Creative Tuesdays - Pumpkins

The latest challenge over at Creative Tuesdays is pumpkins.  This little chap below has found himself a super new house for the autumn.

Creative Tuesdays - September

September is the prompt for the latest Creative Tuesdays' challenge.  To me this month means that summer is nearly at an end and autumn is not far away.  Also this is the month for nervous new starters going to school for the first time. So with this in mind do you remember my emu twins back in April?  Well they are now ready for their first attendance at school, although they do look like they may be a little troublesome.

Pop over to Mr T's blog to see what September means to others.

Creative Tuesdays - Forest

Forest is the latest word for Creative Tuesdays.

If you have a sprinkling of fairy dust you will be able to see little communities which live deep in the forest.

Move to Christchurch Dorest now undertaken, but still don't feel I am in control of everything yet as I am having the inside and outside decorated, so have not unpacked properly.  When it is all done it will be lovely.  There are so many things going on here, as well as having a beautiful Quay and beaches to visit.

Anyway enough of me, go and visit other forests over on Mr T's blog.

Creative Tuesdays - Ship

Ship is the challenge this time over at Creative Tuesdays.

I didn't think I would manage this challenge as I am now officially on the move.  Contracts exchanged with completion on 16 July and because of the distance I am going I move in on 17 July. Yeh!!!!! I shall be celebrating on the patio listening to all the sea gulls.  Downside is I won't have any broadband or wifi connections for a couple of weeks, so I may not be able to visit anyones blogs until I am reunited with the world again.  Hopeuflly by that time I will have unpacked all my boxes.

This was a quick drawing of the first thing that came into my head, using promakers. After I had drawn the shape at the bottom it looked so much like a whale, so that is what it turned into which wasn't intentional.

Pop over to the CT blog to see more ships.

Creative Tuesdays - Moving

Moving is the theme over at Creative Tuesdays.

My move seems to have reached that period when you feel nothing is happening as all the solicitors, hopefully, are talking to each other.  All the surveys have been completed on my current property and my future one, so I am now waiting to hear about an exchange date.  Contracts will then be completed two weeks after that and I can then move in!

I am also now a lady of leisure and one that currently lunches (catching up with all my friends!) so can't really complain. Life is currently good!

Check out Michael's Creative Tuesday's blog for other little pieces of art.

Creative Tuesdays - Candy

This week over at Creative Tuesdays it is candy or sweets (depending on where you live).  I had so little time and rather than miss an entry I quickly did the following sweet candy house.

Thank you everyone for your wonderful thoughts and messages on my impending house purchase.  I have found a gorgeous house in Christchurch, Dorset which will enable me to have a separate studio and space if I wanted to do any classes.  It is also about a mile from the Christchurch beaches and right next door to a nature reserve, what more could I ask for. This is something I have always dreamed of but never thought would happen. Fingers crossed now that nothing goes wrong.

There are already lots of candy/sweet pictures over on Mr T's blog, so go and have your fill of suger.

Whimsical fish

With the search now on for a property down by the south coast, another watery creature.

ACEO in marker pen. Enjoy the rest of the weekend folks!

It will soon be Tuesday!

Something to cheer up those Monday morning blues.

Whimsical emus

Meet the twin brother of my hatching emu (born from a Creative Tuesday prompt).  This one, has the same attitude but is more forceful, so consequently was born a few minutes earlier, hence his ability to stand.

This is his twin brother.

I need to name these two, any ideas, as they may appear together at some later date!

Linking this to Artists in Blogland.

Whimsical owl

My second whimsical owl. ACEO size on bristol board and marker pens.

Happy Easter Bunny

Happy Easter to everyone.

Not sure it this is the mad march hare or an easter bunny! Enjoy all those choccy eggs.

Creative Tuesdays - Skyscrapers

Skyscapers is the next Creative Tuesdays theme.  Mulling this over I thought that any animal might think a larger one was just that. This is what transpired.

The Creative Tuesdays blog has taken on a lovely new look, pop over and have a  peek. If you feel like it come and join us, we are all very friendly.

Whimsical Owl

Am still drawing faces when I can, but decided on a change to owls. This is the first one.

Plus another face.

I am in the process of sorting out, storing and currently having my place painted in readiness for putting it on the martket for sale, so I am going through a phase of not being able to find anything! Also not having enough time for art!  All this means that I also need to find a house to buy, once mine has sold. This has all been brought on by my impending retirement and a need to go and live on the south coast.

Life after 29 faces

Well, at the moment I still feel the need to draw faces.

After I had finished her, she looked so sad, hence the words.

You can see all 29 faces together on my flickr account, I have put them in a special folder. Which is your favourite?

Christmas owls and a cat

I seem to be doing a lot of owls lately, here are just two christmas ones.

oh and a christmas cat!

Creative Tuesdays - Mittens

This week the challenge over on Creative Tuesdays is mittens.  My abiding memory of mittens is where they were attached to a long piece of ribbon so that they could be strung through your coat arms to stop you losing them as a child.

Again my piece did not turn out as I had envisaged, as I had all sorts of ideas, but am learning just to go with what my pen decides it wants to do, and as you can see I am in festive mood at the moment.

Marker pens on bristol board. Pop over to Mr T's blog for lots of other lovely warming mittens.

Sunday Postcard Art - Steampunk Christmas

I have never drawn steampunk before, so this is my interpretation for SPA's steampunk christmas.
