It’s interesting to me how much texture you can see when you zoom in on objects especially in nature.

…our almost one year old granddaughter gave us a huge smile when she saw this drawing over the phone

I could never get this close to any bird in the wild but these two birds were captured inside a snow globe and a Christmas ornament.

A Hot Mess
….and back to drawing flowers
I’ve just started another year long course with Carla Sonheim. Lesson one started on Friday.
The first lesson is to draw a series of made up characters that represent a fictional family. We were to use a variety of media and techniques but the most important part was to have fun. I don’t know why but I wasn’t having fun and at one point I really wasn’t happy and I added water to my painting. I made quite the mess but I decided to let it dry and make something out of it with more marks and layers. Like I said it’s a bit of a hot mess but I don’t want to give up so I created a smaller piece with fewer characters. I’ll try a larger family later.
I’ve also gone back to my floral drawings. Today I drew a peony.
Sunday Trees – Paused

Trees in the distance. Becca is taking a pause from posting a photo this week. I hope all is well. I don’t think she’s ever taken a break in over 8 years.

Our PUPs for January Squares
…thanks to Becky B for hosting January Squares https://beckybofwinchester.com/2021/01/10/square-up-10/
In our extended family we have three special pUPs. You’ve seen all of them at one time or another on my blog. Recently I posted a photo of Olive jumping up on the beach and I explained to some of you that Olive needed surgery. Well here she is back from the vet hospital. She ruptured a disc in her neck and after the surgery her prognosis is good. No jumping or running for awhile. That will be hard for this little girl.
The other two dogs are Frances who is 14 and Lucy who is 12 1/2. Their days consist of sleeping, sleeping, sleeping and eating and then sleeping some more.
Lost #4
….still finding masks but more winter accessories are showing up
Not so sure that this last one was lost because when came by later a couple of kids were playing with it.
Sculpture Saturday – January 9, 2021
…not sure if Ruined for Life is still hosting Sculpture Saturday but if he is, thanks https://smkelly8.com/2020/11/07/sculpture-saturday-43/
On a recent walk to Humber College my husband and I came across this amazing bronze sculpture. What was almost more interesting was the artist’s statement about this larger than life size piece. Please take a moment to read the significance of the man’s stance and how the artist saw people interpreting it in different ways.
