I love the beautiful, hard working lobster boats in the Maine harbors. Their shapes are abstract, and interesting, especially when cropped. These boats are layered one in front of the other and make a fascinating pattern. I may explore this as a painting.
This is my hundred ninety-second daily drawing. Thank you for following along on my journey.
Last summer I painted at a friend's house for a local garden tour fundraiser. Her studio door was open and surrounded by flowers. It was very inviting and a fun day talking to all the visitors. Here is the painting from the day, and above is a pen and ink sketch with gray marker, of the scene as well.
This is my hundred ninety-first daily drawing. Thank you so much for looking.
Spent part of my day at a friend's baby shower today, sitting with some of my teaching colleagues. We were reminiscing about some of the trips to Europe that the school has hosted over the years. When our daughter was younger, we took her. I have been reviewing my photos. Here is a photo of some children with nanny or granny in the Jardin de Tuileries. I loved this image; looks like days gone by. These children are frozen in time for me, but are in their teens now. I looked up the word for "siblings" in french. It showed freres et soeurs "brothers and sisters".
This is my hundred ninetieth daily drawing. Thank you for your continued interest.
This afternoon I was heading out of Boston and caught this image of a student hanging out, solo, in the window of this Northeastern University building. I loved the sun hitting him and bouncing around inside the modern building while reflections crisscrossed the large glass panes.
This is my hundred eighty-ninth daily drawing. Thank you for your continued interest.
Tonight, I waited for my husband as he finished a meeting. Just at dark, the street around me began to fill with construction equipment, men in hardhats, and police in yellow raincoats. They closed the street and began an evening construction job. The police were very efficient, all business. Reaching into the car for their down mittens and lit batons, they got right to work, dividing the road into half and redirecting traffic with authoritative gestures.
This is my hundred eighty-eighth daily drawing. As always, thank you for looking.
Another image from the North End of Boston, caught one evening. I love the warm glow inside the storefronts as people pass by on the streets in the evening. There are 24 hour cannoli shops, and people on the streets at all hours. It's lovely. This "mercato" or "market" has wine, cheese, olive oil... enough said. Wonderful shop. This is my hundred eighty-seventh daily drawing. Thank you for your continued interest.
Don't you just love the narrow streets of Boston? The North End is a beautiful rabbit warren of activity, great food, and sumptuous views. It is vibrant, with surprises around each corner. I love it all.
This is my hundred eighty-sixth daily drawing. Thank you for your continued interest.
