Day 21 of 365 Day Creative Exercise...yeah that's right...

Hi Everyone...

wow...day 21 has come and gone and I am thinking to just keep going and see if I can do a 365 day creative exercise...I figure I do something creative each and everyday and now I just can't stop...

today's post is a tribute to our weekly bon fires....we have our friends over and we enjoy a nice dinner and then a nice evening by the fire...

and you know what comes hand in hand with a bon fire...S'MORES! we ate a bunch last night and they were delish....thanks for bringing over enough marshmallows for the whole summer Carmen! I did this s'more in pen and ink and then added some digital colouring....I am posting this for the theme pens/pencils on Mixed Media Monday...since that is how this illustration started.....

I took some really cool shots of the fire too...I not only love to draw each and every day...but I am known for being attached to my camera....











Hope you all had a wonderful weekend....

Cheers,
Diana

I also added a few photos of some of my favorite finds that are so "Love" oriented....I always make special vignettes on my table for Valentine's Day....my special blown glass lady from Paris, with her bag of croissants...the eiffel tower and some hearts and candles...love it....

Have a wonderful night/day and pop by often....

3 "Yummy Sketch of the Day" Requests and some updates....

Hi Everyone...

I was so happy that I received 3 special requests for my "Yummy Sketch of the Day" The First request is from CES, she was craving some chocolate ice cream with chocolate sauce and chocolate cake on the side...my kind of chocolate feast..lol

My second request is from Kathleen. She was in the mood for a nice plate of Sushi with a side of miso...and some chopsticks....( I had to make them pink)

My third request is from Candace. She was craving a memory from summer time...a nice mint chocolate ice cream cone....my favorite too! Make sure you link over to all their sites....they have wonderful blogs...

I spent another wonderful day in the studio painting and dreaming and spending some time on my business plan for 2008. On top of that debating on what my next wood burning project will be....and just finished watching "Celebrity Apprentice" ....I am addicted to the show and it's only in it's second week...the guys are the best and I laughed at Gene Simmons...what a wonderful character....so positive and so sure ....the best was when he said that they have no time for the client...too funny.....but I have to say the guys commercial won me over 10x more versus the women's one....the voice and the use of celebrity made more business sense to me and I can see Pedigree using it....who wouldn't....

Well have a wonderful night and wonderful day....and I look forward to more requests....

Cheers,
Diana
