Day #: 45 Theme: Banshee/ MC: Markers Time Spent: +4 1/2 hrs Comments: I worked my butt off on this for over 4 1/2 hrs. My great,great grandma on my mom's side emigrated to the USA from Ireland in 1904,if I remember correctly. It's St.Patrick's Day,after all. Traditionally, St. Patrick was associated with the color blue,so here we are. exclaim Now with alternate pencil version. exclaim Also,today is my mom's 14th anniversary since she quit smoking. The doctor told her she had 5 years left,MAX. She sure showed him!

Day #: 49 Theme: Squirrel Time Spent: 1 3/4 hrs Comments: So many different species to annoy pets and people everywhere. I have some living in my roof and I can hear them chattering and fighting. I want to evict them kindly but I don't have the money for that and to seal off the eaves that a former "handyman" never finished. At least they provide cheat entertainment for the cats!

Day #: 54 Theme: Duck Time Spent: 2 3/4 hrs Comments: I bought some Liqui-Mark pencils and wanted to try them out. I also tried a blending technique using rubbing alcohol and a q-tip that I saw on YT. I think it would have turned out better if I had a better quality paper. They blended with my metallic pencils pretty well. They lay down pigment without much effort,despite being sorta scratchy to use.

Day #: 56 Theme: Femme Fatale Time Spent: +/- 3 3/4 hrs Comments:Inspired by the events at the end of Chicago Fire 12×11 Inside Man. Stella Kidd is Kelly Severide's ultimate Femme Fatale. He has literally blown up a entire firetruck (Truck 81) just to get back to the love of his life! They always to find ways to come home to each other. Kinda half-assed the background because we don't actually see their bedroom often. Chicago Fire is property of d**k Wolf Productions and NBCUniversal.
