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.
