Last June Guy!

We went to the coast for the weekend, and drove by Paso Robles, where James Dean fatal crash happened. They have a shop and 2 huge billboards and we always drive to late for pictures, but this time I made a point of go there with still daylight and take some photos.
They have the best chocolate and all kinds of nuts there, and water for the road -or coffee, tea and sodas, whatever one might want for the next stop while traveling.

Anyway.... this is my last June Guy of the year!

And here are the photos of the memorial boards:

Old posts

After so many years of blogging I have to say, there are plenty of silly posts, but there are some that are worth reposting or updating. 
This is one of them. Updated from HERE

The feeling is still the same.

Everybody hurts, sometimes

Everybody hurts, sometimes....
Remember that song? Or..... have you ever heard it? I will post a video at the end just in case, and because I love it.
So my June guy today is the singer of REM, from that video.

Here is the final product: (4x6 index card)

Super moon

Did you see the moon last night? So beautiful and big! I could see details and the shadows in there, I wish I could capture it with my camera! But anyway, DH and I went out chasing the moon and took some photos:

 Another photo:

Oh! I have to scan or take a photo of my "Face in the world" painting! It's back and so adorable!

Walk around my block

This time I remembered to take my camera...

The magnolias smell wonderful!

Some chatty crows. I couldn't catch them closer:

Two guys

These are my guys for the day. I lost count how how many I've made, will have to check on that.
The one in the left was supposed to be David, as in the statue of David. Unfortunately he looks more like a Southamerican teenager. And I won't even bother mentioning who I based my sketch on the right, since he doesn't even resemble one bit to the original... lol

But I had fun sketching them both.They are in a 4x6 card. I have been thinking of working on a large size but with the kids out of school, I have been doing bunch of other things that don't leave much time for sitting on a larger piece for now.
Thanks for visiting!

Sherlok for June Guys

It is hard to work on a small size and make it look like what I want.... did I say that already? Well, ok. My next one has to be a large format. Anyway, I had fun making this one guy, which it's supposed to be Sherlock my way ;o)

In other news, the flopsy dove's nest fell on the ground, we were so sad.... but the good thing is that the baby birds were gone already. I have not been able to catch them in their first flight! I would love to. But anyway, the dove was all lonely for a couple of days, like a stone by the fence, then she started to build a new nest, right in the next eave in the patio, here is a picture of her bringing more sticks, so cute!

The past few days...

My son brought a kitty he found, so needles to say... we have one more pet. She is the sweetest thing! I thought she was still a baby because she is tiny, but turned out she is about 11 months old, the vet said after checking her teeth. I won't even go into the HUGE vet's bill we got... OMG! Was it because it was a weekend? Or because there were so many things to be done to her to be healthy and safe? Good grief.

Well, expect cute kitty pictures in the future lol  For now here is a funny one:

She is all clean now, didn't even get all upset in the water! She is getting ear drops and some other meds, and in a few weeks she will be fixed, so no more stray kitties, at least from this quarters!

As for art, well, nothing much! We went out of town (my son staid behind baby sitting the kitty) and we had fun, took more pics, had lunch there and the weather was perfect down there, just 2 hrs south from here.

I hope everyone had a nice father's day, not sure if it is celebrated the same weekend in other countries but congrats anyway! :o) my DH got a new comfy  office chair.

Tomorrow I will resume the June Guys and scan more mono prints ♥

Three guys

Here are three sketches I made in a 4x6 card. I made them as different of each other as I could think of. Age, expression, features etc

Are you practicing your guy sketches?

And yes, more prints!

I had to adjust this one a bit, because the colors were kind of faint:

4x6 index cards for icad

Tomorrow I will hopefully scan some June Guys. Some summer days, things get hectic around here :oD
