More homemade breakfast toast. Crunchy pear slices, walnuts and mascarpone cheese on toast, drizzled with honey. Yes, another version of the earlier ones (with strawberries and figs).

At the cafe…We love our coffee here in Melbourne, Australia.

Have a lovely weekend.

Continuing from my previous post (click here for more info about the project), this is my 2nd drawing on photographs.

I have returned home from my travels. This is not a recent photo, but one from my collection, of my neighbourhood in Melbourne, Australia.

Me and my robot

IMG_0084 

I am starting a project with a collection of drawings on photographs, which will end up in a sketchbook. I know it sounds a bit odd, because sketchbooks are usually empty. There will be lots of blank pages to sketch on too, and maybe one in 5 pages will be a printed page of my drawing.

There will be 10 drawings, which are to be completed within 5 weeks. Check back mid-week, and weekend for new works!

This first drawing is inspired by the movie “Real Steel”, which I saw a few days ago (click on the link to see the trailer). It’s not a movie with a lot of depth, but I loved it, and now I want my own robot.

The theme for this week’s Illustration Friday is contraption. How timely.

Man taking a snooze on a plane. He seemed pretty comfortable.

It’s Friday again? Where has the week gone! Paint Party Friday is back again. Hope you had a nice and creative week.

Happy Weekend.

If you are an art enthusiast, hopefully you might appreciate this photo of Pollock’s work (with a woman taking her time studying it) taken at MOMA in New York

La Jolla, San Diego

I spent a lot of time sitting on the beach with my art materials. It is a beautiful place, and the weather was perfect. I had some nice conversations with a few people who stopped to chat.

This is my Watery Wednesday submission – check out the link for more watery posts.

This little guy have learnt that humans are non-threatening. It rummaged through my plastic bag of art materials… it must have been hungry.

Seals in La Jolla © Evelyn Howard 2011

There are many seals who live around here. It was easy to spot them on the beach, or swimming in the sea, but we were not allowed to get close.

An interesting sculpture on top of the Contemporary Museum of Art, which is located along the beach

It was closed when I was there, but I could walk around the sculpture garden.
