I guess it isn't even technically a re-post since I haven't posted it here, but it is in my other public blog. I'm posting it today because I like it and I feel like staying home and doing quiet activities (although not pouring milk from a pitcher as that would be silly--my milk will stay in its carton) today, but again I have to work. The painting that this is based on is one of my favorite paintings. I could just sit and stare at it for hours. This is also (even though it was basically just a spontaneous sketch) one of my favorite drawings (even if it is just a copy of someone else's work). I just like how it turned out. I like the mood of it, her expression and her form. I also think it is a good example of my style of drawing. Someday I would like to try painting her. I'm hoping to get to some painting tonight.
It is raining again and I am loving it. It is fine when it rains like this all day long, it's just the intense downpours that I worry about as they can leak into my apartment. The only problem with this rains was the fact that the darkness it created caused me to sleep until 10:30 which makes it difficult to get much done before having to be to work by 12:45. I'm still sipping my coffee now at 11:32 and I think that that means that I won't be getting my exercise in before work today. Oh well... Today is another party day at work. Yes, someone else is leaving us. It's supposed to be a barbecue. I guess that means someone will be standing out in the rain barbecuing, doesn't it? It will not be me. For one thing, I have never barbecued in my life, for another, I'm not that self-sacrificing, even though I really like the person that is leaving. Also, even though barbecuing is a traditional male activity, I have noticed that for most of the parties, it is the women that do all the work (even when men are on the party committee) and I have a problem with that. We all (well most of us) work equally hard at work, so why should the women do all the kitchen stuff? It's not like the men are out chopping wood? So, I will not be pouring milk from a pitcher for the men at this party. They can get their own milk.
Edited to add that I'm getting annoyed by all of my Facebook folk whining about the weather. You guys had your day after day of sun and warm weather. Let those of us that enjoy this kind of weather, enjoy it. Every other status today is "so and so is so sick of the rain and cold." Come on, it's only been cooler for like a week and the rain is wonderful. I heart it. I suppose now it's really time for me to start getting ready. I just want to say home and enjoy the rain. *whine*

lovely drawing and lovely rant about men and parties and bbqing and such :) As for the weather...I am loving it too and since I don't have a facebook page and therefore no facebook friends, I don't have to listen to their whining about the weather : )
Sorry you had to work today. It was a great day to be doing quiet things--even if they do not include pouring milk from pitchers. I poured chai from a carton and enjoyed that very much.
Hope you have tomorrow off and can enjoy some quiet activities--although I've heard the weather might be terrible. 60 degrees and sunny? I can't stand the thought of that.
I really like this drawing and can see why it's your favorite.
I think you should just tell those guys that they have to pitch in and barbecue once in awhile...lazy.
