I was feeling quite sick yesterday so was not going to sketch at all for
Paint Party Friday but then, when 10 o'clock hit last night, I started feeling a little guilty despite having a good excuse. I had been very pleased with myself in meeting the different art challenge commitments the past few weeks and I just couldn't let it slide. So I dragged my sick bod over to my art desk and chose to do a quick ink sketch of the spent Philips Energy Saver light-bulb sitting on my desk awaiting disposal. I couldn't take a decent photo with the artificial lighting last night so I quickly snapped one this morning. Still not a good photo but time is of the essence as I'm already running late by Aussie time.
Sketch - Philips Energy Saver light-bulb sketched directly with pen then followed up with some sumi ink which I painted on with a brush for shading.
OH my! I just went to get the current link from the
Paint Party Friday blog for this week, only to see that one of my sketches has been featured in their post. How lovely! Thanks, Kristin and Eva!
Now, I'm even more relieved that I didn't let this week slide by due to sickness.

Hope you are better now, Serena...I am just getting well now, too. I hurried and painted a piece this morning for PPF :}
Your drawing is very realistic!

Thanks, Jan. I'm glad to hear you are getting better now and it's good to know I wasn't the only one who rushed to get a piece done for PPF this week. hehe
aw, big hugs and hope you're feeling a lot better (sending a cooling breeze to you).
Congratulations for your feature on PPF's page - your sketch is stunning and, yes, such a lovely thing for you to see it there!
PPF really spurs our creative juices doesn't it. Your light bulb is a beauty and long may it shine ;D) (one of our long-lifers was a bit of a dud ha ha). Cheers now and Happy PPF!
very nice, glad you got it done!
hope you are feeling better :)
great sketch of the bulb, looks exactly like one :) I've tried drawing one, but just ended up a big mess lol
Hope you are feeling better Serena. Congrats on being "cover girl" at PPF this week and having your super art featured! That is one marvelous bulb sketch I might add. Happy PPF!
Congrats on being featured! I have some bulbs like that, too.
Hope you're feeling better soon. love and hugs :)
Your sketches are simply amazing. A lightbulb - such an ordinary thing, you make it look good!
Thanks, Sue. I've noticed the occasional dud in the long-lifers too. :)

Sorry you're sick. Hope it's nothing serious, and you get better quickly.
What a wonderful painting! Congrats on being featured. I hope you feel completely better soon.
Fabulous drawing, especially when I read that you sketched it directly with pen - and all those proportions look perfect!
Hope you are feeling better and congratulations on the feature. I really like the bulb too and the photo is great.
Great post, Mum! The light bulb looks great! That's not good that you weren't feeling well that night, good that you managed to do it despite feeling unwell. Congratulations also for getting featured on PPF!
Love Brad xoxo

Thanks, Tracy. I love working with pen directly. I think it makes me pay attention to proportions more even though they aren't always perfect, I can still work with it. :)
