Chalk Face

A Pastel chalk face. I did the outline of the face in a dark colour first. It is from an image I saw on Abundance, which is filled with beautiful, thought provoking pictures and quotes. Today it has music too! If you click on the picture you can see details of the source written on the other page.
Tonight I came home and drew a small cactus in the book, and then a weird looking face with big round eyes (I have just received some doll making eyes which are as big as mine and was thinking about that). I drew with no tv or radio on, just the sound of the rain. I should do that more often. I am one to have background noise, but on the few occasions I don't it is lovely! Perhaps like meditation-I don't know as I have not meditated, but I thought it might be.
An aside-'chalk face' is a term for teaching-as in working at the chalk face. Not anymore with the advent of smartboards. In my classroom I have a non-working smartboard and no blackboard but hey-ho!
I have now reached the end of my photos of the book, though the book itself is nearly finished. I will take some more soon to show you.

Wow that is wonderful, certainly a lot better than what I did today! LOL Think I have rather a long way to go yet. But still I am enjoying it.

This is lovely. By the way we make our dog hike the first part of the trail and then carry her the rest of the way 1-2 miles (she is 15 years old). Thanks for asking. Lorrie

Thanks Lynne, Serenata and Lorrie-and thanks for answering the dog mystery! That is lovely that she gets to go on your hikes even though it is too far for her to walk. I bet she loves it!
