Zentangle #40

I hope everyone had a great holiday... I started working on another zentangle when my daughter had her surgery last week. She had the surgery last Thursday and well. The doctor said it was the worst gallbladder he has seen in someone her age and it quit working a long time ago. She is felling much better now.

Can't believe the end of the year is upon us. I am trying to get my room ready to do more "art" I got some new art supplies for Christmas so I am excited to try them. Once I get my house back in order I should be to go. Well thanks for looking time for bed...

zentangle #39 - not so good...

I do believe this is my ugliest one I have created and the funny thing is I never liked this from the beginning...

 It is nice that you can change the look digitally like this one....

 or like this one....

It is funny how you have a feeling about something but, I thought I should stick it out and I did.  Maybe it was a reflection of how much my arm was hurting not sure but it's done and it is ugly.  Now I can start a new! I wonder if I can make a couple of more before the end of the year.  I think I am going to call them something different because I don't know that they are truly a zentangle....

Trece asked me if I do my drawings freehand and the answer is yes.  I draw in pencil first and then go over my lines with a pen.  I use Pigma, Prismacolor, Bic, Sharpie's, Staedtler and Pitt pens and various sizes. I also have a collection of colored pencils, crayons and watercolor paints I have been using.  I just play around.

I am sure most are busy getting ready for Christmas this week me included. I am going to be happy to report to my P.T. tomorrow that my "tennis elbow" actually feels pretty good! Our big adventure this week will be finding out if my oldest daughter has gallbladder surgery this week... she had an attack on 12/16 and we spent the day in the E.R. They wouldn't do surgery that day so she goes tomorrow to find out when ummm a fun week ahead!  Happy Holidays! Thanks for looking!

zentangle #39 progress

Yesterday I went to physical therapy for my "tennis elbow" and he said I could draw for 20 minutes and take a break.... so this morning before I am off to work I did a little on my zentangle...

I am not sure if I will keep the penciled in part or not? I am very excited though that I can do a little bit more and not just sit and watch TV (that sucks) I would rather do something while I am watching TV.   Well I better get ready to leave for work.  Have a great day and thanks for looking!

zentangle #39 in progress....

Having been under doctors orders not to write for more than 10 minutes at a time for two weeks has put a damper on drawing... well yesterday was two weeks and I couldn't take just sitting there and watching T.V. any more and falling asleep in my chair so... I picked up my zentangle journal and went back to working on this one I started on 11/23:

 Last night I did this...

I have a bit of drawing to do and then add color.  It is hard not being able to draw or work on projects. I think I have caught up on a lot of sleep.... Now need to get ready to go to the Saturday market and do a little Xmas shopping.  Thanks for looking!
