Snowflake, Work in Progress

I'm getting ready for the busy season. Summer is the best time to do that. I'm about half way done with this painting, just have to finish the pine tree and do the background color. In order to draw the snowflake, I first cut it out of paper, which is very easy and then I traced in onto the watercolor paper. After that, it's all history. Hm... I just thought about doing a tutorial on drawing snowflakes like this...

Apocalypse Update: It just stopped raining. My little garden is growing really fast with all this rain fall. With all the fresh veggies I don't think this world is doing all that bad and I'm sure those leafy greens agree with me.

Cookie and Chocolate Milk Diet

Yeap, this is basically what I was living on for the last few days. Occasional sandwiches and fruits are thrown in, but for the most part it's huge, home made chocolate chip cookies and tons of chocolate milk. I would like to thank Vincent for it since he is the one making these cookies for me. Would you like to know how? I think you would, because they are actually healthy. What he uses is organic chocolate chips (sometimes carob chips), sprouted wheat flour, poppy seeds, brown sugar (sometimes maple sugar), aluminum free baking powder and lots of love. He bakes them at 300F. When he made the first batch I thought they weren't cooked all the way through because they were really soft, but that's actually normal. The taste and texture is actually like something between a cookie and a cupcake. Chocolate milk he's been getting for me is organic Wegman's brand chocolate soy milk. And yes, it's his way to celebrate our anniversary that is coming up on July 4th. That's basically what I've been up to these days, eating cookies, drinking chocolate milk, getting scratched by Monkey boy and fixing up all those letters to get them print ready.

Apocalypse Update: it's a cool summer, I'm rather liking it. This end of the world thing is rather pleasant. I remember last year I was ready to fall over and die from heat. Oh, yes and we officially have 5 month till the end of the world ends.
