I created this pen and ink drawing last week to commemorate the Great American Eclipse. I happen to live in the line of totality--the eclipse will start around nine, with total darkness at 10:18 Monday morning--an amazing event which will not happen here again in my lifetime. I only wish my Beloved were here to view it with me.
My town will be celebrate all weekend in anticipation of Monday's once in a lifetime event. There will be an influx of up to 500,000 people in our area over the next few days. I can't even imagine what the traffic will be like. I have special glasses one must wear to keep from being blinded. There is a family camping out in my back yard and there will be quite a party going on downtown.
I am looking forward to this wonderful eclipse. In the meantime dear friends, have a GREAT weekend. Stay safe and Happy Paint Party Friday!

Oh that's gorgeous! I neglected to get glasses and am so sad... I'm hoping I still might find some, but so far no...
such a beautiful illustration Beth! The eclipse is expected to happen in my area between 2 and 3 PM and I am hoping to catch it too:) Happy PPF!
How exciting for you, Beth, to be in the line of total eclipse. I think it is supposed to be 85-90% here. I plan to watch only on TV since I already had macular problems and I don't want to risk my eyesight, even with the glasses.
Your drawing is so beautiful and is a wonderful representation of such a unique event.
Beautiful illustration!! Well done! Enjoy the party!

I took pictures of it on the sidewalk thru the leaves. Quite interesting, but we only had 96 percent. The illustration is amazing. Blessings, Janet
