I lifted up the dust cover on my husband's motorbike this evening to see if I felt inspired to sketch it. I did, but I only uncovered it a little to keep things simple.
This morning I popped back to the beach to take photos of the curious balls of seaweed I had seen down there yesterday. I have seen one here and there from time to time but never en mass like this. It was a bit like an art installation compliments of Mother Nature.
There were also a lot of crab holes with attendant claw prints from all their scuttling in and out.
The pigface was flowering prettily near the rocks.
looks like a perfect Spring on the west coast of Oz. How bizarre those seaweed balls, I have never seen anything like it. Mother nature is always surprising us isn't she? Beautiful job on the sketch of the (uncovered)bike!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sally! Yes, the weather is amazing at the moment. How is your husband enjoying his bike?
DeleteOkay Mate! Your art challenge is a comment challenge for me! Trying to catch up with your wonderful posts! I am following you but need to make time to comment!
ReplyDeleteI so love this sketch of your husbands motor bike! Love that you left most of it covered! Also so love the reds, blacks, and orange! Great rendering of the bike but more important to me is that it is a great work of art! Bravo!!!
Also love, love the beach photos! I so love the ocean. Your photos of the seaweed are beautiful and so very interesting. Look so much like "pods" from movie "Invasion Of The Body Snatchers!!!" Classic old school science fiction horror movie. The original black and white version is the one to see! They certainly do look like a very modern artist's installation!
Take care Wendy!
Keep on posting your wonderful art Wendy!

DeleteYour sketch is great, not easy I should think with all the details in a bike . And love those seaweed balls, would look very decorative in a garden .
ReplyDeleteThanks Jane, you're right they would look lovely in the garden!! I love your latest portrait!
DeleteWendy - great sketch of hubby's bike. I did one for Dick...like the fact that you kept it simple too. Gorgeous pictures of the beach. Just looks like the perfect spot to sit and just look out and enjoy. Just love seeing where you live. Hope you are having a super day.
ReplyDeleteI have been enjoying your drawings. This one is great. I especially loved the last image with the pigface flowers. Oh how i wish I could be in Australia now when everything is in spring bloom!
