Like your pencil drawings, like the digital art transports,
like your haiku/senryu. I woke up yesterday, my hand palms
were wrinkled and red-calluses were gone, two fingers had
fairly deep cuts. Dunno, do I sleep walk? They seemed to
be burned, could be I was allergic to some prescription
shampoo, but I've used it now for three weeks and nothing
like this.
Until.

Gillena, it's difficult to find a way to comment. Sorry.

But now, I'm here. And I admire your drawings.

Have a good week 😘

I really like "a nose to a rose" It has a truth in it.

Helen said...

Those thorns, toxic pricks indeed! I simply LOVE your pencil sketch self drawings.

Gillena Cox said...

fun play with your face today :)

Good to see. :)

Su-sieee! Mac said...

Wow, I like the depth of color you got with the colored pencils and the shading of her face. She’s a cutie. She’s perfect gracing the photo of flowers.

i can relate to the nose to rose a lot. ❤️

No pruning, fewer blossoms! (But you know that, and that's why you have those shears.)

i really like the haiku about the yellow ixoras. they must be so pretty that you stopped work to admire them. most of the ixoras over here are red, and in clusters they are truly pretty.
Colour pencils are fun to work with. :)

I enjoyed your drawings and that haiku at the end. The consequences of putting a nose to a rose!

Andrea @ From The Sol said...

I start with your music then go through your post ... it always puts me is an up mood. Your drawing and your several digital versions are sweet and of course your haiku's are always right on ...
