Blind Contour Friday 09 & Illo Friday's "Fresh"
Often for breakfast (just this morning), I have hot oatmeal mixed with a spoonful of Sun Maid Raisins and a tad of brown sugar. Yum! It only stands to reason that I chose these items for InkFinger's Blind Contour Friday challenge.
This is about as "fresh" as it gets, eating a freshly opened container of Sun Maid raisins! I remember when my Mom would pack those tiny boxes of raisins in my lunch. The packages were so small and cute and you just hated to eat the last raisin. Well, now they come in great big containers so enjoy to your hearts content!

Hey Maggie, you have a really nice blog. Love the breakfast post for IL...neat.
I really like the style of this. Give me a neo-cubist breakfast anyday!
I love the style.
The blind countour gives this such lively feeling...the colors are wonderful...you carry the reds throughout so the eye moves around the whole composition. I love the lavendar background, and I love...the raisins! Oh, how i know exactly what you mean! Even those large round containers don't last long:>
Oh, I love this, and the use of colour really adds to it. Very nice indeed.
Heh heh, i drew sunmaid raisins last week..but mine were not fresh!!
Um, whoops, me again..i screwed up my link. Sorry. Go here if you want to see my dubious raisins! http://www.livejournal.com/users/tingmoo/
This is great and I'm feeling so blind contour challenged. And you did a two for one - perfect!
This is so great. Awesome type on the can and I love the sunmaid raisins girl. The color you added is so bold and "fresh."
It's amazing what color can do at bringing these BCDs together. Wonderful lines
Lovely illu - I just love the cup and the way you coloured it too ...
nice bc! the color really makes it pop!
The choice of using red for the linework makes it very interesting! I love how it came out over-all. and way to get it to work for both IF and BCF! Smart!
Love the color and subject matter!
Hi Maggie,
Falas português? que engraçado....
Kikazinha,
Não, contudo tento. Tenho um elo português de Tradutor em meu blog que eu uso para traduzir texto para mim. Meu pai das crianças é português então meu interesse é genuíno e tento de ensinar me tanto como posso.
Great stuff Maggie. I love the colours and the fact that your blind contour drawing LOOKS like a drawing! You can get the sunmaid lady on a t-shirt here
Why thank you all, for such great comments. This really gives my week a boost!
I LOVE this!! So colorful, so energizing--really great approach to the subject and the method of drawing. Btw, I have wanted many times to leave comments on your blog but it takes FOREVER to download and I'm not sure why. Today I forced myself to wait so I could finally tell you how much I like your work ;D.
Laura,
I checked with several people who regularly visit my blog and most have responded that it loads quite quickly for them and that they don't have any problems. I try to keep my files small in size and at 72 resolution so that they load faster. It may be Blogger that is slow in loading or it could be your connection. In any event, I am very happy to hear that you took the time to wait until the page loaded to leave a response, thank you, thank you!
