Friday Face Off

Hi everyone.  Happy Friday to you.

My art time has been limited this month as I've been busy.  Between working in the gardens and getting my new art space put together, I occasionally squeeze in a little play time.  I just have a bit of work left to do on the bee garden I am assembling. Then, other than weeding as needed or when I feel like it, the gardens are complete for the season. Hurrah!

And my art space is coming along nicely. I am ready to put down the rug I picked up and assemble a new table that my husband got me for my birthday back in March. More about that in a later post.

Once the table goes in I will have a better idea of my final space. I still have a couple of small storage units and a couple of wheeled carts I hope I can put in the room. And I am still rearranging supplies to get better use out of the space. I imagine the rearranging will go on for awhile, especially once I start working and using things again.

If time allows, the rug and table assembly will happen this weekend, so keep your fingers crossed. I've set a goal for myself of having everything complete by the July 4th holiday weekend, especially since my daughter and her beau will be here for part of it. That means her old bedroom needs to be back together so the 2 of them can get into and out of the room, as well as have a bed to sleep on. Smile.

In my supply cleaning, I came across an old drawing pad from 2008. In April of that year I took a 5 week drawing class at our local high school one night a week through community education.  The teacher was great, and some of us had so much fun that we continued to meet one night a week to have a drawing lesson at people's homes throughout the summer and early fall.

Since I don't have a whole lot of new things to share, let me show you a drawing from that time. I've never posted these before, so all of my drawings from this pad are new to my blog.

I'm not sure the woman came out like I would have hoped; in fact I never even added the hand. It was a drawing from a photo of a young Jane Goodall, and I think I just barely captured her essence.  I am really pleased with the way the chimp came out though. I must say I actually like drawing animals' faces more than I do people's faces.

This is my entry this week to Nicole's Friday Face Off.

I am also linking to GIllena's Friday Lunch Break. (Art for Fun Friday!)

That's all for me today. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend ahead.
