A portrait and severe weather...
Here I am after an exciting evening. Well, not really that exciting--it just could have been exciting. I was just innocently and happily drawing and listening to a podcast when I was interrupted by sirens. From there, I turn on the t.v. and am told that there are tornadoes swirling pretty much right above my apartment. Yes, I'm exaggerating. They weren't really above my apartment--just in my neighborhood. The storm tracker then went on to say that this was the worst looking sky he had ever seen in his years as a storm tracker. I do have a feeling that he has lived a sheltered storm tracking life as nothing happened here. Anyway, my cats and I spent about 5 minutes shut in the bathroom with the stinky litter boxes. None of us liked it. I know most of you dealt with the storms as well and I hope all of you made it through with minimal damage. I'm just very happy to have electricity. Losing that was my main worry. I wanted to use my computer.
As for the drawing, it was again done for the weekend drawing event. It is difficult to do a portrait in the two hours that are allotted for the event. I think I cheated a bit (probably 2 1/2 to 3 hours).
That's really all I have to say tonight. I'm not feeling particularly chatty...

I like the portrait!
I tried to call you last night. Iwas feeling Mom-ish. The tornado was right over Zeke's house, then it was over your's, LOL! Then it was heading out to Joan B's. A lot of entertainging fretting, and the new technology for tracking that stuff is good.
Sounds like it was a dark and stormy night..glad you were safe with the kittens! The portrait was outstanding. I wish more people could see your work.
Draw a portrait of Julia, ok?
