Andrea,
This EDM challenge was well worth waiting for. Your ability to construct depth and layers - as well as the muted colors always "blows me away."

Beautiful! Such an wonderful way to express the EDM challenge of drawing something green. I would probably do lettuce or broccoli, or I am sure I have some green shoes somewhere in that closet.

Since this was "my" EDM challenge, I went back and looked at my entry for it, and remembered that I had dedicated it to you. The interesting thing was that in your comment, you mentioned that green was your favourite colour ... so I'm sort of hoping that there will be more drawings like this one, where green plays a major role ... It's lovely.

Please can I send you a couple of Moos?

This is like looking at clouds. I'm sure I see that little button smiling. How adorable.

Thanks everyone.

Glad you like this one, I like it too.

EJ, I remember your post, and it had the same title I believe? I'd love you to send me some Moos - we can do a swap.

Cheers folks.

I have given you an award on my blog for your inspirational blog and artwork. I just love stopping by and exploring your work!

Trying to work back as to how I found you. Started with Anita giving me an award and reading blogs of the others she chose. Then reading their choices and THEN WHAM there I was looking at your beautiful creative pieces. Where do you get such lovely ideas? Your profile says you live in the UK but where????You seem to know EJ from the Fens and I'm in Norfolk. You've been quickly added to my favourites.

Andrea,

OOOH..Sorry about the deletion above...I tried to correct a typo...and "poof" it was gone!

You INSPIRE ME! The tender, delicate interpretation of daily life in your drawings makes my heart smile.

Unknown said...

Beautiful! Your drawings always have such a beautiful 3d feel to them, like you can pick them right up

Thanks, everyone.

And, welcome to all the new visitors. I'm not sure how you found me but it's nice to 'see' you. Thanks for all the awards too.(Actually, come to think of it, that's probabaly where all the new visitors have come from).

Joan, I'm from Wales but I live in the Peak district. The other side of the country from you, EJ, Anita etc.

Cheers folks, I'm touched.

I do not think I could find words to tell you how much I really do love your style and my visits to your blog. Your work is so soothing and yet so detailed. Very beautiful, and I love the use of your colored pencil here.
