EDM Challenge #80: What makes me happy-part 1
This week I've been trying to think about EDM challenge #80 - what makes me happy? I'm thrilled when I am with all of our adult children, their spouses, and our growing group of grandchildren. We take care of our youngest grandchild Robbie on Friday and last Friday I posted a sketch from the Central Park Boat Pond Cafe - done while he sat with us for an hour. Our London-based grandchildren then spent the weekend with us (an absolute joy for my husband and I) and Saturday morning we watched the penguins and seals being fed and the Widelife theater play at the Central Park Zoo. I did these sketches very quickly in the Petting Zoo area - the first two are the large sculptures along the pathway and the 3rd sketch was the perky little LIVE llama that seemed to be saying "I'm the cutest - sketch me!" And then stayed still for 2 minutes for me!
There was lots of discussion about Moleskines this week among the EDM messages. I HATE the format for the watercolor journal, but I do like the paper and I love how it scans. I finally became comfortable with using more than one journal at a time and next will try an RKB Fat Pad with Fabriano 5 watercolor paper that I bought in London. However, this is risky because they don't appear to have a US distributor.
