Recuperating and sketching....

I've been recuperating after coming down with a terrible bug 

in the wee hours of Thursday morning.  

Vomiting, massive headache, and intense aches and pains all over. 

I was pretty much bedridden or couch-ridden. 

By Friday mid-morning, I managed to do some sketching in bed 

and, as luck would have it, I was able to stomach green tea again, 

but still no coffee or food....even a sip of coffee would make me feel nauseous. 

This is the extra large mug that my daughter bought for me some months back. 

I had accidentally broken my previous mug and

Michelle knows I love BIG, endless mugs of tea or coffee. 

That's my girl! 

This was sketched directly with pen and watercolours 

in my pocket A6 Moleskine sketchbook.

On Saturday, I was eating light meals but could only cope with coffee in small doses. 

I did some more quick sketching....

keeping Roz Stendahl's Sketchbook Skool klass in mind, 

I sketched some of my granddaughters' animal figurines 

which I had borrowed for this very purpose. 

These were sketched with pigment liners 

in my large A5 Moleskine sketchbook.

Some lounge room sketches below...
Brad dosed and I sketched him
while the Buddha looked on....
his turn came around too.

Sketched with a Uniball Vision Elite .5 blue/black pen 

in Moleskine A6 sketchbook.

You may notice that the sketch below was in the very last page 

of my pocket A6 Moleskine sketchbook 

again sketched with a Uniball Vision Elite .5 pen in blue/black.

Another one completed...YAY!!!   

OH, this is one I forgot to post the other week....

another animal figurine sketch, 

this time trying out a PITT Calligraphy pen to sketch very quickly 

in my Moleskine A6 sketchbook. 

I'm linking up to Sunday Sketches and Artists Play Room this week.

I'm feeling much, much better now
and I certainly hope I won't run into that bug again 

any time soon.
It was downright nasty!
