My husband intrigues me. That’s a good thing. I don’t know about you, but I like a few surprises. The good kind, that is. No shocking surprises, thank you. When Don’s at work and has to kill some time, he plays with colored markers. And he comes up with pictures like the one above.
Or this one:
And this is his most recent drawing:
Don took these photos of his drawings with his phone.
I like his style. A lot. When I was out and about running errands yesterday, he had one request: some more markers. I can see some of the new colors in this drawing.
Since he’d already posted these on Facebook, I figured he wouldn’t mind if I posted them on the blog. Nevertheless, I asked him anyway. I can’t wait to see what he comes up with next!
As for today:
It’s reseeding day. I give up on the rocks. I will never get rid of them all.
Tomorrow is mulching day.
Then mowing day.
Yikes.
The fact is, I may have to leave a day early for Hartford and I have much to do in the meantime. The good news? I will get to come home for a few days while the director has everyone on their feet and is staging the play. Since I’m being put up in a Homewood Suites, the theater doesn’t want to have to pay for my room when there’s nothing for me to do. That means I can go home, see my doggies and husband and continue my planting in the garden. Then, of course, I will go back for the duration of the rehearsal period.
Don’t forget about your photos in our scarves/shawls! I’m not letting up, my friends.
Have a great Tuesday.
Does my face need to be in the picture, hah.
Amazing marker pictures. They remind me of the book “Runaway Bunny”……I have no idea why but that just came to mind.
I have an idea about the rocks. Advertise an easter egg hunt. When the kids get there tell them they are hunting rocks instead. Maybe you could paint a few with a “marker” (of course) with a number. Those with a number win a prize…….and the one with the biggest pile of stones gets something too. Just a thought…..at first I was kidding but now it seems like a good idea.
What fun pictures your husband draws! Busy week for you! Hugs, Linda
Sedums like to climb over rocks. Don’s drawings are compelling. I like them too. Buy him lots of markers.
Love his whimsical drawings! And the fact that he still “plays.” A very talented man you’ve got there.

Wow, Claudia, maybe Don should think about a new career! Those drawings are really striking! If you are free during the day when you are in Hartford I recommend a tour of the Mark Twain house in the downtown area. We went last weekend and it was very interesting. Don’t miss the documentary. The Harriet Beecher Stowe center is right next to it, too. Linda
A creative mind. He takes pictures of them. Does he sign them? Does he keep them in a notebook? What does he do with them?
Maybe he could sell them… in an Etsy store!
They look very artsy.
Suitable for framing.
seriously.

Don must day-dream about being at home (:
If I had one if your scarves, I’d send you a picture of me ~ from the neck down. In fact, forget the neck!
Don might be into a new career, those are pretty interesting.

I think his drawings are kind of interesting and quirky! Certainly colorful! Maybe tonight for the photo? We will see.~Hugs, Patti
I love these…he’s a very talented man. you should make those into greeting cards and sell them on your etsy…very chic and whimsical at the same time…

I love the drawings! So much color. He does a great job with markers.
I love the energy and color in those pictures, Claudia! They’re truly beautiful. I hope you have some framed and around the house. Take care.
They’re fabulous! How come he’s been hiding this talent for so long?????
I think Don needs his own Etsy shop – those are great!… Donna
Claudia, Have Don make those into little cards. You could sell them in your shop. Just pretty picture fronts and blank inside. I buy those at street fairs all the time. Smiles, Susie
I like his style. I love his perspective on things. Good luck with Hartford! xo Diana
OOO I like that first one very much!
Blessings, Joanne
I love his drawings. I agree with the comment about the greeting cards. They would be perfect. :)
Claudia,
As an art history major I’d say Don has some real talent. Maybe he needs to start a blog & open an etsy shop in his down time!
