Some days everything conspires to make you smile
I started the day with finally finishing this boot drawing
which was homework from Andrea Joseph's lesson for Sketchbook Skool
it was done with a Pilot medium ballpoint pen and was actually quite fun
even if it was crazy time consuming
and required me to take the boot with me from room to room as I chased the good light
I love the result and may even head down this style of drawing again
there is quite the sense of achievement in finishing something like this
I was feeling pretty pleased with myself on finishing the boot
so I made another cuppa and opened the paper
and the headline at the top of the page that I opened to
pilot lands plane after losing arm.... well something like that
turns out a pilot had a prosthetic arm and it fell off during landing
which made me giggle endlessly which is probably inappropriate
but I had visions of what it was like in the cockpit as all this was going down
plus it also reminded me of the prosthetic leg incident of many years ago
one of my flatmates from way back when, who shall remain nameless
was friends with a bloke with a prosthetic leg
he would come and stay for the weekend sometimes
and after one particular night out on the town
I was woken by my flatmate looking under my bed in an attempt to see if the leg was there
it seems that at some stage during the night he had misplaced it
and after searching the flat and not finding it
we ended up having to visit the various drinking holes they had frequented until we found it
I still have fond memories of being able to walk into a bar
and asking if someone had handed in a leg the night before
my life was awesome sometimes
But wait there is more
the morning got better because I saw a dog walk into a lightpole
he hit it with pace too and did that double take and head shake like in the cartoons
I had been watching his owner share his pastry with him while they were standing at the crosswalk and I was in the car waiting on the lights
the dog couldn't take his eyes off that pastry as he trotted along when they started to cross
so much so that he smacked right into the lamp post on the other side of the road
the owner gave him the rest of the pastry to help him recover from the trauma
and it had me giggling all the way home
talk about a great start to the day right
I can barely wait for what other shenanigans the day is going to serve up
happy painting all...xx
