Personal and a monthly art challenge
You may like the nostr:npub1wdpfy4xgam85u9wxpuau24qrddpwqk53gexvnnnmguyqqtvspjeqvc0p5m art challenge for May; it’s all about flowers. I’ll be posting a prompt list, color palette and tracker on May 1st. You can use them or make up your own.
Kindle Unlimited had one of their “3 months for $0.99” deals, so I signed up. Great way to review art books to see if I want to actually buy any. 📚
I’m currently going through “How to Draw Flowers: A Step By Step Guide for Realistic Drawing Projects” by Martha Blonde. 🌸
I didn’t pay attention to what kind of pencil I put in my bag before traveling. This is an H and takes a bit of effort to erase. May try and find a softer pencil at a store next week.
The pen is a Uniball Air Micro which is my favorite right now. 🖊️

Garden duty today. Weeding and watering and admiring the new additions that have bloomed.

It really is. My mom walks it every day with her dog in the morning.
2nd try on the local mountain walk.
This time I made it to the 3rd of the 5 switchbacks that lead to my goal of a bench with a view. Used to walk to the bench no problem in past years… until the right foot issues.

Second jigsaw puzzle finished with Mom. It’s 1000 pieces and was a lot of fun. I found it in a bookstore.
What the designer did with that limited color palette is impressive: no real reds (the strawberries are almost the same orange as the wild rose background) and no purples.

Tulip Tuesday! There’s quite a few blooming in town, but this is first in my Mom’s garden to open up.

FYI: Lyrid meteor shower is tonight April 21/early April 22 in the northern hemisphere: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyrids
We’ve got a lot of clouds here (and it’s bloody cold) but maybe someone here gets to see them?

Brief hail storm, despite the fact the weather report was Sunny No Clouds.
Cute tiny styrofoam bits hail up here; nothing like the marbles-sized stuff I get at home.

Caught up through 50/100, which is halfway…. and usually when I decide whether or not to continue with the rest of the 100 Day Project.
Currently undecided.

Looks great! Those free-hand lines give the piece character. 💜
