Last Every Day in May - 23
We are in Quebec City and Montreal for vacation - see everyone in June. The first page of the recycled book that I made for this trip is a map of Quebec Province and I hope to really play and have fun on every page!

Every Day in May - 20 and 21
May 20th: Another Matisse contour drawing from my book of Suerat to Matisse French Drawings. Matisse did the contour drawing self-portrait, and I copied it line by line and then added the color.
May 21st: Long day at work and we're getting ready for vacation this evening. I removed the sharps from my carry-on bag and did my fastest sketch ever. One more day of work and then a relaxing trip to Montreal and Quebec City where I hope to fill a specially prepared recycled sketchbook.

Every Day in May - 19
A quick sketch tonight for EDM Challenge #171: Draw Ice Cream
I love ice cream and had this photograph mounted as part of a storyboard collage that I did for a project about me.

Every Day in May 18
We met our son and grandson at the Toy Boat Pond this morning in Central Park and I had time to sketch and paint this lamp post while waiting for them to arrive. I actually sketched one of the Park lamp posts once before, but didn't have a bench perfectly positioned to see a symmetrical globe and cover. There was sun when we arrived but the clouds rolled in over the next hour and it is again raining!

Every Day in May - 17
Today my husband and I went to the Peter Blum Gallery in Soho to see 80 prints by Goya from his Disasters of War collection. These are amazingly powerful and I sketched a detail from two of the prints ( "With or Without Reason" and "Dead Bodies"). Afterward we had a glass of wine in a wine bar on West Broadway in Tribeca where I filled a second journal page. The logo of the wine bar is a medieval woodcut that the owner found in an old text. I sketched only the top half and reversed the colors.
