I’m miles being doing sketching prompts and this is five weeks late!
The #bandofsketchers prompt was crow, i drew a cartoon crow today. It’s asking why it’s legs are short. It’s because I drew the rest of it too big!
New paintings and regular art updates.

Soft pastels on grease proof paper. I was trying to use this for monoprinting but the pastels were too soft and dry. I will try and find ptooer oil pastels. In the meantime I added the flying bird over the top of the other colours. Although it’s quite simple I like it…

Its odd what comes into my mind to paint. This again was a few years ago and a tiny painting, acrylic on a small canvas. I think this was a crow. They are such characters, intelligent and cheeky, known to use tools. They are part of the Corvid family, which includes Ravens and Rooks I think? All of them have the same clever characteristics.
This was another one of the small paintings I did to sell at craft fairs and it was sold. I think to a lady who als bought a small painting of a skull…..

Crow painting from 2017. Acrylic on canvas with gold leaf. It was an experiment which I felt came out OK. Its from my imagination. It was only about six inches square.
I did a series of small paintings over the last few years, mainly for sale in craft fairs, they were quite popular. I wish I was doing more, but it’s pointless at the moment as I would just be creating more art with no outlet to sell it. Anyway I hope things get back to some form of normal in the next six months to a year……. Xxx
