I've been here a week already. 5 to go.Well, as you can see I have been doing my homework this weekend. A self-portrait is always a tough assignment, but in the end I had to admit that it is pretty close to what I look like.
Today I went to a cute little historic town called Cedarburg. I had lunch and roamed around for a bit.
Then it was back to work on more drawings so I drew my mother from a photo I had taken on her 90th birthday. I gave her all the wrinkles I could and she still looks younger than the photo. That is probably a good thing. It is really hard to draw pure white hair without making the background dark, so I let it fade into the background.
I tried to call Katie this morning. She is now in the Aran Islands. The call kept getting cut off, so after three tries I gave up. All I got from the brief conversations was that the electricity on the island was out today due to a bad storm yesterday...I'm sure she'll be ready to leave in a day or so if she isn't already.

Those drawings look pretty good...I think your face is a tiny bit too round and your eyes perhaps tilted a little too much? The one of grandma is really good. She looks old enough. :)
If there's stormy weather at the Aran islands Katie might get stuck there longer than she wants...the ferries don't always run if the weather is bad.
i sent a text message to katie today ...she is indeed stuck on the island.
you didn't post a monday blog!
Nice pictures mom!
good drawings!
