pen bringing out new color combinations and characters that make me smile.  What’s funny is I keep waiting to get back to the studio to paint and forgetting the contained and portable part like when on a cell phone and pacing in a contained area as though there is an actual coiled cord still attached.
 Today is day 15 and I think I will schlep myself and the girls to find the subject of the 15th painting in this series; yesterday I painted three of my favorite glasses, stayed tuned J

Where and what do you like to paint?

Day 12's Doodle of 30 Went to the Dawgs

Day 12 of 30 paintings in 30 days with the theme of cups and glasses that chose me when I decided on the 2nd to join the 30/30 painting challenge that I had just found on facebook…. I am caught up with the paintings, I am a day or two behind with the posting, sometimes it takes me that long to decide it doesn’t completely suck and settle into the next piece.
This one from the 12th of January, ‘the girls’ water bowl.  For those of you humans with dogs to hold your leash, you know this is a symbol of not yet had coffee droopy eyed morning scuffling around the block, a warm lap mate for that must read and eyes rolling from dogless friends when you skip out to go walk the pup.  There are definitely times I wish they were toilet trained when I have to put all my favorite clothes on at once to walk through the snow leaving yellow spots at 2 am and when I scoot past my landlord during 20 below winds biting down an answer reminicent of Al Jaffee’s Snappy Answers to stupid questions when he asks “isn’t it aweful cold to go walking. 
Theyre expensive little pee factories that are my best friends and favorite way keep warm while I sleep compansions.  Cheers to Sadie and Bessie!
