Week 3 of 2017
So I was still down with the cold for the first few days of the week, and worked from home as much as I could, for my own comfort as well as my coworkers... This means that not a lot got done until around Thursday, lol.
Still managed two workouts, and beneath the cut is this week's sketchbook painting, inspired by heartofoshun's suggestion of doing a retelling of "Princess and the Pea". It's not exactly a retelling, but more a continuation I suppose. :D
The fairytale ends like this: "As for the pea, they put it in the museum. There it's still to be seen, unless somebody has taken it." And I just thought, what are the odds that a princess-divining pea would be safe in a museum?? ;)

Closer-ups of both pages:
