An Explosion of Wacky Birds

….not literally

This week it’s been so hot that my husband didn’t think he could come up with a wacky bird. He decided to do a very quick sketch and apply watercolour without too much detail. When he finished the first painting he was so pleased with how quickly it came together and he decided to make another one. He ended up making four wacky birds in total and quickly realized that his inner Quentin Blake had been summoned. If you’re a fan of Roald Dahl books you’ll know what I mean.

Catching Up With Tonguely, Wacky Bird and Sloth

When I go to the cottage for a few days I seem to struggle getting my posts out and then when I come home I have so many emails to read that I fall even further behind. So I’m posting the last three paintings that Kevin did for Wacky Bird Wednesday, TGIFFF (Tonguely) and Sloth Saturday all in one post.

Playing around on his tablet – I think Kevin’s getting better. I thought he had hand painted this one.

Tonguely wants all of us to stay cool during this heat wave.

Sloth doesn’t seem to mind the heat at all.

Friday the 13th – Tonguely Visits Port Dover

….every Friday 13th thousands of bikers descend on Port Dover, ON

Despite the pandemic 35 000 bikers still made their way to Port Dover. This number is down from the normal 100 000. https://kitchener.ctvnews.ca/35k-motorcyclists-flock-to-port-dover-for-friday-the-13th-1.5545921

Tonguely decided to join the bikers this year and bring along his three knucklehead nephews. No idea where he got the bike from.

For those of you who were wondering about the flowered running shorts that Tonguely was seen with last week here is the photo that inspired him:

Wacky Bird Wednesday – August 11, 2021

putting the wacky back in Wacky Bird Wednesday

Last week was a bad week for the internet and my computer here at home. I thought I was going to have to take my computer in for service because it took forever to upload photos to my posts. As a result a lot of my regular posts didn’t happen at all and I’ve been making up for it this week. For whatever reason everything seems to be working again.

This week I have two wacky birds to share.

When Kevin started drawing last week’s Tonguely he had no idea where he was going with these flowered shorts and then he remembered that he owned a pair of racing shorts very similar to these.

….another Wacky Bird Wednesday

Seriously that’s his name. Our avian hump day friend is an early riser. It takes him a while to get that hair just right. Doesn’t Winnie come up with the best names?
