Well, I decided yesterday that I was letting too many things keep me from getting the important stuff done…..art. So, I’m going to try again to join the daily painters on Wet Canvas. Today, I posted this sketch done in my favorite sketching style using a flair pen (non-permanent ink) and then brushing water to push the ink around. This was done on my 5-1/2 X 8-/1/2 sketch pad. Just a lot of fun….which is my preferred way to start the day as well as end it.

I found this photo of a miniature bulldog just lying there looking up with a longing expression and decided to see what I could do with it. I didn’t get the expression as well as I’d like. I may redo it tomorrow in color. They have such dopey-sweet faces! This was done with a flair pen then brushed with water. Size 4 X 5.

I decided to paint the poppies, later the same week… Size 6 X 9.

The drawing above is of Primroses (Primula polyantha) called Golden Lace. The center of each flower is bright yellow, the petals a deep reddish purple trimmed with white. The colors are so great, I may have to do this one in watercolor.
