Day 23- Ammonite sketch

Today's picture is another version of yesterday's drawing. Just a sketch of the ammonite. Ammonite is a fossilized shell. Ours is from Madagascar 120 million years ago. We bought it at the Rock Shop up in Virginia City once when we were on a date there in the winter time a few years ago. Virginia City is fun, but it's definitely a lot more fun in the summer, and there's more to do there in the summer. This past fall Steve and I went there and took my mom, dad, and sister Leslie. We went and did a ghost tour. It was a little hokey, but pretty fun I thought. After the ghost tour we went to the cemetery in town that was featured in the show Ghost Adventures. That part was spooky and I was pretty scared at first.

This is the Ammonite

Day 22- Ammonite Pointillism

My parents are here visiting and today is my mom's birthday! Happy Birthday Mom!! While they've been here we have been doing some thrift store shopping looking for a nightstand for their guestroom. My mom just refinished an old door from the house on our property in Illinois. Although it's not actually our property anymore since my parents sold the place almost a year ago. I will do a picture of that place someday, it holds a special place in my heart. Anyways though, my mom refinished the door to use as a headboard and it turned out so cool. While we were out shopping one of the thrift stores had a really cool pointillism picture so I decided to do pointillism for today's sketch.I got tired of making dots so it isn't quite finished, you get the idea though.
