#cyw Color Your World – Screaming Green

I’ve been grouping all the colors into one post on Fridays, but… this is a color that has more meaning than hue, so for one special post today in the Color Your World Challenge from Tourmalinenow here is my take on Screaming Green:

Congratulations Philadelphia Eagles for the best Cinderella story in sports! How the backup quarterback and the underdog Eagles beat the mighty Patriots in Super Bowl LII.

So happy right now! This is Nick Foles hoisting the Lombardi Trophy in a photo from NFL.com

The Year Of Drawing Adventurously – Week 5 – Profile

Following the chart to 52 drawings this year. The profile of Mata Hari (Margaretha Geertruida MacLeod nee Zelle)

As most of you know, I’m in the process of writing a historical novel set partly during World War One. In the course of my research of The Great War, I read all sorts of fascinating stories –some of which will help me write the time period accurately. Other bits of information won’t really help with the writing but they’re just too interesting not to keep reading. You see why this book is taking so long? I keep wandering off the main path onto the side roads and getting lost! The story of Mata Hari is one such detour. However, not only is her story interesting (coming later this week) but her profile was a real challenge to sketch.

The colors from the crayola box this week are:

Thanks to Tourmalinenow for the Color Your World Challenge. Hmmm, some of these colors are suspiciously similar to previous weeks. Damn it, Crayola! At least black is a color I can heartily endorse!

  1. Electric Lime: back to the Philly Auto Show
  2. Sky Blue: on the Irish Coast (Dingle Bay)img_5742

3. Banana mania: this does not resemble the color of any banana I’ve ever seen, but the dog’s coat is kind of that color. And he is a banana so… here’s Jay Dog!
