Last night I started this graphite sketch of Rosie. I wanted to do one of her pouting after she loses her galosh (I do so love that "galosh" is an actual word). does she look sufficiently pouty? Of course she can't go wandering around on three galoshes. She then wouldn't have the natural grace that all rhinos possess (yes, I made that up). I think this Rosie is a little bit larger (as in a bit older) than the others that I have done, but these are all just about playing around anyway. Once I decide the style and medium that I want to use, I will then have to try make the drawings more uniform. I did make her legs much heftier than they were in the photo as I've already established that her legs are quite sizable.
And here is the watercolor version that I did today.
Today I actually did some baking (yes, you heard that right--I baked!) To be specific, I whipped up a box of Ghirardelli brownies to take to work tomorrow. I also made tuna salad for dinner. Yes, I was a regular Martha Stewart. Oh, and I will have to add (just to make my mom happy) that I also vacuumed.
As for the tuna salad, I was going to just go for the standard, but then I noticed that there was an interesting looking recipe on the back of the pasta box, so I tried a variation of that. This one called for pesto. I actually had some pesto in my fridge, so I thought, "why not?" So, my tuna salad is a bit greenish in color, and oh, so tasty.
One more thing before I sign off for the night. I'm often convinced that my cats are trying to kill me. This theory comes from the way they stare at me with evil gleams in their eyes from across the room, or the way they get under my feet and try to trip me. Well, tonight one of them succeeded in tripping me. I actually fell to the floor and it was painful. About an hour after this happened, as he didn't succeed in causing my death (only a sore shoulder), he tried it again. But this time, I was onto him and managed to stay on my feet. I am going to have to be on my guard more often, it seems...

It is nice to see Rosie in her two forms here. I heart Rosie in all her forms and am especially fond of her large, strong legs! I am glad you are still playing with her and discovering who she is and how she looks through your drawings. I believe the "real Rosie" is emerging and when "the final" Rosie appears--through the tip of your pencil---I think you'll know her immediately : )
I want brownies now and green tuna salad sounds most intriguing. I hope that some of both help ease you through a Sunday at the library!
Keep up the drawing. I love to see the rhinos on the blog.
