EDM #42. Draw something you are thankful for. The sun rising. For me, from first light until the rising sun is the best part of the day, filled with promise and expectation. The deep blue of the night sky, gradually watching the stars disappear, lightening in the east and then daylight, it's amazing. I am thankful each time I watch. This topic did give me some trouble, I wanted to do life itself but didn't know how. I wanted to draw a smile but it looked so static and this was the next attempt.

Oh this is beautiful Hillary.. the colors are simply radiating...
I am thankful for the sun everyday too... I can never wait to see how it greets the day... What method did you use to do this? Is this paint?

Hi Gwen, I used inktense pencils and water and it's so unlike me. I started by shaving yellow and red into a pile in the middle and spraying with water, placing another sheet on top and rotating, finishing up just drawing the outer rings. I was stalled with the topic for so long that it was worrying. I am now back to too many ideas and not enough time! Thank you for calling back. Your site is inspiring, I visit regularily. Hillary
