Canines

I painted this collection of wolves and foxes after seeing a TV program about canines or canids or is it canidae? They include foxes, wolves, jackals and other members of the dog family. I chose wolves and foxes to paint.

Wolf

 I used one of my older paintings to make a repeat pattern for fabric or paper. 

I'll put it on Spoonflower one day.

Masa -

 I didn't think this looked right, I don't think so much of the top would have been seen from that angle...So I took another photo from a different angle, I think it looks better.

But then I decided to have another try at Masa

 

Sketchbook 12, the last pages

The last pages from sketchbook 12.

All the backgrounds are watercolour, the top two have a wax resist too, probably made with a candle. I have used found images to collage.

this one has woven newspaper on the background

doodles drawn with black and white pens

wax crayon tree

the cat[s] tail hangs over the page edge. This one looks very crumpled, not glued very well at all.

Teddy Bears Picnic, Cakes, Wolf and a Poem

Three paintings from sketchbook 12

Can you spot the frog in the picture above and below?

There is no frog with the wolf, maybe he gobbled one up [do they eat frogs?]

I was sent this poem by email, thought it was cute, about a grandma and computer

 The computer swallowed grandma. 

 Yes, honestly it’s true!  

 she pressed 'control' and 'enter'  

 And disappeared from view. 

 It devoured her completely, 

 The thought just makes me squirm.

She must have caught a virus 

 Or been eaten by a worm.  

 I've searched through the recycle bin  

 And files of every kind;  

 I've even used the Internet,  

 But nothing did I find.  

 In desperation, I asked Jeeves     

 My searches to refine.  

 The reply from him was negative,  

 Not a thing was found 'online.'     

 So, if inside your 'Inbox,'  

 My Grandma you should see,  

 Please 'Copy, Scan' and  'Paste' her

 And send her back to me.  

  

   

 This is a tribute to all  the Grandmas and Grandpas who have been fearless and learned to use the computer.........   

 They are the  greatest!!!
