my journal again......

This poor old Cardinal. I thought I was doing a good job but then when I look at it now, well he looks like he is constipated or something. He is so "stiff"....I must try again. I hope you all appreciate my failures. I filled that book up and have got another one now. Meanwhile I am working on an old sketchbook I have had a long time. In both books I have enjoyed so much doing, there is really nothing outstanding, nothing I would frame. I suppose I am too much of a perfectionist. I want to do something worthwhile. None of these things will get beyond my sketchbook/journal. Some are copied from others pictures that are painting in a style I like, they are only for me to use for practice and no other reason. So if you see anything you recognize I was admiring the work and trying to do as well. I have failed but its been fun. Unfortunately the Cardinal was all mine. I keep looking at him, I think its his feet that are the worst. Maybe I can fix them????



well I went and scrubbed his tail and put it on the proper side of the log and cut off his feet. Does not look quite so constipated now but certainly not relaxed enough.



This little phrase I saw somewhere and added it to the cup and saucer in my sketchbook..............



This is a sketch that I copied from a book I was reading.




Just a leaf......


This is something I copied from a magazine and changed it for myself.



This I saw on a blog and although I didn't copy it, this was not my original idea. I liked it and drew my own version.

The poor rabbit is eating a daisy, he looks like he has a ribbon under his chin........




Tea again.....


More flowers



This is something I painted on a paper bag, I cut it out and put it in my book. Thats why it looks strange



For someone who likes owls (smile) I gave it a shot.
