Even here one must remember to look down and see natures tenacity. The tiniest mauve flowers cling to rock and life and flourish.
For my first #NatureDoodlewash I brushed the dust off my Elegant Writer Calligraphy pens to get the funky colors and swirls of the rock. For the flowers I used watercolour pencil and white Gelly Roll. All on Opus Essentials Sketchbook paper. By Susan Feniak
Thank you to Charlie O’Shields for inviting us along on #NatureDoodlewash

Its the middle of the night and I should be sleeping but no. So here I am and it is time for you to meet “Haggis MacBagpipe”. He is here to wish you a Happy Robbie Burns Day!
Way back when, in my high school years, the ‘70s, ugh, I never had any change left in my wallet for buying greeting cards. So I made the cards myself. Out of necessity I invented or created a gaggle of creatures and critters along the way. There were plenty for me to choose from and they were suitable for any occasion. “Haggis MacBagpipe” is a true original expressly for Robbie Burns Day. A card I more then likely presented to my parents January 25th circa 1973. Memories……

These two look as impressed with the fact that it is winter as I am. Grumpy? No matter, it is winter and there is nothing they or I can do about it. Cheer up!! At least they don’t have a dump of snow on them like my cardinals do!
Quick Lets Go South

Time to do some art. Now that is a switch!! Time for art?? Since it is a rather soggy sunless day in these parts I came up with a plan to paint a pair of cardinals. You know, just to get me into a better Christmas frame of mind. One thing led to another and the next thing I knew the cardinals were looking a little too snow bound and frazzled. Ergo, “Quick Lets Go South”!! I like to think the one cardinal is pointing in that direction. It looks to me like he is. Enjoy! Cheers, Susan

#SelfieArt My first

It is the 25th of the month and I am posting a #SelfieArt. I kept it simple this time. Self portraits are out of my comfort zone as are painting pictures of someone else or even animals. So why not accept a challenge? As you can see by this picture I am more complicated then meets the eye!! 🙂
