I’ve received a few requests to post the stupid owl painting referenced in Preggo Confession No. 6.
Here it is in all its putrid glory.
I painted it on a sheet of watercolor paper. It was a trial run. As a result, I’ve decided to NOT paint owls for The Baby Cave.
I’ve got a few other ideas, but I’m open to suggestions. My next class is TOMORROW.
(Note: suggestions must be elementary and cartoonish. As you can see, I suck.)
I would stick to monkeys. There is nothing serious about monkeys… I have zero artistic ability, so I completely understand! Or stay abstract, and just use patterns, shades of color and texture. Once you get it you will be amazing 😉
No, the owls are so sweet! I love … frame it.
My suggestion is that you paint Cubbie & Homer who are a couple of very wise adorable lil men in pug suits! Your love of pugs will guide your hand into creating a masterpiece fit for a princes room.
P.S. Took a second look at your owls…they just need some tiny floppy ears, more of a gorilla nose, add some short stout legs, a pigs tail and woooolaa, you are another Picasso!!!! Also Wendy is right, your owls are SWEET.
I think your owls are in need of an adjustment. Leave the paintiing to Holly. Your calling is writing.
They’re not the greatest owls ever, but there’s something very lovable about them. I think you should go for it and do a second incarnation and hang em in the baby cave 🙂
Leslie: I’m doing exactly that. With a little guidance last night from the instructor and a vote of confidence from Joe, I decided to stick to the owls. I’m MUCH happier with the second incarnation. Stay tuned for the finished product.
The funny thing about this class: it’s a six-week commitment and the last class is May 30. My due date is June 1.
Always operating on a deadline. ALWAYS.
YAY! I can’t wait to see the final result. Of the owls AND the baby 😉
