Middle-aged suiggle — Squiggle woman contemplating middle age.

With blue hair and practical shoes, this squiggle woman knows that she has found her middle age and perhaps is looking at the beginnings of her senior years.

I used markers for the base of this squiggle and then used colored pencils to add the shading.

Too many dogs! — I think you would call this a pack of dogs.

All of these dogs are done with colored pencils. I was playing with complementary colors and blending for brown.

I think the dog in the green military helmet is the leader of the pack.

Parachutist — The green parachute always guarantees a safe landing.

Most of this drawing is marker, but the parachute is shaded in green color pencil. the color scheme is complementary with the red and green, but I used red, green and yellow to make the different browns.

I believe he is going to drop a bag of sand to mark his landing spot. The green parachute makes him a little bit of a dandy.

Squiggle lizard — A strange lizard is climbing my wall.

The lizard squiggle is done entirely in marker. (Bic markers) He’s a little fanciful, but then that’s what happens when you see things climbing your walls.

Ladies at Tea — Two very proper ladies having tea.

This is also an early squiggle. It is done entirely in marker. I like the spectacles on the lady in the foreground.

Lynne: I was checking the blogs I read and I noticed that Teri Partridge of the Pear Tree Gallery has this wonderful watercolor tutorial up on how to make a greeting card of beautiful bleeding hearts. I’m getting my paints together for a go at it myself.
