Friendly Friday – Dreamy
….thanks to Snow for hosting Friendly Friday this week
The task is to post at least one photo that depicts the concept of ‘dreamy’. For me, right now in the middle of winter here in Toronto, dreamy images are ones of warm waters, sandy beaches and sunshine. Let me take you back to summers at the cottage.
A Photo a Week Challenge – Black and White
…thanks to Nancy Merrill for hosting the A Photo a Week Challenge
This week’s topic is very broad and open ended. The trick was finding photos that translate well into a black and white format. I actually liked the following photos better in black and white.
New Flower (February 22, 2019) – White Poinsettia
….did you know that the poinsettia is actually a tree
I’m looking after my neighbour’s plants while she’s away. Two of them are white poinsettias and they don’t look very healthy. According to Becky B over at Life with B this is very normal in Feb/March when they normally lose all their leaves before summer. The individual flowers on one of the plants still look quite pretty.
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.
New Flower (February21, 2019) -Pink and White Orchid
…Mary your orchid is blooming beautifully
Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge – Isolated Objects
…thanks to Cee of this very interesting topic for her Black and White Photo Challenge
Snow Angel
…I’m glad that someone is getting joy out of this crazy weather
Actually seeing this angel brought me joy and it brought back memories of me as a kid doing the same thing in freshly fallen snow. I saw the children who had probably made the angels with their parents when I was walking through the park to catch more ice designs with my camera. It was a bit treacherous because beneath the snow was slick ice. I had visions of falling and sliding down the banks into Lake Ontario. I saw another photographer out looking for interesting shots and he was walking very gingerly over the ice as well.
We had lots of rain last night. Could this be the end of winter? I doubt it but we’re getting closer and closer to spring.
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.
