Cee’s Which Way Photo Challenge – March 23, 2018
….I know I’m a bit late on this one but today seemed a good day to post photos from last week
Thanks to Cee for hosting the Which Way Photo Challenge. It’s been dreary and wet all day today and what a better time to post my sunny photos from last week when my husband, daughter and I took Olive for a walk to High Park. We walked along Bloor Street, past fruit markets, through tunnels and down a descending sidewalk towards the park entrance.
Once in the park we headed towards the off leash area where we could let Olive run free. She loved it. I love the off leash area in High Park because it is made up of fenced in trails and if you’re a walker it’s a great way to get in some steps and fresh air.
It was a great day. On the way back we walked down hill, then up hill, back through the tunnel and then we took a short cut up a flight of stairs which took us up the the rail path. All in all I clocked over 15 000 steps that day.
365 Days of Art – Seuss-like Little Girl
…..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.
Thursday Doors – March 29, 2018
…..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.
365 Days of Art – Day 60
…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.
March Square – A Circle Within a Square
….thanks to Becky B for hosting March Square
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.

365 Days of Art – Day 59
….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.
365 Days of Art – Day 58
…..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?
