🎨😋 Thursday Art and Dinner Date: Grayscale

 

Welcome my Friends, to Thursday's Art and Dinner Date! 😊😊

🎨For our 🎨 Art Date 🎨, today's optional prompt is Grayscale! Please feel free to share any art you've created, we would love to see it!  This is one of the original versions of Porky The Pig from 1936-1939 that I drew with ink and graphite. The cartoon shorts were black and white so he fits in quite well with my prompt this week! 

Isn't it interesting how these cartoon characters evolve over the years?

⬆️⬆️ Well, here is my private road, which I dub my half a kilometer driveway. I don't have county services so I have to clear it myself. We've had some big snow storms lately and this is my snow blower handiwork after a storm last week. We are getting a lot of snow this week, but spring snow is melty snow, so I might wait it out instead of doing the snow removal!

⬆️⬆️ Jack's energy is declining...he had a very worrisome nose bleed over the weekend that lasted nearly 24 hours. It's from the cold dry air...but he's always the clown for me. Here's a video of him chewing on his ears and scratching his butt up against the wall lol!

⬆️⬆️ 😋For our 😋 Dinner Date 😋, I'm all Irished out! I made Irish Coffee and Shamrock Sugar Cookies!

On the video front:

⬆️⬆️ For Rain Frances Art, I'm sharing a quick video where I paint Abstract Flowers with acrylic paints.

⬆️⬆️ For Rain Frances Art For Kids, I have How To Draw A Mushroom House!

⬆️⬆️ For Rain's Kitchen and Garden, I'm sharing How To Make Irish Coffee!

🎨😋 Thursday Art and Dinner Date: Cool Colours (Blues, Purples, Greens)

 

Welcome my Friends, to Thursday's Art and Dinner Date! 😊😊

🎨For our 🎨 Art Date 🎨, today's optional prompt is Cool Colours (Blues, Purples, Greens)! Please feel free to share any art you've created, we would love to see it! Daffy Duck is living a frugal life and crushing his own grapes for his wine! Lucky Duck! 😁

⬆️⬆️ Erika asked about the dog boots last week. These are the ones I buy Erika! They remind me of balloons a little bit. They are the best little boots I've ever had for my dogs because yes, they STAY ON. Jack is used to them but Raven tries to shake them off....futile lol. They are easily washable and I'd say I only have to replace the entire pack once every few years when their nails go through them. I rub them with baby powder because they tend to get all sticky and it's hard to put them on the dog's paws otherwise. I buy them at Pet Smart in Canada and a 12-pack of the large boots cost me $27. 

⬆️⬆️ When my Marlene was still alive and had trouble walking, these were great because they kept her from slipping on the wood/tile floors too.

⬆️⬆️ I wanted to show you this gorgeous crystal point that a friend gave me. It's a green Fluorite healing crystal. I just adore it!

⬆️⬆️ 😋For our 😋 Dinner Date 😋, I made a delicious goat cheese pizza! Yum!

⬆️⬆️ For anyone interested, I'm doing a little self-promotion! Every day on my YouTube channel Spiritual Rain, I do a daily card reading. The video above is a sample of what I have to offer!

More on the video front:

⬆️⬆️ For Rain Frances Art, I'm sharing my Watercolor Tulips video!

🎨😋 Thursday Art and Dinner Date: Warm Colours (Reds, Oranges, Yellows)

 

Welcome my Friends, to Thursday's Art and Dinner Date! 😊😊

🎨For our 🎨 Art Date 🎨, today's optional prompt is Warm Colours (Reds, Oranges and Yellows)! Please feel free to share any art you've created, we would love to see it!  Ain't that the life for Bugs Bunny? Snoozing on the hammock on a warm afternoon - I can't wait for the warmer weather!

I painted some warm watercolour tulips for the prompt this week!

😋For our 😋 Dinner Date 😋, I made some Italian breadsticks, they're called Grissini. VERY nice! I'll have the video and recipe up on next week's blog post!

A while back I mentioned that I was experimenting with vegan food. I made some Vegan Cheese - it tastes like a combination of Cheez Whiz and maybe what you'd find as a chip dip in the chip aisle of the grocery store. One of the ingredients in the vegan cheese is a Vegan "Chicken" Seasoning. It tastes just like non-vegan chicken seasoning! I think I figured out why...it's the onion powder. That gives it the Lipton Chicken Noodle Soup flavour! ☺ I still prefer milk-cheeses though!

Here are Raven and Jack on a very cold winter morning! It was so cold they had to wear their little booties! They were sitting and admiring the birds at the feeder! Jack is doing a lot better Friends, thanks so much for last week's comments!

🎨😋 Thursday Art and Dinner Date: Foodie February - Drinks!

 

Welcome my Friends, to Thursday's Art and Dinner Date! 😊😊

🎨For our 🎨 Art Date 🎨, today's optional prompt is Drinks! Please feel free to share any art you've created, we would love to see it! Tweety Bird has his hands full at the coffee house with his café latté! Btw...March's prompts are all about COLOUR!!! Check out the bottom of the post for the March prompts!!!

⬆️⬆️ I did another watercolor study this week, this time of a glass of sangria. I would have liked it to be a bit darker, but I love how the ice cubes, lime and orange turned out! The video will be up on Rain Frances Art's YouTube Channel next blog post! 

⬆️⬆️ I also did a painting of water droplets.

😋For our 😋 Dinner Date 😋, I made more Chocolate Chip Cookies!

⬆️⬆️ I also tried a nice Zinfandel. I love the taste of Zinfandel wine. This wine has a smooth palate and a mild smoky finish. I paired it with a cheese plate! For those who don't know, the Zinfandel grape was exported from the Puglia region of Italy to California. The Italians call this grape Primitivo. The Primitivo grape was brought to Italy from the Croatians, and I can't spell or pronounce what they called the grape! I love Puglia wines too! This is a Rain Recommendation! 😍

⬆️⬆️ Prayers and well wish are WELCOME friends! My 17-year old Jack is slowing down, sigh. He's been sleeping a lot, moving slower and now has developed droopy eyes. He had a sinus infection that lasted 3 weeks...he's still a bit sniffly. I'm hoping it doesn't get worse again. He's my little angel and I know a lot of you have a tender spot in your heart for him! ♥

⬆️⬆️ I'm continuing my art classes and I love them, mainly watercolour lessons. Here is a watercolour carrot study!

⬆️⬆️ Just over one year ago, we lost our husky girl Charlie. I've been wanting to make a Tribute Video for my dogs for a long time now, and I figured the time has come! 🐶💖 (It's mostly about the dogs, but I did mention the cats in there too!)

😋For our 😋 Dinner Date 😋, I made a fun meal! I took tortillas and smooshed them into little baking tins and baked them for 10 minutes at 350 F and they turned into little burrito bowls! I made vegan cheese - the orange stuff, (I will be sharing this recipe soon, it's fantastic); and added a bean/salsa mix and some fresh lettuce on top. 

⬆️⬆️ I made my Overnight No Knead White Bread this week. This is SO easy my friends!
