Before You Write – Lou Belcher

Here are the latest from the 30 in 30 Painting Challenge…

Lots of flowers. Hope your life is full of them too.

What we’re doing…

We have been busy getting stocked up for hurricane season. We were surprised by Gordon last week. He didn’t come directly at us, but we got a surprise visit by enough rain to make me write out a list of supplies. They say there are several cyclones out in the ocean that may turn into tropical storms or hurricanes, so time to prepare.

Everything else is going fine here. Found a restaurant in town that has The Impossible Burger on its menu, so I tried that out and will be reviewing it soon on TheHelpfulBlogger.com.

As usual, we are participating in the Sunday Selfie Blog Hop put on by The Cat on My Head blog.

Look…I’m the same size as HH’s sketchbook. She could just trace me… Easy-peasy portrait…lol.

Have a great day,

hugs, Bugsy, Knuckles and Lou (HH)

Day 4… This one is pen and ink on 140 -pound watercolor paper. Lots of ink. Haven’t drawn one of these in a long time. Enjoyed it.

Day 5… This one is acrylic paint on gallery-wrapped canvas. After 4 days of close work, I needed a day to paint loose. Felt great!

Thanks for stopping by.

This one is called Chatting  and is pen and ink on 140 pound watercolor paper.  Who likes whimsy?

Just a short post today to keep up with the paintings.

More tomorrow…

This is Day 2 – a painting for the second day of Leslie Saeta’s 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge.This one is in pen, ink, and Tombow markers on 140-pound watercolor paper. I love whimsy. This one was fun to do.

Day 1

Sunday flowers. Actually, any day of the week is a good day for flowers. I think I may paint so many florals because real flowers don’t work here with the boys. They think they are food…

Guess who loves his toy so much that he carries it from room to room. Today he brought it in the living room and used it for a pillow for his nap.

That’s all for today.

Have a great week…

Hugs, Bugsy, Knuckles, and Lou

Oh… And we are participating in the Sunday Selfie Blog Hop put on by The Cat on My Head blog

I love these brushes. I received this set of flat brushes from Artify to try out.. They are super… I tried them this week with this flower sketch. Smooth… I used acrylic paint on canvas and just played around with abstract flowers. The brushes are great if you’re looking for flats… (sizes 1 through 8). They hold lots of paint, but they don’t plop it all down on your painting at once. And not one loose bristle on the entire painting. Easy clean up too.

I also have a new set of watercolor brushes… Beautiful. I’m very pleased with them also…

This is a work in progress, — started, but not finished.

So, that’s what’s happening over here with art…

In addition, I’ve been walking every morning at 6:30 AM… Wish I had started that earlier time sooner. Have seen some beautiful sunrises. It’s very hot and steamy, but they tell me that’s good for me. That might be a story, but I’ll stick with the walking.

Here’s Bugsy’s selfie for the Sunday Selfie Blog Hop put on by The Cat on My Head blog…

Have a great day…
