Another ‘Scary’ Monster
….oh no, are they too scary again?
Monday’s Monster Monday generated this response from our granddaughter, “That’s a scary monster.” A few weeks ago she didn’t want to look at the Monday drawings because she knew they were monsters and monsters are scary. We’ll see how she responds to next week’s drawing.
A Bad ‘Hare’ Day
….welcome to Rabbit Sunday
This is the first rabbit for Winnie’s first Rabbit Sunday. When Winnie saw this she asked her mom why the rabbit was having a bad hair day.
Fishy Friday is Back
….”it’s a duck, Mom”
Not sure where my granddaughter sees a duck but she is at the age where she likes to be contrary.
A New Bird for Winnie
….a little under the weather so my husband missed a few drawing days
Today’s drawing would have been good for Weird Bird Wednesday but it was posted today. Winnie’s only comment today was that Sundays should be Sunday Rabbits. Kevin’s working on that.
What a Difference a Little Colour and Collage Can Make
….took another page of one-line drawings and added some interest
I love going back through my sketchbook and finding pages that I feel need more work. This is a page of one-line houses that I drew last year.
I purchased some new Tombow paint pens and pulled out my Artist Loft markers and added some colour to this piece. Then I added some collage for more interest. I’m much happier with this updated piece of art.

An Abstract Valentine Collage
…from a one-line drawing of shoes
In one of my sketchbooks I have some pages of drawing that I’m not particularly fond of and over time I’ve gone back to them and added colour and some line detail. This time I added bits and pieces of printed transparency in a random fashion over one of the one-liner drawings I did of shoes. After I glued all my pieces down I added some line detail using a white paint pen and some fine black markers. Here is the original drawing.
A couple of hours later it was transformed into this:

All these photos were taken in London, England: a sculpture from the Whitechapel Gallery, the iron gate at the Natural History Museum, the tower from the Imperial College of London, a plane at the Science Museum, an outdoor sculpture and a dress from the Design Museum, a guitar from Canada House in Trafalgar Square, a statue in the V&A and the gate at Holland Park.
