Melli says
LOVELY! And fun! And I bet summer is when you have the MOST time to do things like that... I mean relaxing enough to draw something! And then have time to colorize it!
phyllis says
that is SO AWESOME. Leora, you never fail to impress me with your artistic talents!!!
kaye says
that is really neat, thanks for stopping by.
Ellie says
It summarizes summer! Beach chair and the sounds of waves! Good drawing - very creative! That is an extra effort - not just a snap - but a vision!
leoraw says
Funny, I don't think of this as extra effort, but an excuse to do some art! I haven't found any good art memes, but the photo memes like this one Robin created are so fantastic, why not throw in a bit of drawing? It's a pleasure for me to colorize, sheer fun!
Robin says
That is SO cool! Great drawing, and I love the life that just a few dabs of color brings to it. You are really talented Leora.
Carletta says
I have to echo everyone's sentiments - really nice work!
Love the added color - brings nice depth to the image.
Lovely!
Ilana-Davita says
That's great Leora. Both a wonderful idea and a splendid drawing.
Mrs. S. says
How charming! You really managed to capture summer's mood - lazy, laid-back, relaxing, and fun...
Have a great week!
bim says
What a lovely thing to do on the beach.
Jessica The Rock Chick says
Oh, that is just awesome! I'm so envious of anyone who can draw. I seem to be the only one in my family who didn't inherit that talent. So tell me, are those shark fins in the water? If I could draw, I think the next picture would be of me running! LOL
leoraw says
Shark fins, huh? Supposed to be sailboats. I'll have to think about how to make them less creepy looking in future drawings. Appreciate the feedback.
This Eclectic Life says
Great fun! I like seeing the before and after shots. The drawings seemed to capture the feel of the wind on the water very well.
Patty Reiser says
Like everyone else, I too believe you have quite a talent.
Wishing you a scent-sational summer stock sunday!

Rivka with a capital A says
So cool! Can you teach me how to colorize my sketches???
Sarah says
Hey I really like these! Especially with the photoshop coloring! :D Love it!!!!
And thank you for visiting my blog! Love the flower photos as well!
ramblingwoods says
There aren't any art memes? Not being artistic, I hadn't noticed...But I like this drawing and then what you did playing around with it...
leoraw says
I think I have grown attached to my photograhy meme pals. So I like the idea of sometimes doing a bit of art instead of a photo. A fun twist.
I found one art meme, but it was way too serious. You got rejected if you didn't follow the host's rules. Not my thing.
Indrani says
Cool!
You are talented.
Jewish Side says
great picture, and the coloring really adds to it!
We have those same beach chairs!
Robin from Israel says
I just saw this link in my stats and saw it hadn't been linked to Summer Stock so I figured I'd do you a favor and link it up - I knew you'd posted it before but I thought you'd reposted it now for Summer Stock. It wasn't till after I did that I realized that it had been for last year's SS. (This is all a very long way of explaining why your link is up over at my place - just chalk it up to good intentions LOL. They're wonderful drawings though, and so summery. Definitely worth sharing twice :).)
Julia Smith says
What a great idea! And I like how you gave us both versions - I do like your dashes of color.
quilly says
These are great. I loved the colorized version but wished to see the original -- then I scrolled down and there it was! Excellent.
Dianne says
I love your drawing!!
both colorized and original
it's a great scene!!
Mama Pajama says
Oooh, fun! What a great idea, I like them!
maryt/theteach says
Leora, love your colorized drawings. Is that The Jersey Shore? I've been to the shore lots, not so recently though... :)
leoraw says
Yes, it most certainly is the Jersey Shore. Is it Sandy Hook? I can't remember. Probably.
Please leave a comment! I love to hear from you.
