Doodlewash Art Challenge and Friday Face Off
1. Armadillo
2. Button, 4. Clouds
5. Stump, 6. Sunrise
I painted this elephant.[3. Doodlewash] on watercolour paper using watercolour paints and fine liner.
The other Doodlewash pictures are in a cartridge paper sketchbook.
I might be sending the elephant to the POSTCARD ART EXHIBIT 2026
They invite artists on platforms such as X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky, and LinkedIn to contribute postcard-sized original works of art. Each exhibition is hosted in a different physical location, often in a new country each year, where the public can view and purchase the art to support the selected beneficiary, this year funds benefit people affected by Alzheimer's.
I also did a sun bear
Another option is one from some older paintings
I can only send one and I can't decide which it will be.
Photo Challenges
The first one was taken at Wallington, the rest at Beamish
Retirement cottages for mineworkers
Patchwork Bear
I also made a bear this week out of leftover fabric. It was really to try out the pattern which was from Etsy. I found some embroidered tablecloths at my mothers house and I thought I would make memory bears for my sisters out of one of them if I dare cut it up.
Flower of the Week
That's it for today. I hope your weather is better than here, it has been miserable most of the time since the new year started. Cold, wet and dark.
Enjoy your week!
Lovely art and photos! -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteOhhhh Linda these are all spectacular. I think the Elephant would would the prize at the Post Card Exhibit. Each piece is expertly executed. I'm so impressed. The rest of the photos are so cool. I love that first one the kitchen. Thank you for sharing with FFO and have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteThere is such vibrancy to your art! I love the elephant and also that rockin' armadillo!
ReplyDeleteWonderful as always. I like the bear painting. I also like all the photos. And I love the patchwork bear. Good luck with whatever you submit.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy seeing your drawings. They are once again super. And I wonder at those museum houses. I know at a museum they are neat, but did people have clutter the way we do now, or do we live in a clutter time? Have a super weekend ahead.
ReplyDeleteThere is, as always, so much to see on your blog. It is quite impossible to select which of the postcards to submit. I can see your dilemma!
ReplyDeleteThe patchwork teddy is sweet and cuddly. Why not ask your sisters what they think before cutting up the tablecloth?

ReplyDeleteAs always you've shared some lovely art.
ReplyDeleteThe Armadillo looks amazing.
I like the elephant and the sun bear.
The fabric bear you've made look great.
We have actually had a little sunshine today!!!
With all the grey clouds and rain it was wonderful to see, even if it only lasted a short while.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
All the best Jan
While the sun bear and your older paintings offer a variety of options, the elephant's charm is undeniable. As for the patchwork bear, using embroidered tablecloths as memory bears is such a thoughtful idea—there’s a lot of love stitched into those pieces.
ReplyDeleteYour artwork is superb! I love your photos of the rooms; they take me back in a good way, especially that room with the pink wallpaper. Great share.
ReplyDeleteOh, I think the Elephant - it's lovely!
