Primulas and the Parador
Dear Sarah - 049 Daily Drawing Exchange
Hi Nikki,
February 18, 2025
If there's an advantage to being sick (but not too sick) it's that you feel less guilty if you do something that is just for pleasure. I managed to attend my Zoom yoga class this morning, talk to a client, do as much work as I could manage, and then it was time to draw.
I followed a flower doodle on IG, then drew the same flower a few more times without looking at the video . Some in ink, some in pencil. I happen to have two pots of primulas on my windowsill right now, in honor of my mother, whose birthday it is tomorrow. She loved primulas (which I also love) and African violets (Ugh. Fuzzy leaves), and I think she'd be proud of my efforts today.
I wish I had coloured pencils, because the primula flowers are stunning. I've attached a photo for your enjoyment. Perhaps coloured pencils should be my next art purchase. And some watercolour paper, since I have some of Kianna's watercolour pencils, and ... and...
Time for a Nana nap now. Hope your day has not been too insane.
When I wake up, I'll start reading The Thriller in readiness for Thursday.

No surprise, but it has been another busy day. It did include more reading and thinking about The Thriller (we should come up with a better working title - discuss on Thursday?), business (Realtor tour on Tuesday), and Wings night at the Mine Shaft Tavern. Then, I managed to get a very overdue wrap-up newsletter wrapped up… AND worked on my drawing from yesterday a bit more…
It’s still not quite done, but I have to say, it has been fun to work on this between phonecalls and emails…
Your flowers are great! Love the various approaches… and, yes - I can see how those colours in the photo are calling to you. I agree - some watercolour pencils are in your future :)
