Cherish the Sun - original sketch by @merej99 - Day 9

Cherish the Sun

This is my Day 9 piece for the 30-days of drawing challenge in November.

Cherish the Sun by Meredith Loughran, drawing, sketch, art

This is actually inspired by a challenge led by @collabornation to find a poem and "expand on the piece."

This is the link to the challenge

So I headed off to the poetry tag and found @ericvancewalton's poem

MEMORIES OF THE SUN (An Original Poem)

I don't think @ericvancewalton would mind that I used his poem as inspiration... but you know what they say about assume...

Hopefully my sketch has done his poem justice.


I love my husband!

Hubby went out to get some beer and soda, but he was gone longer today. I wasn't really thinking anything of it except for that passing thought.

Anyway, I was up until about 4AM this morning on Skype with my son talking about the presidential election. Feeling about 90% healthy, I'd slept in a bit. Needless to say, I was still yawning, scratching and slurping on a second (or third) cup of coffee when hubby got home.

I hadn't even looked at my work station when he said, "I got you a surprise."

He bought me proper watercolor paper and brushes!

He even modeled his hands for me so I could have a reference to draw from.


And here's another picture of the sketch at a slightly different angle.

Is it any wonder why I love him so much?

Oh...
And after I sketched this, I didn't have the heart to put color to it.

I love it just as it is!

What's your opinion?
