Day Ten: Full Bodied

Day Ten: Full Bodied

I took a different approach to today's random word prompt. Sorry, no nude black and white photos here and no volunteers! The first thing that came to mind was the painting of 'Venus Giving Birth' when I heard the random word prompt. Venus body is anatomically improbable with her elongated neck and torso. Her pose is impossible, but this is not why she came to mind. She came to mind because when I think of the phrase 'full bodied' I automatically think voluptuous, curvy, and volume. I spared everyone of a really bad full bodied painting and focused on her face. I will let your imagination do the rest.

'Venus giving birth'

Here is my take on the painting:

Water color and ink

I haven't used watercolor in years and clearly need to practice but I am overall pleased with the end result.

Day Nine: Drizzle

Day Nine: Drizzle

I was pretty impressed with myself last night when I had completed all 8 days. It was short lived! This morning I woke up to find that the next random word prompt was 'Drizzle' and I started to freak out in my head. Drizzle? I live in Arizona, where am I going to get rain? uuuughhh! Then I asked Dave, What do you think when you hear the word 'Drizzle'? And I should have know what was going to come next...

D: Drizzle on my nizzle!

Me: What the hell does that even mean?

D: You don't want to know!

Me: Great!

With all that said, it is amazing I came up with anything at all.

I am calling this next piece

'Drizzle on my nizzle just for him'

(By the way, do you see an eye?)

Black and White of hot carrots with butter 'drizzled' over them.

I'm off to do some water coloring. Wish me luck! I am going to need it!

See you tomorrow!

Creativity Boot Camp

A couple of days ago, I came across a blog called Creativity Boot Camp and I was instantly intrigued with this blog. I love the random word prompts, journaling, and choice of medium. If you have some time to spare, please head over and the check out the site. I love the creativity of the other artist's. With that said, I have chosen to do black and white photography as my medium.

Sketchy Thursday 6.3

Sketchy Thursday 6.3 Challenge:

Here is the sketch:

And here is my take on the sketch:

By the way, I love these polariods!

I had these displayed in my cube

for about 9 or 10 years.

......

As I was saying, I love how sweet and innocent

our nephew looks in the first shot,

but in the next shot he is bringing

the 'smack-down' on his uncle!

......

I remember Shoe saying,

"Are you going to help?"

Me: "No, he seems to have it all

under control."

Shoe: "Not him, ME!"

I just laughed and

continued to snap pictures.

WHAT? It was hilarious..

That's right, my husband's car decided to bite the dust this last weekend.

Not exactly the ideal time,

but we needed a car and were able to find a deal.

drum roll please....

Here is my husband's new car:

I think it is kind of cool.. I wonder when I get to drive it? hummm..

What will they think of next?

Fans of White Castle's oniony hamburgers have a new way to indulge without any calorie guilt: a scented candle infused with the burgers' aroma.

The Columbus, Ohio-based fast-food chain this week introduced candles that smell like its slider burgers in a promotion with Autism Speaks. Proceeds from the sale of the $10 candles will benefit the New York-based charity.

The candles resemble a packaged White Castle burger and are being sold at he company's restaurants and on its website. The wax is encased in a ceramic holder that looks like a slider's cardboard sleeve.

.......

What will they think of next?

French fries?

Spaghetti and Meatball?

Journaling:

You are my hero!

You have wanted to teach since you were a kid.

You have been teaching your entire adult life.

In fact, other than your family, there is nothing

you put more thought, work or soul into.

.........

Well, that's enough for tonight. I think it is time
for me to gather up the boys and go to bed.
Dave is passed out on the couch and
Homer is snoring LOUDLY next to me.
Yep! Time for beddy-bye!
