National Beer Day #doodlewashaday

April 7th  No doubt my husband will say this is the best one yet!  Wahoo!!  National Beer Day!!  Today I have doodlewashed a tall cool crisp one in a stein for you to enjoy.  Or should that be I have drawn you one?  Regardless here it is.  I must say #doodlewashaday is challenging me both imaginatively and creatively.  A good thing.  But glass?  That is a first for me.  How did I do?  Got to go, I am thirsty. Cheers, Susan

National Tartan Day #doodlewashaday

April 6th brings National Tartan Day, or, and I quote, “National Sorry Charlie Day”.  Sorry Charlie but I opted for Tartan.  Since my ancestors are mainly from Scotland and Ireland and I have been to Scotland three times I have a bit of an affinity with tartans.  Here I have doodlewashed two of my ancestral Clan MacLeod tartans, MacLeod of Harris and MacLeod of Lewis and Raasay.  My favourite would be MacLeod of Skye.  I could go on about Scotland but I will spare you.

National Read A Road Map Day #doodlewashaday

April 5th  For me it was either National Deep Dish Pizza Day or National Read A Road Map Day.  Guess which one I opted for #doodlewashaday?  Hope you are all having a good week.

National Chicken Cordon Bleu Day #doodlewashaday

April 4th  National Chicken Cordon Bleu Day!  And another #doodlewashaday.   Who knew there is a day set aside for Cordon Bleu?  I didn’t.  It is a favourite in this household and now that I have doodlewashed one I think we might just have to partake for supper tonight.

Out of Season

original art by Susan Feniak    Neocolor Caran D’Ache on paper

Sneaking in one more before our weekend break.  You guessed it we were lucky enough to have another stellar day.   Time for some sitting in the  sunshine and more scribbling in my sketch book.  This time the end result was this jaunty Red Cardinal.  A little out of season but why not?  The Neos provided me with just the right color.  Enjoy you weekend.  Cheers, Susan
