Dolls House

 My entry for Pull up a Seat Challenge

The dolls house was at Nunnington Hall. I'm afraid the photos aren't great because of the glass in front of the house.

Dog

 We've just come back from a lovely holiday in Spain so I thought I would combine a doodle dog created on the tablet with a photo I took in Spain.

I received my copy of the Twitter Art Exhibit Book for 2022 last month. I don't know if it has pictures of every postcard sent in but there are a lot. My postcard is the hare with sunflowers. It is over and done with for this year but they are advertising for next years event which will be held in Vancouver to support UNYAyouth.{Urban Native Youth association}. Anyone can send in a postcard so why don't you have a go?

Tuesday Digital Doodles

 

I thought I would try the same flowers with a white background and then a black one.


I wanted a background for my sunflower and I found this one in my archives painted with the 'painter' app on my tablet. I did adjust it with a filter in photoshop because the sunflower was blending in too much.

Sun Bears

 This is another animal on the endangered list

Pen and watercolour

This was the first painting I attempted of the sun bear. I used bamboo pens and inks. I didn't like the outcome so I had another go at the same picture but with watercolours and pen. Still not great so I did the one at the top. Guess I need some more practice with sun bears.


These are the bamboo pens and inks I used.

A little bit of information about the sun bear. They are one of the most endangered species in the world due to habitat destruction, poaching for sun bear bile [used in traditional medicine] and because of over exploitation for their body parts which are used in ceremonial dances. They are found in Indonesia and other South East Asian countries.
Bear Bile Farming - moon bears, sun bears and brown bears are kept in tiny cages also known as crush cages, sometimes so small that the bears cannot turn around or stand up. Some exist in the cages their whole lives. Bear bile is collected by invasive extraction methods resulting in many infections. Most farmed bears are starved and dehydrated as this can encourage bile production. What they do to these bears is evil and heart breaking and totally unnecessary.
