Continuing 30 Day Art is Life...

Breakfast
Every morning, I get up and often have cereal.  Without eating, my stomach feels queesey and I get really snippy with my kids.  The challenge for this day was to draw out breakfast so I poured my milk  in a glass and drew what I saw quickly.  Then I dumped that milk into the bowl and chowed down like I hadn't eaten in years.

A Room
This challenge said that I had to draw a room.  I often sit in our dining room since it's where my family eats, plays board games, and socializes.  This was the most interesting areas of the room to draw.

Leaf
I was stuck on what to draw for nature.  This took a little bit of research on my part until I stumbled on a photo of a leaf showing the greatest detail of the veins.  I drew many of the largest vein and Zentangled the smaller veins.

Michael
The challenge for this day was to draw a portrait of someone and my son was perfect for this task.  Unfortunately, I didn't realize that my daughter would feel a little slighted.  More on my daughter is to come in the following posts.  I dearly love each of my children and strive for fairness even when it comes to drawing them.

Bag
This challenge simply stated, "a bag."  My first instinct was to grab a purse and draw it.  However, I saw a brown paper bag when I rummage for a purse small enough to put on my lap.  I liked the wrinkles and it brought back fond memories of drawing paper bags in college.  The paper bag won the right to sit for my drawing.
