Dog # 70 to 75 and Every Day in May #131. 30. 29, 26 and #3e

I checked the whole month and I'm 5 dogs short of  a dog a day!  My challenge was really just to continue the 100 dog drawings I started last year and now have completed 69 sketches.  The last 17 I did so fast they will not apply to the count. I tried to do one a minute.  The exercise of repeditive drawing  allows you to focus on the most  simple structure of the dog. Without any reference at least 12 of them were convincing dogs, perhaps not a recognisable breed, It was good  practice 31 more dogs does not seem that distant.

How about 100 faces with just one line?

Oh yes the 5 remaining challenges.  I have wire people dancing for #129 Now that I've looked at the live sponges I'd like to do a colorful watercolor of them for #126, I have to look up #103 ( how did I miss that one so soon?)  I can do #'s 130 and 131 to night yet!

Dog # 65 and Every Day in May #124 draw something yellow

This started as a drawing on copper foil which was then cut out with an exacto knife, soldered and glass pieces shaped into a small box. I'm always looking for a perfect sky piece of glass for the background.  Tonught as the sun went down it was pure golden yellow an reminded me of this box.

Challenge # 120 draw a flashlight and # 122 Shade (or shadows) part of the subject.
Ok I was a little lazy to combine the two : )

# 121 Coins, I thought I would take a very close look at a quarter, magnified the edge of the quarter and saw was very dinged and dented and also the Copper part was uneven

Dog # 58 of 100 Dogs and Every Day in May Challenge #115 shopping cart

 Blogger is turning all of my images sidewise??  A cute pup.

Had to make up a shopping cart

Dog # 57 of 100 Dogs and Every Day in May # 114 Draw Something that is ugly that you keep for sentimental reasons

 Draw Something that is ugly that you keep for sentimental reasons, This is a drawing of an old photo of a great dog BooBoo.  I only considered it ugly because the black satin and red lace frame are very faded, a little dusty as well.  BooBoo was free from in front of a grocery store, I said no Daddy said OK and this lab- setter mix was one of the smartest dogs ever.  She learned all the tricks I could think of and was a great companion for a 9 year old.  Great joy for many years!

I don't know why I couldn't get blogger to download it straight?

Dog #43 of 100 Dogs and Every Day in May # 107 Draw how you get your news.

Had to make up the rear view of a brindle greyhound (?) I liked the shape of its ears. Would really more likely be a cats sillouete in the way. The real dog is at my feet and the cat on my lap interfering with typing!

Took some more reference pictures of dogs that visit the Art Glass Guild's Patio Sale and sold some glass!  Always nice to sell your newest work!
