Some Days...

 

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
