Yesterday a co-member of the Mobile Artists Collective, a Facebook group that I belong to, posted an image that intrigued me so much that I felt I had to try drawing it myself, and luckily, Janis Bradenburg Lee gave me permission to use her image as a reference for a digital drawing and to share a little background on the image that she posted. Here’s my rendition of Janis’ image as drawn in Procreate:
And here’s the image that Janis created in iColorama and Repox and posted:

The original photo, from Pixabay, is here:

As I mention to Janis when I contacted her to request permission for me to use her image as a reference for a drawing and to post all this on my illustroblog, what she had crafted and posted called my attention for a variety of reasons, but mainly because of the colors, expression, and effects. I hope to do more like this.

Named after the “serrated mountain” of Montserrat located near Barcelona in Catalonia, Spain, the Benedictine Abbey of Santa Maria de Montserrat is as breathtaking as its setting. Among the thousands of visitors on the grounds of the abbey on Wednesday the 18th of May 2016 I actually saw one of the resident monks walk into the basilica. This drawing, which has helped smooth out some of my jet lag, is based on a photo that I took with my iPhone.

Yea, Annyth and I have been vacationing our butts off! Last week we visited two of the nine Azorean islands, Terceira and São Miguel. For the past few days of our second and final week of unbelievable fun, we’ve been hanging out with a group of 17 people at a villa on the outskirts of Sitges, Spain in the Penedès wine and cava region in Catalonia. One of us, Marjorie, is celebrating her 60th birthday, the other 16 of us have been invited to make sure she enjoys herself. Today we visited the winery located right next door, Torre del Veguer, and had an enjoyable tasting and pairing. I hyperlinked the winery’s website so that you can see the details for yourself; in the meantime, all 17 of us are going to continue sampling the wine we purchased in preparation for the seafood paella cooking class/dinner that we’re having tonight right here at the Can Pares villa. If we need an additional reminder of our winery tour, all we’ll need to do is look right over the fence.
