Well, I should have known better
than to set myself a task of daily sketches
during my birthday month - March.
Michelle and Beau also had birthdays in March,
then there was Saint Paddy's day.
A few bad pain days,
A few medical appointments,
Choir practise,
my youngest granddaughter
breaking her arm near the wrist
so more hospital visits.
I went on my first sketch outing
with an Urban Sketchers group in Brissie
(more on that in a later post).
oh, and then there was the trip to see Elton John...
Let's just say it's been a very busy month!
I did manage some sketches.
This pencil-free sketch was of some birthday candles drawn in my pocket Moleskine sketchbook
using ballpoint pens and PITT pens for definition.

I'm linking up to Sunday Sketches this week.

On my birthday, Brad and I went to see
Elton John's Million Dollar Piano Las Vegas show
which was being screened at selected cinemas here in Brissie.
Naturally, we had to add a bit of bling for the occasion.
We had a blast!
On that note,
I will say goodnight! xx
Beautiful collection of sketches this week! Happy Birthday!
