Cheese city

I have been mixing two digital media. Last week I was able to use a Bamboo Fun tablet. The tablet is the perfect tool to fix pictures but it is also one of the best tools to paint digital drawings. There are several software programs that will work with the tablet. Some are more sophisticated and professional than others; but if you just want to have fun and spend sometime doing relaxing creating a fantasy world, any drawing software will work. For the paintings below ArtRage was used.



This painting was done by Isabella and I. We were discussing if the moon was really made out of cheese. She told me that there are space mice that take big chunks of cheese every night while we sleep. She also told me that in some nights she has seen them. We, then decided to draw a picture of a city with the cheese moon. We called our city "cheese city"; the city line looks kind of crooked because, we believed the cheese was one of those strong smelly french cheeses that we love so much. By the way, we weren't able to paint the space mice because Isabella didn't want to tell how they look. I believe she wants to keep them totally secret, so they can eat their cheese in peace. Anyway, I would let you know a secret, every night when she's sleeping I look out my window to see if I can get to see and join them to have some of that delicious treat.

The orchids is a drawing done on a gift given to my wife in her birthday by our good friends Mariana, Mini and Oscar while here during their visit. Surprisingly, the orchid is doing pretty well in spite of the heater and the lack of fresh air.
