Gloria J Zucaro's "Fanz"


I was visiting my Mom this past week, so haven't done much artwork, but did look at Laura Harm's site, "I Am the Diva" to see what the Zentangle of the week, April 6-12 would be. It is called "Fanz" and was originated by Susan Goetter. I didn't have any supplies with me,so squared off an index card and used a ball point pen with a mechanical pencil for shading.


Now for some very good news!  After Mom's CAT scan on April 2, she saw her primary and pulmonary doctors.  Both reported that it appeared that the 10 mm lesion on her lung had now shrunk to 8 mm!  The diagnosis...no stage 4 cancer.  Just Kidney cancer that has not spread yet and because of her age(93 yrs.) and the slowness of kidney cancer, nothing much happening!  Yea!

Below are a couple of pictures of my very messy art studio!


A little pastel floral I did a while ago and never posted.  
I was trying to "be loose"! 


I am posting this to the Diva's site and to Paint Party Friday.

Have a good week.

Gloria

  1. Just goes to show you can do something lovely even without all the latest art supplies. Of course that doesn't mean I won't be buying some lovely new pens some time soon....

    1. Oh, thank you. Congrats on your fifth year, too. I always enjoy your words of wisdom. This year I am going to an international pastel convention in June, so am going to start doing more in that medium to get ready for workshops there.

  5. Very nice! I'd love to get my pastels out again sometime. I came over for the zentangle challenge---way to go using what you have to make something lovely.
