I'm back (click on the name to expand)

Hello my friends! I am back from vacation. We went to the Dominican, it was great! The weather was awesome, a bit windy, but just right.

The ocean was warm, the palm trees and the sand were there, food and drinks all included. I still have the resort bracelet on my wrist.

I made a few photos, I'll show them later. I brought my sketch book and my pencils with me, and was sketching away on the beach, in the lobby, and in the airport.

Here they are. Actually, I will start with a photo from my phone (I brought my blackberry with me, downloaded 6 books and was reading them on the beach. I don't need a separate reader, I can totally use my Blackberry for anything! I love it!)

Here is a palm tree I sketched:

Actually, to start from the beginning, I would have to start with this one. We left CooCoo at home, bought an automatic feeder and left enough water. But just to make sure that she will be ok, we asked our neighbor to stop by and make sure that the feeder is working and there is enough water and that she is OK. We left chocolates on the table for the neighbor to treat himself when he comes. I also made a card. Unfortunately, I didn't scan the colored final card, so here is the sketch, so that you have an idea:

And then on the plane to the Dominican, I was still a bit worried about CooCoo, and was thinking about her all the flight.

At night we chilled near the lobby bar. I sketched some people there too:

  5. Dusik, are you feeling better? I'm so sorry you had to pay with a cold. :( But from the looks of your photos, it was well worth it! That ocean is so beautiful and green! Wow. Thanks for sharing your great sketches. Any vacation where you get to lie on the beach and read and draw, draw, draw is pure heaven in my book!

    I'm sure CooCoo was happy to see you again.

    Merry Christmas to you and your family!
