A wonderful painter, Don Cadoret, http://www.doncadoret.net/New_IMAGES.php sent me a link to a blog by a dear friend of his, Darla http://darhosta.wordpress.com/
She referenced a friend and artist Carla Sonheim who has written a new book ,
Drawing and Painting Imaginary Animals. http://carlasonheim.wordpress.com/
This book looks so cool and I am eager to see what creatures she has in there.
Well Darla asked people to follow the original instructions from Carla and put a blob of watercolor on paper and then play with it any way you want to create a Cranky bird. So in the free moments I had today I played with blobs and came up with a few sillies. One of the rules is there has to be some comment on the page. I am not used to letting go and just playing, but I did.
Here is what I came up with.
Help I’ve Fallen And I Can’t Get Up!
I never wanted to walk on stilts.
Hahaha
Glad I made you laugh….more cranky creatures to come!
Glad you joined in on the fun, Susan! Love your critters.

So happy Don Cadoret directed me to you.
Sounds like a fun exercise. The “comments” for your birds are very clever.
Looking to do more creative exercise….never realized how precise I am.
Keep playing !
Thanks Karen. May be a good project for Partners Fall festival. I have some supplies I’ve been meaning to drop off.
Looks like fun!
Try it, it is surprisingly freeing!
I love the attitude of mr Stilts! 🙂
