New paintings and regular art updates.
Watching a TV programme about red beaked choughs. The presenter Jim Moir is painting one in watercolours. I found a watercolour style brush in the Artrage app and did a few layers. It’s made up because I was too busy struggling with this to watch what they actually look like! Also hard to erase where the pens have bled out too much.
Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt was ‘mol’ I did an abstract art idea of ‘mol’-ecules… Hubby criticised it for not being accurate! I tried to explain that I wanted to make it look like a thing with movement with ‘electrons’ and sub atomic particles whizzing around…
Belly time
Turns over
Purrs
Happy cat
Fluffy fur
Bright eyes
Happy
Kitty cat
Life
Friends
You look at me
Eyes full of hunger
Are you a lion?
A tiger?
Or just a cat.
Tomorrow I’ll buy
The best food
Tonight?
it’s pilchards
Sorry…
I started exploring the symmetry tool on one of my new drawing apps. I had just watched a programme about Saxon art and illumination illustrated in bibles and books, and also the style you sometimes see in stained glass windows. It’s interesting how different filters change the way they look. I feel like the face ended up looking like the Hollywood film star Bette Davis for some reason….
I’m still playing…
Stray, spice, slope…
Wordle got me
Fight, gates, grape….
I hear these words in my head
Trawl, choice, fears….
Saying words that fit the frame
Frame, banes, party….
Driving me madly badly silly
Batty, ratty, tatty…
Some American spellings catch me out
About, spout, trout,
Not the above!
But humour or humor?
But now my mind
Ticks… Tocks… Evoke….
Five letter W. O. R. D. S
I wish I was a cat. Curled up curves, elegant in sleep. Cashew nut shape, spiral, sweet.
I wish I was a cat, that’s just been fed, delicate meals or lion roaring red.
I wish I were a cat, washing paws and face, the most incredible positions, but all done with grace.
I wish I were a cat, out in the wild, climbing trees in gardens. But home again to play.
I wish I were a cat, companion and good friend. Asleep on your lap. Pinned you down, so he can nap!
Oh help!
Five letters
One puzzle
I got more space
I got hooked!
Played the game
Once or twice
Frustrating and sneaky
I’m getting stuck
In words.
Knowing them
I have too many choices
Missed one letter
Eight times.
Only playing basic stuff
Five letters
Time stolen.
I’m imagining the back of a playing card with a pattern on it like this? Two profiles facing each other, one turned upside down. It’s based on the idea of the two heads on the King, Queen and Jack cards. Are they designed to read from both top and bottom to make it easier for all players to read them?
I am not a graphic designer so I am not sure what criteria I would need to actually make these, but I’m having fun as I experiment again.. Hope you enjoy my scribbles x
The way the winds blowing I could see this flying past my window!
It’s actually four collaged photos. If you take a photo with an interesting corner you can create images of things apparently floating in mid air. I didn’t take the picture deliberately to do that, it was more about the pinks and oranges of the sky…
