For Lizzie

To go with her song:

Billions of photons tumble from the sky
Just for you, drop that sparkle in your eye
Collect up the beads of gold in your woven basket
Save them for a rainy day and let the sunshine pour

Chorus:
Remember that day in February
We hailed a black cab and sialed on our way
You pulled me close to your chest and whispered in my ear
“I’m gonna love you until the end of time”

You’ll carry my burdens and I’ll hold your hand
We’ll picnic in the park and on the beachy sands
We’ll sit as a pair in the dusky night
The two of us as one, under the silvery moonlight

And so our story, it continues
The chapters up to ten are done
But Babe, what a way to start a novel
A book I never could put down

-Lizzie Ayling

Technically I owe her a willow tree, but I was in the mood for portraits this week so:

Ok, so this is a weird one but I said I would draw anything… so: A pineapple man playing a ukulele on a swing set, for tim.

Out of Place

Super rough, but it makes me giggle. This was for Cara’s suggestion of something out of place. No more sicky, so back to trying for one a day.

My one a day plan is on a bumpy road cause I broke with a fever late last night, so concentration is off. But here goes #4 assigned by Cat.

And as an added treat, a second interpretation of it by Cara:

Assignments

To get out of this dry spell I’ve made up a new game. I’ve solicited assignments and I’m required to complete one every day until I’ve gotten through the list. They don’t have to be good, but they have to be done. Aubrey’s Boy and Owl was the first, and a pretty good start, I might even make that one into a color piece.

I finished this one yesterday:

As assigned by kate.

And this tonight:

A portrait of Hayley, as per her request.

More to come. And I’m still taking requests.
