Day 43: Martian Sunset

I am reading a book by Brendon Burchard, THE CHARGE, Activating the 10 Human Drives that Make You Feel Alive, and he was talking about how our brain becomes more activated when we engage in something novel or challenging.  He than states that "an engaged brain in a happy brain."  So, it made me think...
If I ask someone to draw a sunset, we all have a set idea of what a sunset looks like, and our brains don't have to work too hard because we have seen this a thousand times. However, if I ask someone to draw a sunset on Mars (or any other planet) we now are faced with a whole new concept that we have never seen and/or given much thought to.

An engaged brain in a happy brain!

Day 7: Earth and Marz

I've been playing "Draw Something" on the iPhone. Got the word Earth, and I wanted to draw it again. Fun


I drew this while I was teaching an all day seminar in IL. I mentioned my iPad Drawing Challenge, and suggested that they check out the app "Paper".  My attendees where busy creating colleges.  


I really like the layering effect of the watercolor.
