Doodles

I don't know how people that work full time can get any art work accomplished. I worked full time this week, including today. I don't have children at home. I didn't have a husband at home either this week and I still didn't find time to do much other than doodle. All I can say is that I admire people who work full time and find time to do art. I hope you have a good weekend.

Doggie Thursday and More

Luna said she wanted to get out on this beautiful day and smell the roses. Well, the roses aren't blooming but a bunch of lwildflowers are. While watching some of the ball games I drew this Double-crested Cormorant Nest. I am always facinated with them. They pick up all sorts of things that are lying around. This one has a piece of rope, feather, a whole wing of a Great Blue Heron and a piece of metal. There is a rock where the egg should be. I have noticed that they do put big flat rocks in the center of their nests. I don't know why.

Animal Wednesday - Eastern Box Turtle

This tortoise passed by us while we were out birding one day. I took a picture of him/her and drew it. I wanted to get some paint on it before posting it. Obviously I didn't get that little project done. I just love their faces. They look so old and wise. HAW to all.

Animal Wednesday - Orange Tip Butterfly

I was reading Cheryl excitement about finding a beautiful butterfly for the first time in her garden. It is an Orange tip. She has beautiful photographs of it on her blog. They inspired me to draw her treasure. It is done in colored pencil. I can't wait to find our first butterfly in the garden. It won't be one of these beauties. HAW to all.
