Art Every Day Month - Days 5 and 6...

Oh my goodness the days just fly by TOO FAST!!!  Where did this week go?  I feel like I say that every week, but it's so true!  EEK!  Anyhoo, I'm still participating in Art Every Day Month, and for days five and six I've got some more work from the "Draw Your Awesome Life" class to share... 

Here's the two-page spread...

It was fun trying all these different techniques!  It was all the same leaf; although as I went along the leaf was getting more and more dried out, which made it interesting.  :)

I'll leave you with a pic of the sunset over our new backyard.  I'm loving living in the country!

Thanks so much for visiting!  Have an awesome weekend my friends!

Hello Michelle,
first I have to say WOW!! That's your new backyard, WOW!! So happy for you and hope you will share lots of sunset pictures with us. I like that yours has a nice clearing to see it, mine is stuck behind the trees but still pretty. ENJOY IT MY FRIEND!

Ok, these pages are so cool! I like that you had to do a different medium for each leaf, so cool. I tried to pick a favorite and think it's the pencil one or the left side one. Great job on them all.

Thanks so much for your visit to my blog. Glad you enjoy my leaves even after 2 years of seeing them.
I have my postcards ready for ihanna's swap, so happy I did this. Trying to be brave and share my art with others.

Have a great weekend!
