Illustration Friday: Fail

Illustration Friday: Fail

Pastel

This week's theme is the word "Fail". Once again I FAIL to make a decent meal for my family. Once again I order pizza for supper. I am just thankful my family still loves me even though I fail to take good care of them in the home cooking department.

Pen

"He reached down from on high and took hold of me; He drew me out of the deep waters." Psalms 18:16.

If you zoom in closely to this picture, you will see it is made up of Bible verses. It took a while to do, but it was very moving to write out the words of what God did for me.

This is based on a Rembrandt painting. I went a little too heavy on the white on his chest and arms, but it is pen so I couldn't change it once it was done.

Watercolor

For this week's theme, I painted a picture of my mom's back yard in Mississippi. She has beautiful flowers all over.

Watercolor is not really my medium. I need to keep practicing. There are a lot of parts about this picture that really bug me. Maybe I will try it again later.

Pastel

This is my second entry for this week's theme of "Choose". I was thinking about those boxes of chocolate with so many yummy candies to choose from. Which one should I eat first???

Collage and Colored Pencil

This week's theme for Illustration Friday was the word "Choose". I thought of Ralph Wiggum and a Valentines episode of The Simpsons. Poor Ralph doesn't get any valentines and Lisa feels sorry for him. Out of pity, she gives Ralph a valentine that has a train on it that says , "I Choo-Choo-Choose You". Ralph falls in love with Lisa and hilarity ensues. As Homer says..."Ah, sweet pity, where would my love life be without it!" Happy Valentines Day everyone.

Pen and Ink

This is what I imagined when I saw the theme "Tales and Legends... a scary dragon, a beautiful princess and knights battling.

Acrylic Paint

This week's theme was "Stitch". It reminded me of my two grandmothers. Both of my grandmothers were avid quilters. I have many wonderful memories of playing underneath my grandmother's quilting frame. One summer, my sister and I went to my Mee Maw's house each week so that she could teach us how to hand quilt. Now I am trying to teach my daughter this beautiful art form. I am a great starter of projects, but often set them aside before they are done. Hopefully, we will get our quilt done one of these days!
