Boogie Board Drawing #4

A friend sent me an email, asking me what prompted my interest in using the Boogie Board tablet to make drawings.

Well, I love to draw and have been wanting to do some drawing for awhile, just to loosen up and indulge in creative "play." However, while preparing for the April show in Albuquerque, I had neither the time nor space to do so, and lacked enthusiasm for "traditional" methods and materials.

A few weeks ago I came across an electronic writing/drawing tablet called a Boogie Board on eBay, and bid on it. Since its arrival, I've been doing a drawing a day, enjoying the process immensely, and excited about the possibilities.

I also like that the Boogie Board Tablet is a "green" alternative to paper. After finishing the drawing, you just press the erase button to clear the image, which brings up a new blank "page" (screen). The Boogie Board will erase 50,000 times, so it replaces quite a few traditional paper sketchpads!

The Boogie Board Tablet comes in colors (bright pretty ones) and retails for about $40. I bought mine on eBay for $29 and a few dollars for shipping. Of course, you can purchase one on Amazon, too.

Thanks for taking a look. Have a great day!

Rainy Day in Florida

Garden Varieties #2 • Original Drawing, Boogie Board Tablet

After a rainy weekend, it rained again, all day, here in Florida today. I wish I could send some of this moisture to my friends out west in New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah. They could use some relief from the fires.

Meanwhile, back in Orlando, it was a good day for reading and doing another Boogie Board drawing. So that's just what I did.

Thanks for taking a look. Have a great day.

Boogie Board Drawing

Garden Varieties #1 • Original Drawing, Boogie Board Tablet

Hello, Dear Readers,

No, I haven't abandoned my blog...just took a little vacation from the studio and painting over the past several weeks.

I did acquire a new "toy" called a Boogie Board tablet. It's pretty cool and loads of fun to work on. The picture on today's post is my first Boogie Board drawing. I can see all kinds of possibilities.

Instead of a lengthy explanation from me, here's a link to more information about the Boogie Board tablet, designed by Kent Displays and distributed by iMPROV Electronics:
