I had hoped to post a drawing made today, but I've been, very uncharacteristically, in bed all day. Struggling to vanquish some bug or another. I'm feeling somewhat better now. I drew this corner of the planetarium, and some outdoor lights (I seem to be attracted to these) yesterday. The deep blue skies I'd been so inspired by earlier in the month have given way to hazy, pale blue. Soon, on many days, there will be only haze and no color at all. Summer in the south.
So my *last landscape for this month of sketches. June wil be 'In the Garden' month---I'll be working a lot on my own garden, so will have lots of images from that project. I'll draw flowers, too, and parts of others' gardens---anything relating to gardening that strikes my sketching fancy will be fair game.
Please scroll down for complete image, or check Exteriors/landscapes album at left.
5 sketchbooks down, wow! another wonderful month this was, and so many more to come, what a tremendous treat and inspiration these all are, many thanks Laura!

A delightful drawing to end the month with I must say.

Linda, I'm heading for the bathtub very soon. Z, those were my thoughts exactly. The Romantic fallacy lives. I hope the laurelines start to come easily. Marly, thank you--I got the package today. Three people were made very happy. Lori, Lindsay and Chris, thanks so much.

Oh - hope you're feeling better soon! I believe in lots of hot baths with good smelling stuff and trashy books to take the edge off of any illness, by the way -- just a tip to add to your list of future remedies! :-D I'm looking forward to gardening month!

Hope you are feeling absurdly healthy and spilling-over with vim by now. (Actually a day in bed sounds delicious, the mother of three-children-at-home thinks...)
Can't wait to see what you do with a garden at night. Moonflowers and moon? Something.

i absolutely hate being sick in spring or summer...much more than fall or winter when hunkering down feels good....when it's warm or sizzling it seems to be like "salt in the wound". so was glad to see the post that you are feeling a tad better this morning.
i can hardly wait for your June-garden explorations, i feel some quintessential Laurelines coming on!!!
:^)
