I like my vegetables as much as the next guy or girl but I don’t know if I care to create a drawing with them as the central theme. Today’s offering of a little boy fishing is lovingly called “Darn I Caught Carrots.

The challenge for today offered up a side of eggs. I started out doing a couple of eggs sunny side up but saw a picture of a chicken looking quizzically at it’s eggs sitting in a basket. My picture entitled “Chicken and the Eggs,” takes a lighthearted looked at a chicken waiting for the eggs to hatch.

As an artist I love to venture into new areas. One of those new areas is collage. I haven’t done many of them but I like assembling the various aspects of a collage and then painting over them with acrylics or pen. The challenge for today was to create a picture of a plant. I chose to do a orchid like flower over a collage of old newsprint and other paper assemblages. The piece is entitled “Red Orchid” and is the first of many more of these types of pictures I hope to create.

While I have come a long way on over a month and half of drawing I still feel I have a long way to go with my art. I would love to incorporate more color and take my drawings to the next level where my art is more artist worthy and less of a doodle. Today’s offering for the daily art/ drawing challenge is one based on shells. At first I was going to do sea shells but came across a picture of a “Giant Turtle and Babies” which I did in a simple pen drawing with highlights of color.

It took me a while to settle on what kind of drawing to do for today’s challenge which if you haven’t guessed by now is rocks. The piece entitled simple “Rocks” comes from a picture I took of a rock formation surrounded by flower I snapped in Montgomery County. I can’t say I am totally enamored with the final effort but I like the overall look.

Fire is the subject of today’s art challenge. I started out drawing the usual lantern but then I thought no. I wanted to do something else so of course I chose a candle but a candle with a special flame. The piece was sketched in pencil then redone in ink and filled in with watercolor and colored pencils. I hope you like it.

Today’s challenge was to draw a rainbow. I went through a number of idea with putting rainbows in different landscape scenes but thought to myself “how usual.” I decided to take a simple pen drawing of a women holding some balloons and add some color. The piece is entitled “Rainbow of Balloons.”

Today’s challenge was to draw or paint a puddle. I will have to do one later. Instead I went one better and did a pen drawing entitled, “The Quiet Pond in Winter.” The drawing is done entirely in pen with a little grey colored pencil highlights.

I saw this picture of a “Bonsai Tree,” and decided I needed to draw it in pen. I was going to color the picture in but when I did it seemed to loose some of it’s character. The colored picture is available to view on my Pinterest page.
