Thank, your portrait is very well

[font=Comic Sans Ms]Hello everyone and welcome to the Weekly Drawing Challenge. My name is Joanie (painter48) and I will be the host for this Valentine's Week. (Don't forget your special Valentine on Wednesday!)
I hope you enjoy the pictures I have chosen for you to challenge yourself. Draw one or draw them all. Your choice. Just draw something! As before, no painting. Use graphite, charcoal, pastels, color pencils, pen and ink or watercolor pencils (but no water) You just post your picture before you add the water.
Hi Brian!
Photo#1-This is Sierra, my little granddaughter - 5 years old and beautiful blue eyes.
[attachmentid=2622] [attachmentid=2623]
Photo#2-Bollinger Mill. This is a very old grist mill near Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Home of Rush Limbaugh(hahaha) and the "Trail of Tears" where the indians were forced south away from their lands and onto reservations.Many died along the way which is why it was called the Trail of Tears. We got to go inside the mill and see the huge stones that were used to grind with and the tools that were used in the old days. That is a covered bridge in the background. I believe it was built in the 1800's.

Photo#3-This is a glass sculpture of a fish - you can see through it and it has a faint blue cast to the glass. However I noticed while I was taking a picture of it that the iridescence of it kept changing depending on what light I put it in. So I'm posting one in a dark atmosphere and one in a light atmosphere. This will probably be a tough one!
[attachmentid=2626] [attachmentid=2627] [attachmentid=2628] [attachmentid=2629]
Photo#4-This is a picture of Angel - she belongs to my husband's daughter and family. She is part Bison Frise and part Poodle and part stupid and a very big part obnoxious. Can you tell I don't care for her very much? LOL If you draw her, her eyes are black. The camera flash made her have demonic eyes. How appropriate.
[attachmentid=2630] [attachmentid=2631]
Photo#5-Okay, so I don't have any Lord of the Rings or Gollums for you to draw.....Sorry. I do, however, have this gnome. He's kinda cute if you ask me.
[attachmentid=2632] [attachmentid=2633]
Photo#6-Another just plain silly picture but interesting perspective. This is the world's largest catsup bottle. It is located in Collinsville, Illinois (that's where I grew up) it is in the Guiness Book of World's records. It is a water tower that stands 170 feet tall and was built in 1949 for the G.S.Suppiger Co. who were the bottlers of Brooks Catsup. It was saved from demolition in 1995. It is recognized as an excellent example of mid 20th century roadside Americana and was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. You can read more at www.catsupbottle.com

Here's a little BONUS that I've added to the list................It may be a little blurry but you get the idea.
[attachmentid=2636] [attachmentid=2637]
So that is my challenges for the week. I hope you all enjoy them and that I have given you a good selection to chose from. I tried to pick some easy ones and some hard ones. I also hope to see some new faces joining in on the challenges. The more the merrier! Quit lurking and join us all you newbies out there.
