Lesson 2: Try something new!

So most days I'm desperately bored because I work from home and honestly daytime TV sucks big ones.  So I have a hard time entertaining myself during the afternoon.  The mornings are usually pretty busy, but come 1:30 or 2:00, it starts to get pretty dull in the Dillon household.  Usually I end up trying to read, but even that can get boring if the books isn't super interesting.  Lately I've been reading James Patterson.  At first I HATED his books, but I figured out the reason was because I was so used to reading supernatural literature, that I found regular old humans to be extremely boring.  However, I'm now on my fourth JP book and I'm actually starting to enjoy them a bit.
Another thing I've taken up is artwork.  I don't mean true honest to goodness art.  There are no easels laying around the house, no charcoal.  I just downloaded a drawing app on my iPad and I've started doing portraits of family members.  My husband liked his so much, that he is using it as his Facebook profile pic.  Here are some of my pieces of art so far:

Linda (my mother)

                                                                             
                                                                      Brian (my husband)

                                                                     Harold (my father)

Tinelle (my sister)

                                                                           



There's only one shade of brown and I haven't figured out how to make us a bit lighter.  I need to figure it out so I can draw my nephews.  If you would like me to create a picture of you, just let me know!  I'd be happy to oblige :-)
