Olive loves to jump. How do you discourage that behaviour after one (Olive) slips a disc. The pain meds and muscle relaxants have slowed her down somewhat but I think this jumping thing is in the Frenchie DNA.
….it was actually very grey today but a sunny day for my art
Sunflowers are one of my favourite flowers and I really enjoyed sketching it yesterday. Today I decided to draw another one but add some collage and colour. I started with the pieces of text collage and then I sketched the flower over it. I added the colour with Tombow markers and at the end I glued down the hummingbird that I had in my collage paper pile.
I had a very productive evening and also painted another floral abstract on watercolour paper but I think I’ll save that for tomorrow in case I don’t get to my art table.
…as an artist I’ve alway been drawn to textures
Textures found in nature are always so interesting to me. Here are a few that I came across on my walks.

On our daily walk today it was a bit drizzly but mild. Most of the snow has melted leaving lots of icy patches and puddles. Not only were we surrounded by the waters of Lake Ontario but we had to step carefully around and over these wet patches on the path.
….day 5 of Becky B’s January Square Challenge….SquareUP https://beckybofwinchester.com/2021/01/05/square-up-5/
On this particular day I chose not to climb UP these stairs.

…happy New Year everyone…I hope you continue to take macro shots
I love taking macro shots and even with the change in weather I’m finding all kinds of subjects for macro photography. Hope some of you will share some of your macro shots with the world.
….for those who are keeping track of my doodling adventures
Late last night on the third day of January I cracked open my book or prompts and the next in line was ‘a mermaid’. I searched for an image that I thought I might be able to draw. I found one that was clearly a mermaid but didn’t have too many details to bog me down. Here is my attempt to draw a mermaid.
