365 Days Spirit Art Journal
Day 27 ~ Mission Impossible
This week I set out to try drawing mundane items around and near my art table using black ink. I did not put the little saying with them that you see with the usual etegami, but I was doing this as practice.I am having trouble finding a brush that I like to use with the ink that does not separate.
These are the watercolors I did.
My daddy worked as an engineer until he was 100. At 91 they all gave him the usual birthday office party and one of the engineers drew a caricature of him. Well, I decided to see if I could do the same thing. He always wore Lily Pulitzer men's shirts and trousers and bow ties. He was never without his hat because he was totally bald. He lived to be 100 1/2.

ReplyDeleteLove the lady with all the houses, charming.
And to hear how your daddy dressed, a delightful portrait.
so many wonderful paintings and drawings! Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness you are so productive in one week's time. I like how you vary from different mediums and subject matter with your art. The one of your father is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteLovely work this week!
ReplyDeleteAdorable composition of the little girl paper doll going to school.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lot of art this week... I'd love to have so many drawings and paintings to share. I'm lucky if I get one piece completed per week. I also have those fabulous watercolour paints.
ReplyDeleteYour Daddy's caricature is great... he certainly looks a snazzy dresser.
Happy PPF to you
Wow, a cornucopia of awesome art pages. Each one has so much interest. The second one with the row of houses is my favourite, all the words you added make you stop and think a while, when reading them.

You made me hungry, happy, alert and recalling my 25 moves to different homes in my 70 years.
ReplyDeletethat is amazing your dad worked that long! and your copy looks really nice, looks like a happy guy
ReplyDeletedrawing things around you is great practice :) you sketches are nicely done :)
Great spirit arts and other paintings.
ReplyDeleteHappy PPF ❤
I´m amazed, how do you find time to create all of what you share. I´m happy to make two from photos :)
ReplyDeleteLots of good spirits and great art. I really like the houses one. I think we've all had moments into those kind of houses. Not good to be in one either, but so easy to find those. I really enjoyed these. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI love hearing about your father. He was quite the mentor for you! Your art is simply charming!
ReplyDeleteYou do produce such charming art.
ReplyDeleteI love each of your little houses, they look very pretty in their lovely colours and patterns. So sad that the people who live in them have such negative attitudes! Maybe you have encouraged them to do better!
The first piece is amazing fun and I love the spotted cat looking on. Cats are good at enjoying their life.
Your father sounds like a wonderful character and person and your painting of him makes him look so happy and contented with his life. Great clothes too.
What lovely artwork.
ReplyDeleteAll of it is very good! I have zero talent in this area.
