| Day 403 of Daily Drawing Challenge |
I drew this for a Daily Drawing Challenge on Facebook. People just sharing their drawings based on a
photo. This is Day 403 of the Challenge. I drew this on my sketchbook using watercolor and red wine. Red wine was 2014 Green Fin Cabernet Sauvignon from Trader Joes. Pretty good. Very fruity for a Cabernet. Quite tasty. Should be good with any kind of light foods. Perhaps not with a thick steak, though. I tend to go for a deeper, somewhat more bitter Cab to go with heavier foods.
I have this whole week off...which is generally after New Years. Pretty sweet! So much time that I don't know how to best use. I walk longer in the mornings now, while listening to podcasts. I went bowling yesterday with a Meetup group. Also, finished up some freelance drawings.
I've been drinking a lot of teas lately. Different varieties. A recent tea I got into is Honeybush Tea, which is similar to Rooibos, but sweeter. I got a Rooibos and Honeybush Tea from Trader Joes, which went for under $3 for 20 tea bags.

I recently got a super cool Tea Collection (10 different teas in a glass tube) from a White Elephant Gift Exchange. I could never find where they sold this. Looking up the UPC Barcode or looking up the name on the web got me no results. I been trying a different tea a day. They're all quite different and flavorful. I like the Caramel Rooibos and Darjeeling. Since they're loose-leaf teas, I needed a tea infuser. From Target, I got a
Primula Tea Brewing Ceramic Mug With Infuser for a little under $9 (cut price). A nice little thing to have if you have loose-leaf teas and not part of a tea party.
Since I also have some wine, I got a
Houdini Deluxe Wine Preserver at Target for around $9. The air pump keeps with wine fresh as you pump out the air after you have opened the bottle.

Added a Pothos houseplant to my apartment and
cilantro to my herb garden. It's a little more green. |

I drew this when I went to see Star Wars with a friend in Alhambra.

Overall, the week has been going fine. I may plan a trip with some friends this week to make the most of my one week vacation. Admittedly, just a bit of R & R with teas, wines, and art is not a bad idea either.
