Thursday Art Date: In Like A Lamb, Out Like A Lion

Hello Friends! 😊😊

Welcome to Thursday's Art Date, today our theme is based on March's weather lore: In Like A Lamb, Out Like A Lion. I'm hoping that March will go out like a LAMB!!! It sure came in like a LION!! Actually we still have a lot of snow and my logical side knows it ain't over yet!

To represent the lamb part of our theme, I drew a Looney Tunes scene based on the short "Steal Wool" from 1957. (Click on the link to watch the short!) Sam Sheep Dog and Ralph Wolf are always at odds during their work day. Sam guards the sheep/lamb while Ralph tries to steal them.

Ralph looks suspiciously like Wile E. Coyote, but according to Mel Blanc's book, the two differences are their accents and the colour of their noses! Ralph Wolf has a blue-collar accent with a red nose; Wile E. Coyote has a proper upper-class accent with a black nose.

Check out my Lion Fish, done with Prismacolor pencils. What fun this was!!! At first I turned my head at this course, it seemed way too difficult, but once I got started, I really enjoyed it! You can see the texture of the paper through the dark blue, which I'm not crazy about. Next time I'll use the smoother side of the paper to help the colours blend better.

Here is a little video of Charlie, she has spring fever, she's about to start her heat and she's shedding. I've had lots of different breeds of dogs throughout my life but my gosh, the amount of fur that the huskies shed is unreal, I could build another dog with what she's shed so far...it's a hairy situation! 😲

Thursday Art Date: Light and Dark

Hi Everyone! 😊😊

Welcome to Thursday's Art Date, today our theme is Light and Dark. I decided to go with a good and evil spin for this week's theme. I love the Jeckyll and Hyde story, and the Looney Tunes did it several times. This is a scene from "Hyde and Hare" where Bugs is adopted by a lonely old man who happens to be Dr. Jeckyll! Here is the video link, I can't find where to embed it on Daily Motion!

I finished my aging face coloured pencil drawing. This was a nice class, I learned a lot about colour theory and layering!

Alex and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary last week! We had a Smoked Cheddar Fondue with Homemade Bread. And we opened up a bottle of bubbly that we've had since 2013! We were celebrating buying our home too.

That's all for now folks! But please check out the link widget below to see more Light and Dark artwork!

Thursday Art Date: Luck

Hello Friends! 😊

Welcome to Thursday's Art Date, today our theme is Luck. Did you know that it's good luck when a bird poops on your head? That has actually happened to me lol...and poor Sylvester...Tweety Bird is so sneaky tricking him like that! But at least it'll bring him some luck! 😀

Here is the progress on my aging face drawing. Last week I finished the nose and cheeks. This morning I think it's going to be the mustache and maybe the mouth; then the finishing touches. It's been a great class to take! It may be my last class for a few months!

My weekly posts are going to be short and sweet for the next few months and I may have to do a few pre-scheduled ones. I'm kind of overwhelmed at the amount of work that's involved in the home buying process. I think my least favourite task to date was sitting through home insurance quotes from 7 different companies...but I found the best rate and at least that's done! Moving to a different province is also proving to be tricky and time consuming in the planning stage. Wish me continued luck my friends! 😊

This is a photo of the "Sun Room" which will become my studio. Look at that beautiful view! 😊😊😊 That'll be all for now folks! But please check out the link widget below to see more Luck artwork!

I took this photo in 2010 when I lived on Prince Edward Island. It was December by the ocean - oh that cold ocean wind!!! It went right into your bones! But those skies...the beautiful sunsets lit up the darkening skies with such magnificence!

Thursday Art Date: 👀 What Do You See? 👀

Hello Friends! 😊😊

Welcome to Thursday's Art Date, today our theme is What Do You See? Bugs Bunny is seeing his dream come true with a giant carrot garden right before his very eyes!

I started a coloured pencil course two weeks ago. The subject is an aging face with lots of wrinkles. I thought I'd give you an update on my progress since it fits well with this theme! I'm really loving the coloured pencils and learning a lot. For the Bugs drawing, you can see that I just basically used the pencils to colour things in. In this drawing, I used lots of light layers, shading and colour combinations to create a realistic looking face. I wish these courses were more than once a week!

We got BOMBARDED with snow last week...all I can see is a white world out there. I'm so tired of it, I can't wait for spring!

Who did I see coming in from shoveling the driveway? Baby Oscar in the window looking very focused!

My laptop crashed and I have to post via my phone. I don't enjoy smart phones at all...they give me a case of the horribles...😬To make me feel better, Alex made me a yummy dinner of grilled cheese with fries.

It looks like we have about 2 months before our move...we have so much to do! It's very exciting!! It's going to go by so fast!!!

I'm also linking up with Paint Party Friday tomorrow!

Well, that's all for now folks! Please check out the link widget below to see more What Do You See? artwork!

It was great luck that I saw the realtor listing of our new home when I did! We got an offer in quick as others started to pop up! Note: Earlier, I had a photo of the actual house here on the blog, but it kept disappearing so I finally just took it down. Here's another one that shows a view of the backyard that our agent took just last week!
