Daily Doodle 4: Spring Fever!

Here's my latest doodle ; ).   I'm starting to think maybe I should call these "quarterly doodles!"  At the moment life is so crazy, I'm doing good to get up here and do anything but sort and pack.  I did have this image pop into my head and just had to get it down on paper.  I have drawn in a small book I made a couple of years ago with paper I love, but it's not the best for photographing----hope you can see what I've done.  If you click on the photo and then go stand a few inches from your monitor, you can actually make it out, LOL!   I know I will do something more with this---stayed tuned........

Once we get settled in Louisiana,  I'll be posting a "farewell to Belgium"  with some photos of some of my favorite things about this wonderful place we've called "home" for the last nine years.  I think you'll see why we have loved living here so much~~     

Daily Doodle 3

Here's my doodle today : ).  I'm experimenting with pastels---I love the seemingly endless variety of textures that can be created with this one simple medium.  This is a quick little study for a bigger piece I want to do on canvas in acrylic and pastel as a gift for some dear friends who have five daughters. 

A favorite artist of mine, working in acrylic and pastel, is Sophie Burbaloff.  You can see an example of her work here.

What are you experimenting with these days? 

Daily Doodle Number Two

I don't know exactly why;  but,  the idea of animals in mary-janes appeals to me.  Here, Gladys, who is a circus chicken, is stepping out in her brand new, shiny mary-janes and she just feels that she has the world on a string.  There will be more to come about Gladys and her special talents.   Sometimes silly is good ; )

Daily Doodle Number One

I have begun a new challenge, hoping to develop my drawing skills.  The amazingly talented Alicia Padron has been posting "Daily Doodles" for a while now.  She has invited any one who wants to, to join her in this fun exercise, (there's the button, right over there to the right & down a bit).  My first offering is one of those random pictures that popped into my head one morning while I was drinking my coffee and I finally got it down on paper.  I know there are some problems with it, but I think I can make something out of it ; ).
