A pair of tree swallows have built a nest inside a hole in a piling on our dock. We have enjoyed watching them coming and going busily feeding a nest full of young. On occasion the pair appear to be having words over how to raise and feed their young with a great deal of bickering back and forth. But soon they go back to busily coming and going. A cacophony arises from the nest with each trip. The youngsters have all left the nest now. But it would appear the couple are preparing for another batch. The cycle will begin again and we will be entertained some more.
#NatureDoodlewash Once again I have used Neocolor II Caran D’Ache combined with Gallery Mungyo Watercolor Crayons. I really need to get myself a bigger collection of Neos!! Original art by Susan Feniak on Canson Mix Media 7” x 10” paper

Today I bring you a conch shell from that walk. If I hold the shell up to my ear I can still hear the Caribbean. In my world this memory is of the ultimate nature walk.

#NatureDoodlewash Butterfly

I inspect all my flowers and shrubs and make sure they are thriving in this heat wave. To my great joy and wonder a butterfly stops by for a visit. Flitting from flower to bud. Hardly stopping long enough for me to see its shape and colors. How can I remember how to draw that? If only my butterfly bush had survived the winter, then maybe my visitor would have stayed longer.

#NatureDoodlewash Salamander

Its been hot here. As always I like to look all around to see what there is to see. Looking down I see this little fellow, a salamander. He seems to be smiling at me from his cool hiding place under a log. I think he is as surprised to see me as I am to see him. Soon he disappears under his log. And I carry on to see what else there is to see…….

And now for something completely different, an abstracted version of me. I believe I am in a quandary or have a query as to how the name Susan translates to, “Suzy Q”. I have never really cared one way or the other but prefer Susan.

May 24th is set aside for snails. Of the eatable variety. Since I can not make myself eat them I have decided to bring to the table a rather idealistic version. If they smile at you can you eat them? Being a gardener you would think I would despise these guys. I have been known to toss them over the fence to be rid of them but eat them? Not.
I have been absent of late. Work has called me away from the table. This #DoodlewashDinner is done on Opus Essentials Sketchbook with Neocolor II Caran D’Ache and Gallery Mungyo Watercolor Crayons by Susan Feniak

And my biggest glass. So be careful there may not be enough to go around! I do share but within reason!! Because I am not sure if I should post name brands I will keep myself out of trouble by hinting at its name with the design of the label. That being said I am sure they wouldn’t mind a little free advertising. It is a delicious wine with a citrus flavour that only New Zealand can provide. Cheers! Susan

Lucky coincidence I should say!! We are happy to oblige with a barbecued home made beef patty with lettuce, cheese, tomato and a beauty of a pickle served up on a big gooey bun. Looks good enough to eat.
