while currently working on my mermaid series of paintings, i received a custom order (my first one in a while....)

about 5 years back, i did a nursery art set of paintings for a sweet baby girl named Fia. well mom loved everything so much that she approached me last week to do their baby boy's name panels as well (and two other coordinating paintings). of course i said YES! besides, cute little animals and bright colors?! right up my alley...;)

below are some peeks of the panels in progress. and a peek at baby Fia's paintings i did...5 years ago!

Doodled some hearts for Valentine's Day, using marker pens. They're sketchy and imperfect ... I considered polishing them up but really liked them as they were, with the rough strokes showing in the white and black, so I just cleaned up the outlines and kept the inner character as is. perfect. Cheers.

9. Illustration Friday: Clumsy

There are at least a million artists painting birds on wires these days. I thought I'd go crazy if I saw one more! Well, ha! here's one more because it really fits the word for "IF" this week!

I had this odd piece of scrapbook paper left over from my pages for Marianne's journal. I just wanted to do a quick little painted doodle and scumble in colors all over the place. I had fun and it momentarily took my mind off my horrible, nagging sciatica.

If you're also sick of birds on a wire I hope at the very least these colors will make you happy!

ah - poor thing - great take on the prompt - love your coloring

Annie said, on 1/23/2010 11:45:00 AM

Hi Lolo, I love the humor and spontanaity of this creation. Yes, I suppose birdies can get tiresome, but I'm just not there yet. Nope. Don't think I'll ever get there.

On now to check out the moleskin.

Hugs,
Annie

kj said, on 1/23/2010 12:36:00 PM

girl, if there is a contest for illustration friday's using the prompt to full advantage, you HAVE to win this week!

this made me laugh outloud,plus i can identify.

feel better sweet friend.

this made me smile, as I caught some squirrels under my deck in the same position1

human being said, on 1/23/2010 12:59:00 PM

ahhh... relate much to that clumsy crow... hanging from the wire with one claw...

a great work... am with dearest kj... i's a winner!

Silke said, on 1/23/2010 1:32:00 PM

Oh, that made me laugh out loud! Great interpretation of this week's theme!! Hope you feel better really soon!! Hugs, Silke

soulbrush said, on 1/23/2010 1:49:00 PM

excellent, the deputy head at my school has just had a bout of sciatica, don't ignore it, see a doc. got my artysoulsisters journo today. omg it is freaking fantastic.

Teri C said, on 1/23/2010 2:29:00 PM

Lolo, I could never get sick of seeing your birds, they are so you. This is so adorable!

Hope you get over that painful condition soon.

Cris, Artist in Oregon said, on 1/23/2010 2:35:00 PM

This is so cute & funny, but makes me want to go see if it's ok. No I never tire of seeing birds anywhere.. painted to many times or in person.

Mekeel McBride said, on 1/23/2010 3:12:00 PM

Scumble's the best word ever. I love these birds, most especially the tumbling one. And the dots. Makes me very happy just to look at your painting!

Vanessa Brantley Newton said, on 1/23/2010 3:25:00 PM

OOOMMMGGG!! How wonderfully clever. Great work.

Mim said, on 1/23/2010 4:15:00 PM

Poor baby with the bad S - I'll email. love the birds will never tire of your interpretations

EWian said, on 1/23/2010 4:19:00 PM

Your are right your birds are more fun, poor clumsy bird.

Ellen Byrne said, on 1/23/2010 4:26:00 PM

awesome idea! very funny!

take care of (as w.c. fields called it) that "suffering sciatica"!

Lisa at Greenbow said, on 1/23/2010 6:13:00 PM

I haven't noticed so many paintings of birds on wires but I have seen real birds lined up on wires.

Margaret Ann said, on 1/23/2010 9:40:00 PM

This made me laugh right out loud...Terrific take on the prompt and so "you"!

Sending warm massaging motions your way...Feel better...:)

cathyjune said, on 1/23/2010 10:17:00 PM

Perfect illo for the topic this week! I can sure identify too. Thanks for the visit & kind words on my IF.

Kathleen Rietz said, on 1/23/2010 10:30:00 PM

wonderful illustration. I love the colors and the pattern.

Bella Sinclair said, on 1/23/2010 11:49:00 PM

Oooh, LOTS of lovely new work here. And this clumsy bird had me in stitches! I just love your birds, up, down, and sideways. Pretty paper, too.

Maureen Hume said, on 1/24/2010 12:52:00 AM

Big smile! I love, love, love your funny birds.

Caroline said, on 1/24/2010 5:52:00 AM

Give me birdies any day!! This is super - love the colours and textures. Poor you - hate sciatica - I suffer from time to time too. Get fit soon - maybe you should hang from a wire to stretch out your leg too! Caroline x

Sonia ;) said, on 1/24/2010 6:12:00 AM

Love it...lol..I know birds are very popular again...

ArtistUnplugged said, on 1/24/2010 6:52:00 AM

Funny! Your art illustrations are never fowl.....

Marion said, on 1/24/2010 7:38:00 AM

I love how the crow is hanging on with one toe. I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing birds on wires or elsewhere, especially yours!

I'm so sorry about your fight with sciatica...such a painful condition! Hope you feel much better soon.

Debra Kay said, on 1/24/2010 9:45:00 AM

I love this-my brain is too clumsy to come up with anything this week.

sukipoet said, on 1/24/2010 10:07:00 AM

of course Leonard Cohen comes to mind. I actually have not seen other birds on wire pictures recently. yours is the first. Love it.

Brine Blank said, on 1/25/2010 9:57:00 AM

HAH! That is a great capture of a moment...one of the strangest things I've ever seen in real life was a crow that had shocked itself on a powerline and was hanging upside down by one leg...it was so surreal...

Renee said, on 1/25/2010 6:21:00 PM

I'm not sick of birds on wires but I am sick of you and I being sick.

xoxox

Vanessa Brantley Newton said, on 1/26/2010 2:58:00 AM

These are utterly fabulous! Love that patterned paper. So elegant. Hilarious you are!!! You made us all laugh! he he he he!

Coreopsis said, on 1/26/2010 8:06:00 AM

But THIS one is absolutely gorgeous. I myself have not seen any bird-on-wire pictures, but this one totally captures the feeling.
