Ready To Pounce

Ready To Pounce - #doodlewashMay2022 #WorldWatercolorGroup #watercolor #cat #kitten

For our final May prompt of “Stalk” today, I made a sketch of a little cat in stalks of grass who is stalking something mysterious just off the page. I’m often in this mode as I’m curious about nearly everything, though my version lacks this level of focus and is more about being easily distracted. I have the best intentions when I set out to get things done each day and can often accomplish…

Whale Shark

#doodlewashMay2022 prompt: Nail. Okay, let’s stretch! Shark scales have dermal denticles – tiny scales that are as sharp as nails plus 300 rows with thousands of nail-like teeth! Did you know whale sharks are the largest fish in the world, growing up to 60 ft long. Despite all the teeth they don’t bite, and are not aggressive, so people often go swimming with them!

The Easter Egger Chicken

The Easter Egger Chicken

#doodlewashMay2022 prompts: Dough. Wow, I had to fight to connect chickens with dough – but I did it! There is a ongoing debate over the safety of feeding raw dough to chickens. Definitely shouldn’t have eggs or uncooked yeast in it, if you do. Did you know the Easter Egger chicken is so called because none has the same plumage, and their eggs can blue or green or olive or pink or any shade in…

Giant Anteater

#doodlewashMay2022:   Did you know that the anteater has the lowest body temperature, 89.6 degrees Fahrenheit, of all land mammals. We aren’t sure why but suspect it is to conserve energy.

A Cup of Joe

A Cup of Joe

#doodlewashMay2022 prompts: Mug. ‘Create Like a Kid Again‘ – Exercise 12. Discover Fun Facts. Did you know there are 3 theories about the origin of the term ‘Cup of Joe’? One is that Joe was a term for the common man and coffee the drink of the common man. Another is that other slang terms for coffee, Java and Jamoke, were combined and shortened to Joe.  The last is that when Josephus Daniels,…

A Delightful Beginning

A Delightful Beginning - #doodlewashMay2022 #WorldWatercolorGroup #watercolor #cat #coffee

For our prompt of “Mug” today, I made a sketch of a little cat with a mug of coffee, mugging for the camera. Actually, this is pretty much how I look each morning when I finally get my cup of coffee to start the day. Prior to this moment, I’m far less recognizable and peering at everything around me with my eyes barely open while still trying to make sense of things. I’m not particularly what one…

“MUG” Goldie the Pig was thrilled that he could get a hunk of granite of sufficient size! He started early sculpting his Father’s Day gift early, because it was quite a task. In fact, the artistWalter Ego is not his real father, but he functions like Goldie’s dad. It’s not a functional mug, but a mug-like mug of a favorite mug. Quickly documented with a CROSS Bailey fountain pen with PLATINUM Carbon ink and watercolor applied with CHEEP (brand) and PRINCETON brushes in a 6” x 8” FLUID hot press watercolor block.

Hee Haw

Next Up To Bat

Next Up To Bat - #doodlewashMay2022 #WorldWatercolorGroup #watercolor #bat

For our prompt of “Bat” today, I decided to blend a couple of possible meanings for the word and ended up with a bat playing baseball. When I was a kid, I used to collect baseball cards. I enjoyed watching baseball, but wasn’t really a super fan. Instead, I had simply found a set of baseball cards once at a flea market that looked cool and then decided on the spot that I would become a collector.…

The Rufous Bettong

#doodlewashMay2022: Scale. The bettongs are kangaroo rats – small in scale next to kangaroos, but the largest of the kangaroo rats. Did you know the rufous bettongs scientific name (Aepyprymnus rufescens) means “reddish high-rump”? Despite their reddish name, they range in color from reddish brown to pale gray.
