I bet you were thinking a dog and pony show, huh?
Well, since it is weird bird Wednesday, I need to include a couple of birds!
But first, this Marshmallow dog showed up in my art journal last week:
It was Kid’s Art Week at CarlaSonheim.com Each day a new video for kids of all ages. And the best part it is free! (You can still sign-up if you are interested).
This year the lessons were finding imaginary creatures in sidewalk cracks. I was at the lake so I drew my animals by looking at the sidewalk cracks in the videos. I “colored” mine with watercolors and added shading with pencil and other details with a Micron black pen.
Sidewalk cracks are a lot like finding animals in clouds, like these puffy cotton ball ones at the lake:
It was an usually hot day so the lake water was very refreshing!
I must have had sun hats on my mind when creating this weird bird:
Who knew birds had teeth?
I don’t think my show is complete without this photo of a lovely lake sunset…
Happy Weird Bird Wednesday!
Cheers! 🙂
Oh Jill, I wish I had been at the lake with you instead of stuck here at work! Happy Hump day! I like the bird with the teeth the best.

Hi Kerfe, yes, the water is a little cold at 65 degrees but VERY refreshing!! We are thankful we don’t have the wildfire smoke this year. It has been terrible the last couple of years. We are keeping our fingers and toes crossed that the air stays clear! 😃👍

Hi Jodi, I wasn’t sure about doing weird birds in watercolor without collage…but I thought I’d give it a try! 😃 Sometimes it helps to limit my supplies so I try something different… the sidewalk cracks are really fun! Carla Sonheim has created a book with them and is selling them on Amazon. The videos are fun and inspiring too! Glad you like them!! 🐦💕
