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.
Sketching from Prompts
…and another flower
Three years ago my daughter bought me a book of 500 art prompts. The first couple of weeks I was pretty good at sketching the prompts but for some reason I was hung up on the next prompt in the book and put it aside. For some reason I have a need to do the prompts in order and not skip any. I should have kept the book in plain sight but I put it back into my book shelf and forgot about it. Today I did the next two prompts and will keep the book next to my pens.

….I love taking macro shots and being at the cottage affords me all kinds of opportunities to find interesting subjects
Dusted With Pollen
This time of year the flowers are bursting with pollen and the bees and wasps are hungrily gorging on nectar before winter sets in.

Day 5 – Close-up
…thanks to Becky B for hosting Square Perspective Challenge
Becky and I have chosen similar themes today; different perspectives of flowers but mine is a little simpler….. from a few feet back to a close-up of one bloom.
Day 1 – Square Perspectives
…thanks to Becky B for hosting this month’s daily Square Perspectives
My first entry for this month’s challenge is a photo of a dahlia taken from the side. It highlights the beauty of this flower even on back side. 
Friendly Friday Photo Challenge – Reimagine Orange
…thanks to Sandy from the Sandy Chronicles for hosting this week’s Friendly Friday Photo Challenge
I could look for ‘orange’ items or re-image some older photos to take on an orange hue. All these photos were orange to begin with with one exception. Can you guess which one was altered? They were all edited somewhat but one changed colour completely.
