Grandpa's Fishing Pole

It is time for another week of challenges at Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge Blog..  This week the challenge is SUMMER VACATION.. I feel like I haven't even had one this year YET.  I have been working so many hours and then spending weekends watching my son play baseball (which I love).

This is what I will be doing when I head home to see my dad this summer.  He has a pond on his farm and we spend hours out there enjoying our fishing.  This image is available at Mo's Digital Pencil store and is called Fishing.

I colored this with Prisma Pencils and Gamsol.  They have not seen the light of day in many months and so I decided to get them out to play.  

Come join in on the fun and create a card that depicts your summer vacation.

  18. Hi Dawn! I've been admiring your coloring on this ever since I saw it in the yahoo album. It's awesome; really a card colored as beautifully as this doesn't require any embellies. You are a great talent, doesn't matter what medium you use.
    Hope you will soon find the time to enjoy a proper vacation too:)
