10/01 Inspired by the recent Celtic Knotwork class I took, I thought I'd try weaving a triquetra as I had trouble with the concept in the class. I thought it would be fun to turn the triquetra into a snake eating its own tail. I wasn't planning on using the prompt for the day: poisonous. I suppose this could fit the prompt though the snake doesn't look very intimidating.
10/02 I'm taking a class in illustration. In class, I had colored Ink with colored pencil, but couldn't seem to get any depth of shading. This experiment was done with watercolor pencils, and I like the effect much better. This also gave me an idea for a Christmas card. Though I wasn't following the prompt for the day: tranquil. This pose of Ink fits.
10/03 I didn't use the prompt for the day: roasted for this Zentangle.
10/05 Challenge prompt: Chicken
10/06 I wasn't going to follow the challenge prompt Drooling. Saw Corolla munching the grass outside the sun room. I suppose Corolla could be drooling at the thought of all the delicious grass in the yard.
10/07 Challenge prompt: exhausted. Concordia's flower is spent, and the peace lily looks exhausted.
Beautiful work! Have a great week, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThese are simply awesome works! You are so talented and imaginative ... something that goes with artist as a prerequisite I imagine. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteWith compliments like that, my Lady, my head is going to swell, and I'll need to wear two cowboy hats. Thank you!
DeleteBeautiful and so awesome-you have a gift-hugs
ReplyDeleteMaking me blush. Thank you.
DeleteI love your interpretations of the prompts! My favorite is the 'chicken'. :)
ReplyDelete:-D I couldn't draw a chicken, but I can draw an egg
DeleteLoving all of these. You make it sound easy, although it is definitely NOT. You make beautiful art.
ReplyDeleteThat is so kind of you to say
DeleteDelightful! I love how varied the work is :) Nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks! (-:
DeleteOh, I especially love Little Ink and Corolla.
ReplyDeleteSnorted over the ankle turning. I'll be watching out for limpers when I'm out and about. Heh.
It really works! When the Eldest was in high school there was a boy who hurt her feelings. I was lettering this prayer as a gift when she told me. The next day she saw the boy at school and he was limping! :-D
DeleteSo lovely to see all your fabulous Inktober creations! Your Ink painting looks so peaceful - I love it 😀. Have a great day! J 😊 x
ReplyDeleteI like working with the watercolor pencils so was able to get some nice shading.
DeleteCJ...
ReplyDelete984 paws up as da tabbies say; each of these works is really really neat... I like Ink's the best and you did a great job at "shading" ♥♥♥☺☺
The shading turned out better with the watercolor pencils. Give the Tabbies head butts for me =^..^=
DeleteVery nice CJ. You not only can do calligraphy but you draw pretty well too. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteIt's more doodling than drawing, but thank you.
DeleteWell done CJ! You are so creative! I love Ink! I love that prayer too! I thought the snake was cute! LOL! Really enjoyed them all!
ReplyDeleteYou're so sweet. Thank you.
DeleteI don't know which I love more: your clever writing or your clever art. I love Irish sayings but hadn't heard this one. The snake is really - can I say it again? - clever. I love the chicken - so clever - and the zentangle - just fascinating ;-)
ReplyDeleteBlush. Thank you. I think I learned this Irish saying from my calligraphy teacher when I was first starting out.
