Creative Tuesdays - Spy

My interpretation for the challenge from Creative Tuesdays of Spy caused me much angst this week.

You know when you have a picture in your mind but it doesn't quite translate to paper, well that was me yesterday!  My idea was to have a dog burying his bone and being spied on by another. Mind you I was watching the Olympics and cheering on Team GB at the same time.

The dog should have had its head fully in the ground and ended up with it out and looking like he is wearing a wig (yes that's supposed to be fur and an ear)! Not quite sure who that crazy animal is looking through the fence either. Have realised I am not a fan of painting with green and could not get the right shade I wanted, hence the yellow and orange animals.

Although really not happy with this, in the true spirit of this co-op I am posting (even if to give people a laugh at the mullet!).  Team GB did oustandingly well on Saturday though and I realised I can't do two things at the same time.


If you pop over to Mr T's blog you will see other interpretations of Spy.

  6. Oh Linda~ You are so hard on yourself... I just adore this one, and love all the colors you used, and didn't for a minute think your cute dog was wearing a wig...

    You fence is perfect... I used a fence in mine this week and struggled with it.

  7. It's really cute and sometimes what comes out on paper is BETTER than what you imagined! Not sure I will have time to create "spy" this week but wanted to comment...

  12. Oh dogs and their bones. I love this! And if my dog catches me watching where she's 'burying' or hiding a bone she grabs it and runs to a new location. And love the whimsy of the polka dotted doggies!!
