Free time drawings :)

Two pieces of art I did in art class when i didn't have anything else to do. The first was just experimenting with ink, the second was with pencil. Both were from random magazines and I have no idea who they are. Oh well haha.

First finished art project from class

Still life project.. First time using chalk, trying to get the shades of things right.

Austen Quotes

     So if you didn't know by my previous posts, I love Jane Austen books :) Some random favorite quotes:

From Emma: 

Mr Knightley: Emma, you didn't ask me to contribute a riddle.
Emma Woodhouse: Your entire personality is a riddle, Mr. Knightley. I thought you overqualified.

From Pride and Prejudice: 

Mr. Darcy: Do you talk, as a rule, while dancing?
Elizabeth Bennet: No...No, I prefer to be unsociable and taciturn... Makes it all so much more enjoyable, don't you think?

~

Elizabeth Bennet: If he cannot percieve her regard, he is a fool.
Charlotte Lucas: We are all fools in love.

From Sense and Sensibility: 

Elinor Dashwood: I do not attempt to deny that I think very highly of him - that I greatly esteem him... I like him.
Marianne: Esteem him? Like him? Use those insipid words again and I shall leave the room this instant.

So yeah, random quotes. The best part of reading is probably identifying with the characters. Being able to live in someone else's shoes for a little while, too.  I probably read for 1/3rd of my waking hours when I was home schooled. I'm pretty busy with high school and track now, but it's nice to find time to read a good book every once in a while!
