    Okay - one day away from having posted all year, and I'm running low on ideas... besides, the television, magazines, papers etc. are all about rehashing the year. So why not? I decided I'd take a look at the things people who visited this sketch blog were searching for when they ran across it, and choose one of the strangest (and some search terms are pretty strange...). 
    The search term I thought was oddest and also drawable ("dog dog gold" not being very drawable, for example) was "dog walking a frog". Okay, here's a frog out walking his pup.

    What I decided to do was to use the outline for one object as if it were a "scribble drawing" challenge. Instead of drawing something out of a scribble, I would draw something within the outline, turning it in any direction. 
    After turning the outline onto the side, I chose to draw an imaginary animal since that gives complete freedom to invent. I think this creature looks like a type of dragon and like some of the images of very tiny animals blown up very large - fleas, mites and so on.

    The first day of summer in COLOR...

    So - the first day of summer and school's out. Nothing serious or elevating for today!

    I was beginning to sketch some clematis when I thought that since their blossoms looked like little skirts and the seed heads looked like crazy hair puffs, I would draw them that way. It doesn't have to make sense...

     Here's an Earth Day sketch - I've used a traditional Apache cradle (which is normally laced back and forth across the baby/ papoose) as Earth's cradle with representatives of Earth's species strung on the laces as the web of life. The Apache woman is, of course, Mother Earth, and she is clothed in her continents. The continents are distorted and not at all placed in relative positions, but the planning that would involve would have added significantly to the time needed, so I've left it up to the viewer to imagine they can discern some familiar outlines...
