Dashboard view

I'm trying to get back in the habit of sketching every day so today I sketched what was right in front of me as I ate my lunch in my car.  I hate eating inside my workplace because I get interrupted too many times for it to be a relaxing time AWAY from work.

My little collection on my dashboard includes a yellow plastic smiley man that I've had for about 7 years...he's holding a pair of earrings on his arm (because I keep forgetting to bring them inside) and there is a little plastic monkey sticking out his tongue that makes me smile.  I bought it in one of the gumball machine things.  My sunglasses complete the space....did you notice that I'm reflected in my glasses?  

Then I decided to sketch the little doohicky thing hanging from my mirror.  I had gone to a Chinese restaurant with my father-in-law on my birthday a couple years back and he insisted on making sure all the wait staff knew it was my birthday.  Our waitress came back with this little beaded hanging thing so this is where I put it. 

When I wrote in my art journal I was feeling a wee bit grumpy from having a bad morning at work.  After lunch things were much better.  I hate being gone for a week and coming back to chaos.
