Rainy Days and Sketches

Finally a rainy day!  We need the rain so bad in California.  We are experiencing our worst draught in over 100 years.  Some cities have only enough water to last another 60 days!  Yikes!

Managed to find a little time today to finish (I think) a couple of sketches I was working on during my recovery from foot surgery.  I enjoyed using my Prismacolor pencils playing around with values.  As the saying goes, "Color gets all the credit, but value does all the work."  I was looking through a book of very intricate drawings from nature by Ernst Haeckel, called "Art Forms in Nature."  I highly recommend it as a great resource of organic shapes.
