This week was particularly special as I really needed the excuse to pause my worries and sit down with my pad and watercolors and create for the theme over at Mr. Toast's Creative Tuesday's assignment!
Here is a quick peak at my desk as I started. Messy, yet inspiring. And it's a little strange because there were no less than three times that the power went off and came back on while I worked (at times by candlelight).
This week's theme is Ideal Coffee Break! Why so challenging?? Yes, I drink coffee. In fact, I have a mug of it every morning. But coffee for me right now is associated with driving to work in my car and I don't think I will be drawing that. So, I let my mind wander back to college days when I would shuffle off to the book store, buy a cup of coffee and daydream in a big comfy chair.
My ideal break has an orange mug filled with coffee that has a little sugar and milk. A pink frosted cupcake and my favorite idea pad accompanied by a nice sharp pencil. Here is a look at the whole design!
Finished piece on my desk.
And here is a scanned version. Although I realize now that the watercolor pad that I got is bigger than the scanner, so that colors got a little weird in this one.
I hope you consider joining in this or the next assignment (really hope you do) and please take a look other artists in the community here.
