…..day 61
I’ve started trying to create my own Seuss-like characters and started with trying to create a little girl around my granddaughter’s age. My husband thinks our granddaughter is too photogenic to be made into a cartoon figure. I have an idea of creating a scene where the little girl is holding a gigantic Easter egg while a giant rabbit looks down on her. Here are the first three sketches of the little girl.
…..I love red doors
Thanks to Norm for hosting Thursday Doors. I haven’t participated in awhile. It seems like I haven’t been anywhere exciting or interesting enough to take photos of doors lately. Walking home from the library the other day I started to notice some beautiful red doors in the neighbourhood and I had recently taken a photo of a red door in my daughter’s neck of the woods.
With that in mind I decided to focus on the colour of doors and with that in mind I could have a different theme each week for quite some time. So that said here are my first photos of RED doors.
…this will be the last of my Dr. Seuss characters
After today I think I’m ready to create my own Dr. Seuss like character. Not sure what it will look like but I have a better appreciation of what a Seuss like character should look like.

It’s amazing how a medallion like this can dress up the dreariest of fences. It certainly caught my eye as I was walking home from the library. 
…..this week’s photo challenge asks us to post our favourite Sunrise and/or Sunset photos
….more examples of Dr. Seuss characters
Dr. Seuss often employed long eyelashes with his characters and loved exaggerated features like the feathers on the head of this bird and the long intertwining legs.
…..planning on creating a Dr. Seuss like character
For one of my year long assignments with Carla Sonheim I’m suppose to come up with my own Dr. Seuss like character. I decided to study some of Dr. Seuss’ illustrations and see what common characteristics they have. One is the u shape inside the large oval eyes that he uses for most of his characters. The mouth line is just a simple curve ending with a curved cheek line. Here are two practice drawings that I copied from his book What Pet Should I Get?
Just bought myself a bunch of these beautiful flowers.
….do you find you have more lids than containers or vice versa?
Thanks to Becky B for hosting March Square. We’re getting close to the end.
