When nursery rhymes substitute…
It was late on a rainy night when I sat down To do the sketch, and there was nothing cracked or broken in sight. So I started making a list of all the ways the word cracked is used in our language. I decided on “step on a crack and break your mother’s back.” I remembered all the times of walking to school and avoiding the cracks or…

When thinking of a cracked surface I immediately focused on eggs, the Humpty Dumpty rhyme came to mind. But now, thanks to you, I’ll be walking with my head down to avoid cracks in the sidewalk…LOL!!

Going back to Valerie’s post about sharing. I have great hope that this process can also be about creating a community where we can share our progress as well as our struggles. Thanks for opening that door.
i joined this group because I felt so stale. The daily drawings give me a place to explore my whimsical and slightly warped humor in images…

Catch up Day
I’ve been busy the last few days so did a few drawings today to catch up. I’m missing a few because a rock and an object with a cracked surface, just haven’t been within reach when I am drawing. The drawing with different spouts I just haven’t photographed yet. However, it was interesting to post this teapot. I am working on next to the…

Thanks Melissa,
I have a whole series of whimsical teapot watercolor I did when I had a shoulder injury and couldn’t do anything clay. I’ve decided to make them as part of my summer production. I’ll have to add the hedgehog teapot to the rotation.

This exercise woke me up just a little further from my creative slumber. I have always had a fascination with world mythology and I can see incorporating elements from ancient cultures into my existing pantheon of profiles as well

So glad I decided to join this group.😊

I found this prompt challenging because I kept seeing all the kindergarten Thanksgiving turkeys I made and ones that I see in every elementary school in the fall.

This was really interesting. Couldn’t Quite see a three dimensional object in the shadow that I Until I made a mirror image of it and put the two together. Then it began to remind me of angel- Not the sweet cartoon version of angels, but the kind of angel that comes swooping down with huge wings, perhaps creating a fire storm as it enters the…

What a fun exercise! I haven’t played with negative Space in quite a while, and it was fun See that it took me to my original question, when is a vessel not a vessel? In this case, when is a teapot not a teapot – When it becomes a birdbath. I made a sort of flip book starting with the original drawing, and then using tracing paper to reduce…
