Working on Lil' Dragon, Pyro Training has been a bit slow going ... seems like yard work and house work seem to be taking precedence lately! Pooh!
Today was the only free day I have this week (meaning no appointments, no shopping) so this morning I got an early start before the heat set in and edged the entire back yard! In most cases, edging wouldn't be a big task .. however, in our case, the edges rarely get trimmed and soon they begin to drastically encroach on the grass area. As the grass (er, mowed area that is comprised mostly of weed type vegetation) becomes smaller and smaller I begin to envision a huge weed jungle of over 6' high beginning to take over! Ergo, today I donned my "Edging" gear, plugged in the weed eater and mulched weeds back to fences, garages, and house foundation! Tomorrow, all that downed vegetation should be pretty well dry and I can rake it up before my first appointment of the day!
Once that was done I had about 4 hours left over for me! I opted to trot up stairs and work on my favorite little dragon! Here is what day six resulted in ....
The little guy is coming to life! I am liking the color selections in this version but have already figured out some more changes that need to be made to this charming little character in my next rendering!
Take care and happy day!

love his bubbly pinkish skin and am so drawn to the stones at the base of the fire.....so much to look at and ponder. You are amazing
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you like the stones, I don't know why but I like drawing (and collecting) rocks!
DeleteHappy you are enjoying the progress of the Lil' Dragon piece ... :)
Good for you, getting your edging done ;o) I usually do ours, once a month. Depends if we get a lot of rain!
ReplyDeleteYour dragon is so precious! He has such soft gentle eyes! Really love him Karen Anne ;o) The colours are stunning!
Big Hugs ;o)
I don't especially like yard work *sigh* but someone around here has to do it! I am kind of enjoying using the weed wacker though, it is fun watching the weeds meet their demise!
DeleteLil' Dragon is evolving, I am liking this color combination but do have several minor changes in store for the next one ...
Big hugs back atcha!
Karen Anne
thumbs up on your diligence despite the weeds!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lise, if you knew how much I dread yard work you'd give me a purple heart! I am always injuring myself out there ...
DeleteI have started to make it a bit fun though by adding a few gnomes and fairies tucked into little hideaway spots ... ;)
