AEDM-Day 3

at 11/03/2009 07:14:00 AM Blog Owner Vicki Holdwick
I was so taken by the full moon yesterday morning that I decided to draw it. I began on dark blue card stock and drew in the moon and the clouds across it. But when it was time to add the bare trees, I decided to try digital instead (Silly me, I still think I have to draw exactly what I saw instead of my rendition of it.). I will post my "by hand" painting when it is finished. For now, here is my digital version:




I received several comments yesterday asking to see patterns made with my drawings. I was happy to comply. But you see, once I begin making patterns, I cannot stop. I hope you won't be disappointed in these as I had great fun making them and am quite pleased with how they turned out.


This is made with a bluebird I drew.



This is the cocky rooster from yesterday.








I am expecting a pretty day today, at least according to the weather widget I have on my computer it is going to be sunny and chilly. The baby will be here around 10:30 this morning and then the bus will have to be met to pick up the first grader. I am meeting my Statistics tutee in Jackson around 4 and am hoping to pop into Michaels with a coupon I have, which I'd like to share with you.




I'm off to make art so that I can accomplish my self-imposed challenge of making art every day in November.

See ya!

    Love your rendition of the full-moon! I also like seeing your digital patterned papers, especially the ones that you use your own drawings for. How about a kalidoscope occasionally as well?

    Vicki, your moon and trees print is lovely! It reminds me of woodblock. I, too, was mesmerized by the moon last night. On my way to see friends, I saw the same ribbons of clouds you've captured. The moon and cloud variations were the most beautiful views of the moon I've ever seen. Thank you for reminding me.

    Love your moon! This morning the clouds in the sky looked like the surf at the beach and the full moon was shining on them.

    Love your patterns too!

    The moon art is so lovely--really like how you combined a photo and your own art. Can't wait to see what's next.

    I'm so curious what your medium was -- charcoal for the trees? Is it paint on the rest? It's lovely!

    Your patterns are always lovely and I am wondering if they'd look really good as wallpapers or gift wrappers, or simply on ceramic tiles ^^ I don't know... I keep thinking business for some reason. Love the hand painting too

    Those bold trees look great, no matter how you got them there. Moon is pretty too! Good job!
