The main purpose of this blog is for Becca (heading to London) to study and myself (staying in New London, MN) to post a drawing a day. In addition, we will also be posting photos of paintings, travels, adventures, friends or other tidbits of info. Since we will be creating our art in two different 'Londons' an ocean away from each other, our blog is titled. . .

'A Drawing a Day, an Ocean Away'

Minneapolis Institute of Arts

Hi Becca, David and I went to the Foot in the Door 4 reception last night. It was fun to see all the artwork. It was easier then I thought it would be to find our work. We went early before a lot of people got there. Kim, Hannah and Emily went later and said that it took them a half hour to find a parking place and they had to stand in line for 20 minutes to get in. She said the people watching was good - like looking at artwork! Here are some pictures I took:

My Bike!

I am renting this bike from an artist at the studios.  It's so fun (even if it does remind me of the bike I had when i was twelve)!

Sandollars and Starfish

I watched two travel shows on England today while I was exercising. It made the shows more interesting and fun to watch because you are over there right now. Your mom was telling me that you are going to Italy and a couple other countries. I am so jealous!!!

Hi Becca,

I submitted my young tiger drawing. I reworked it and forgot to scan in the new painting. But here's a post of the original one I drew.

Hi!
Thanks for taking that to the MIA!  I am so excited to come home and see it there.  That is such a cool thing they do.  What did you end up submitting?  I really like the tea-cups.  AND the snow!  It does make me miss home!
