Fresh Artwork Thursday Week #4

I know I know.

I can hear you all now saying but it's Friday!...again!

I am still having computer issues but now I'm starting to think that these "computer issues" are only happening on Thursday evenings when I go to post my Thursday challenge posts.
Is this a conspiracy to see how easily I will give up on this challenge?

Are dark forces working against me to see how weak I shall become?

HA! I think not! I shall prevail!

Hehe, I love the dramatic musical score that accompanies both these statements, at least in my head...*snicker*
I scanned the little white rabbit and then decided I didn't like his circle outline and proceeded to photoshop it right out of existence. I'm not so sure that was a good idea or not as he appears to be floating there now and we all know that trickery belongs to the Cheshire Cat!
I love the way his ears curve around the (used to be) circle.

This foxy little duo still has a slight curve at the bottom that shows they were indeed done in the round. I love their cheeky little grins.

---------------------------------------------------

I've decided that just because it's so darn hot outside that it's totally time for a giveaway here.

Stay tuned for details to come!

*wink*

Happy Fathers Day!!

Such a handsome man isn't he?

I wish my Father a very Happy Fathers Day today!

--------------------------------------------------------

My Dad isn't much of a sports fan and neither am I. I chalk it up mostly to the area in which he and I both grew up in. We didn't have a major sports team in any sport in which to follow.

I have been fascintaed with the FIFA World Cup Soccer games being played over in South Africa of all places. Don't have a clue how to keep track of the game, the yellow cards, the penalties, the reasons behind what they do on the field but LOVE it when they score!

Anyone else out there watching?

Fresh Artwork Thursday Week #3

It doesn't matter how much you insist that it is really Friday today, no really...I swear it's only Thursday simply because I said I would do a post EVERY Thursday so today IS Thursday.

You get my logic now don't you?

Actually I believe I have a fairly decent reason. Granted I waited until right before I was going to get into bed to post it but my darn computer decided to totally freeze up on me and the call of my bed was ever so much louder than my curses flung towards the computer.

That being said I actually have fresh artwork to share, yippee!

----------------------------------------------------------

Two more round pages have finally made their way home. This first one had to travel all the way to Spain but he (she?) finally arrived.

The theme here was India.

What I don't know about India could fill several football fields so I had to do a little research on the subject and when I stumbled across some clipart done by an amazing artist Pieter Weltevrede at the Sanatan Society who are ever so kind as to offer up this particular piece royalty free.

All I did was draw it out as best I could within the confines of my round page and then used my colored pencils. I love the soft colors.

The next theme was flying soaring.

The birds wing actually comes out away from his body to give it a more 3-d feel.

Lime green anyone?

I think that almost everything I do HAS to have a little of this color somewhere in it. I told you, I have a fascination/addiction to this color!

Creepy Crawlies from the Garden and a Visit From the White Rabbit

Hop hopping through the garden I found the White Rabbit and followed him in.

Sweet little bookmark that's headed to the shop!

I then proceeded right back to the garden after securely tucking the rabbit someplace safe.

Wandering about in the garden I cam across a bunch of little lady bugs!

I love ladybugs, or wait, is it ladybugs? Probably a boy ladybug anyway and he is highly resenting me calling him a lady anyway. I love the polka dotted helmets they have, so polished.

While I searching out the ladybugs this guy rather startled me. he blended in with the scenery so well I almost didn't see him until I was right on top of him. Isn't he gorgeous?

Later in the afternoon I spotted him doing some strange almost dance in the sun and raced back outside with my camera in hand to catch him again! He was actually dancing or something that would most likely get him a guest spot on the Ellen show, hehe.

Then there was this lime green/bright yellow tiny spider. I love the light here.

Fresh Artwork Thursday Week #2

I have to admit that I'm still quite smitten with round things and todays post on new artwork is no different.

The fact that I'm having a love affair with lime green is rather evident here as well.

These guys are painted on a 6"x6" canvas.

Are you all hanging in there with this weekly challenge?

Alchemy's Last Stop Before Heading Home

Just a quick stop by to announce that little Alchemy is finally headed home to the UK for his giveaway which should happen shortly after his arrival there.

He had been staying at Studio Cherie's place for awhile and you can read about his adventures while there.

You can also catch up on his adventures on the Meerkat World Tour fan page over on Facebook.

He's got quite the following!

Round Tuit

Hehe, just one of those things I've always meant to get around to and today was finally the day!

Notice anything different?

Finally got my three column blog that I've always wanted and I even did it myself! Yay!

Somewhat easy instructions for those of you yet to venture "there".

Now if I can just get those darn sprinklers out front fixed...

Oh and a longer header, you know, for up top, oh darn...
