drawing | fillip {on}


·
pulling weeds early friday morning, before the rains set in and i'd be constrained to indoors studio work, i didn't mistake the piercing noise meandering from behind the shed for sheep's bleating. 
·
they come visit every spring. some ten days is all them three need to munch the grass right back on the other side of our bottom-of-the-garden-creek. 
·



·
sunday last was a blast: patrice drove all the way down from holland! and would you know the rain held up and we strolled through town, through sunday streets, through the house here, and through thoughts, cherished and shared, by more than just the two of us. 
·



·
demie drank tea with us, and  all of you drawing challengers were present too. why, thank you, all! 
·
needless to say we did go and fillip on! stefanie had me puzzled at first, {and is hosting many more fillips!}. 
·



·
i had a 
grand ol' time 
with the wax 
crayons.... 
... splashed some 
post war 
'black-out'
about, 
and voila

  3. What is that flower Woolfy, is it a tree or a shrub? It's a beauty all stretched out to greet the sun, the perfect landing pad for bees.

  5. yeah, this is so cool, seriously I love that so very strong and powerful drawing in black wax- it´s a logo! a d.c. logo and a logo in anyway.
    and I enjoy to read about you and Patrice, your time together and the other visitors.

  10. Haaaha, you made my day!... dearest Nadine,
    your 'keep calm...' sentence is simply great! Love it! the howling woolf!
    And to do it by wax crayons is... My, I can smell it and feel its oily surface, delicious :)

  17. Oh yeah, two thumbs up on this one art friend. Indeed! Keep calm and fillip on. And of course with the wolfie on top. Brilliant. I loved hearing about your visit with Patrice, and yes, I can imagine we were in your thoughts. *hugs* Norma, x
    p.s. it is amazing how sheep can take care of a swath of grass (and hanging branches, and gardens, and flowers, and, and, and ...)

  19. Oh, you got me right from the beginning with those cuddly sheep...mäh!

    Great entertainment as always, my dear!
