Partridge In A Pear Tree
Partridge In A Pear Tree - #doodlewashDecember2020 #WorldWatercolorGroup #watercolor #partridge #Christmas
For our prompt of "Partridge" today, the first thing that popped into my head was the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas." Then it really wouldn't leave my head and now I've been humming it all day long. This is the first gift given in the song, and then things only get weirder from there. By the end, one ends up with 12 partridges and 12 pear trees along with a host of other perfectly unexpected…

The Beauty Of The Season
The Beauty Of The Season - #doodlewashDecember2020 #WorldWatercolorGroup #watercolor #cardinal #Christmas
For our prompt of "Cardinal" today, I made a sketch of one nesting in the middle of some holiday decorations. As the days get closer and closer to Christmas, my holiday spirit is growing by leaps and bounds each and every day. Though this was certainly a very challenging year, I still find myself full of hope and filled with happiness. Yet, I can't believe that Christmas is just two weeks from…

Watching Birds
#WorldWatercolorGroup - Watching Birds - #doodlewash #birdwatching #bluejay
One of the most relaxing things in the world is to simply sit outside, perhaps with a drink in hand, and watch birds. Often, if I'm still enough, one will land on the railing of my terrace. For a brief moment, we'll catch each others' eyes, and he'll stare back at me, cocking his head to access what's before him. I stare back and nod imperceptibly as if to say "hello," and I'm never certain that…

Peanut Day
Peanut Day - #doodlewashSeptember2018 #doodlewash #WorldWatercolorGroup #bluejay #peanuts #PeanutDay #NationalPeanutDay
For today's celebration, we're honoring the peanut, with this little bird I decided to doodlewash. Apparently, blue jays are quite the fan of shelled peanuts and I do have to agree that these are probably my favorite as well. We often had a bowl of them on the table when I was a kid and it was one of my favorite snacks. Of course, I was equally a fan of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, which…

Spreading Happiness And Hope
Spreading Happiness And Hope - #doodlewashApril2020 #WorldWatercolorGroup #watercolor #birds #dabday
For our prompt of "Bird Feeder" today, I decided to sketch one being enjoyed by a couple of birds. Indeed, in these times, I realize now it equally looks a bit like they are social distancing. But, today is rather special in that April 8th is actually Draw A Bird Day, a day meant to draw a bird and share it with whomever you choose to brighten their day. So, I'm of course choosing you! I hope you…

A Holiday State Of Mind
A Holiday State Of Mind - #doodlewashDecember2018 #doodlewash #WorldWatercolorGroup #watercolor #Christmas2018 #cardinal
Today was a perfectly lazy day at my mom's house in Texas. Outside, a rare snow has been falling all day, completing the holiday mood, as Mom, Philippe and I worked on this year's puzzle. At 1,500 pieces, we're making slow yet steady progress. The show Property Brothers was on TV in the background, apparently a marathon event, so I'm not quite sure how many homes were renovated during that time,…

One Little Bird
One Little Bird - #doodlewashFebruary2021 #WorldWatercolorGroup #watercolor #illustration #kingfisher
I'm dropping in again for the prompt of "Kingfisher" today, with a little doodle of one. I've sketched these birds very realistically before, so I thought I'd try something a bit different. I've been practicing the creation of my own simplified characters lately, while working on my next book, and realized that I hadn't really tried to make a bird character yet. So, I figured I would give one a…

Patterns On A Peacock
Patterns On A Peacock - #doodlewashNovember2018 #doodlewash #WorldWatercolorGroup #peacock #illustration
When it to comes to patterns, our prompt for today, a peacock came to mind, with its gloriously opulent feathers that make it seem like it's some kind of bird royalty. I often think a peacock knows it's rather fashionable, as it seems to strut more than simply walk around. I have to appreciate that level of confidence in any creature. I can remember getting a new outfit of some kind, though, and…

Pretty Holiday Things
Pretty Holiday Things - #doodlewash #WorldWatercolorGroup #watercolor #Christmas2019 #poinsettia
For our prompt of "Poinsettia,"I paired one with a little English robin and a pine branch. When I was a kid, my mom would always get a poinsettia plant that she'd pick up at the grocery store and place near the fireplace. This was in our downstairs recreation room that was also the home of our Christmas tree. Though red was certainly a festive color, the pot was always made ever more festive by…

Fine Feathered Friends
Fine Feathered Friends - #doodlewashJune2020 #WorldWatercolorGroup #watercolor #watercolor #birds
For our prompt of "Feather"today, I decided to sketch a bird full of feathers. Indeed, it was just the perfect excuse to doodle a bird since I enjoy sketching them so much. This is a Japanese robin or komadori, which I think are rather cute, though I've never seen one in person. The term "fine feathered friends" also came to mind and I was curious as to where it originated. Like most sayings,…
