My Resolutions -- #3: Read More Books!

The Dream . . . .

The Reality . . . .

And now, it's shameful true confessions time --

despite my vow last year to read more books in 2019,

I only completed (*sob*) one book all year!

Yes -- only one -- Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett,

which I read after watching the fabulous mini-series made from it.

And while I enjoyed the book very much,

I did (quite frankly) enjoy the mini-series more.

There are just so many, many reasons

why my reading has dropped off the scale . . . .

A CAT? Wait one DAMN minute!

Time for an INTERVENTION by MOI,

Her Royal Highness the Cat!

I know the REAL REASONS that

Debra She Who Seeks hardly reads

any books anymore!

And I shall expose the whole ugly truth

in the NEXT POST, which shall be . . . 

THE TRIAL OF THE CENTURY!

And you, her readers, will be THE JURY!

DON'T MISS IT!!!!!

My Resolutions -- #2: Exercise More!

Welcome to 2020

My Resolutions -- #1: Eat Healthy!

New Years Eve with Auntie Deb

And I'm just the person who can provide you with it!

Read and learn! It could change your life!

And I saved the best bit of advice 'til the end.

Happy New Year's Eve, everyone!

Red Onions

Following the introductory course I took this fall in the art of coloured pencils, I did the next level and learned how to work with multiple coloured pencils. It is a very slow process to complete each assignment and I am still working on most of them, quite frankly, even though the course itself is now done.

However, this piece featuring red onions is finished so I am posting it today. It required the use of 17 coloured pencils in various combinations and layers on black paper.

The beginning stage --

The middle stage --

I am very proud of those onion tops. They almost have a photo-realistic quality, plus I managed to get a really good picture of them!

The final version --

The onion bulbs are okay but I want to burn that twine, LOL! My pencils were too dull and should have been sharpened so the twine would not be so thick.

Anyway, I will post the other course work individually as I slowly complete each piece.
