Monster Monday – Happy Family Day
…here in Ontario we’re celebrating Family Day on Monday, February 15th
Kevin’s monster family is a friendly reminder to continue wearing your masks. Vaccines won’t be resumed for a couple more weeks. Hang in there. We can all get through this if we stay vigilent.
My “Hoppy” Valentine’s Gift
….once Kevin is inspired to draw or paint something he can’t seem to stop
I love Kevin’s new challenge starting this week, Funky Frog Friday. When he knew how much I love his frogs he surprised me with my own special Valentine frog. He also surprised me with a special Valentine’s Day dinner that was delivered to the door.
A Heads Up
….coming soon a new Friday Art Challenge
When one of Kevin’s granddaughters comes up with a new idea for another art challenge he just can’t say no. So when he was asked to consider a challenge called Funky Frog Friday he was all over it. Here’s a sneak preview of what we can expect over the next few weeks or even months on Fridays.
While Playing With Water
…..I made another painting
In yesterday’s post for Water, Water Everywhere I literally played with water to come up with some photos for the challenge. In doing so I laid down some watercolour on paper and overlapped it with other colours and water to make it run together. When I was done I took the paper that I was laying colour and water onto and decided to add more colour and marks with ink, pencil and paint. Here is what I came up with.
From this……
….to this.
Water, Water Everywhere – #63
….thanks to Jez for hosting Water, Water Everywhere https://jezbraithwaite.blog/2021/02/08/bridges-fan-of-96-and-water-water-everywhere-63/
Drips, drops and blobs of coloured water. When you don’t get outside you need to come up with some inventive water pictures. I always have water on my art table and I started playing with the water, brushes and paints.
This eventually became a painting. I’ll put it in my next post.

….more macro shots from inside the house
The last two are close-ups of two different paintings that I made many years ago.
Monster Monday – Two for One
….again my husband has gone ahead and created two monsters this week
One Liner Portraits Plus
…over the years I’ve played with one-liner portraits with limited success
One liner portraits literally involves drawing a face without lifting the pen off the paper. After doing that I added detail with paint and more mark making. These were a lot of fun to do and are somewhat similar to Picasso’s abstract portraits that made him famous.
