For our prompt of “Shorebird” today, I sketched a little family of piping plovers. I was watching videos of the little baby chicks running across the shoreline and it was super cute. They seemed so curious and

Wonderful!

I love this Ariel. So simple but very effective.

Thanks Gary, this one is my favourite too. I decided to try my hand at this technique upon reading a book by Bill Buchanan on painting expressive nudes. Apparently the reed pen is what Matisse and Picasso also favoured for this kind of sketch. I can only agree!

Lisa Ann Ulibarri posted an updateFor as long as I can remember stories and the telling of them have been so important to me as they are an important part of my heritage as well. Today\'s art is reflective of the story of the perfect heart. A young man was making fun of the torn up heart of one of the elders saying how his own heart was so perfect; flawless. The elder told the young man that the condition of his heart was due to the pains and joys in his life. How he had also given parts of It to other. All these experiences left wear and tear and also empty spots. The young man understood and realized this elder had the perfect heart. He took a piece of his heart to share with the elder seeing that his though, having a space was becoming more beautiful. PSX_20191019_113120[1] -

This brings back memories of a gorgeous photo that a coworker had on the wall of the office we shared. Her husband had taken it in New Mexico. Going up in one of these is still on my bucket list. Thanks Everett for triggering that memory.

This scene was taken in Kansas on the actual festival. Hundreds of balloons in the air at the same time. Everyone was different. Thank you for your comment.

Many thanks, Gary! It’s a silent tribute to my late father who was very fond of Cross pens . It was a rare occasion when he gifted me one of his when I got a good grade in A’Level English Literature a very long time ago.

That’s very touching.

Indeed, Gary. Thanks!

I really like waking up to the daylight and I’m not looking forward to the dark, gloomy days of winter. But first there is fall, with late summer weather cooling to crisp autumn winds and bright autumn nights. I do enjoy those!
Yeah, fall is really the best! Winter comes just in time for Christmas, but by New Year’s I’m already over it! hehe 😉
Fantastic Charlie and they are so much fun to watch. Sections of the beach and dunes are marked off so that the nesting areas are left alone so as not to disturb the birds.
Thanks so much, Karen! 😃💕 Aww that’s wonderful that they protect their nesting areas!
Wonderful shorebirds, Charlie! Enjoy that extra day off!!
Thanks so much, Mary!! 😃💕
Good reminder about counting on the change of seasons being something we can depend on! We need to be reminded of good things like that. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed this, Brenda! 😃💕 Yes, there’s still always something to look forward to!
Hey Charlie those soups sound sooo goooddd I wish Phillippe would post a few recipes. Yum. I love the fall too but then comes The Ugly which even in my Canadian Okanagan hot spot is not so cute. A broken leg did however teach me not to racewalk in a blizzard. Let’s enjoy the long mellow fragrant afternoons. Soon you’ll be sketching Rudolph et al!
Yay for soups!! 😃💕The only recipes I could get him to write up are in the little DO Cook cookbook that we made – https://doodlewash.com/shop/charlie-shop/books-by-charlie-oshields/do-cook-standard-hardcover-edition/ – Yeah, the winter can get a bit too cold, but yay for the holidays!! I can’t wait!
Lovely painting…and I don’t relish autumn as it signals to me winter is also coming…Yet the fall with all its color and freshness, like spring…is a good reminder that there are some things you can count on to happen no matter what else is going on in the world…Reassuring to say the least…Enjoy your day off and try to remember to recharge your batteries as you can’t doing anything running on empty!! God bless😊
Thanks so much, Priscilla! 😃💕 Yeah, fall is my fave, as it’s still not too cold here. Winter is fun for about a day and then I’m over it! hehe
I adore your little piping plovers! Have you ever seen that cartoon with the pp running with the waves? Here’s a preview.
You’re right, fall foods are good. I’m already thinking of chili and scalloped potatoes. But summer didn’t stick around nearly long enough for me. I was telling a friend that two more months of it would be about perfect.
Thanks so much, Lisa! 😃💕 Yes! I love that short… it’s so sweet! Yeah… our summer was mild, so I was okay with it sticking around, but today was really warm so I’m over it! lol
I went for a ride to our local nature reserve on Sunday morning and was watching shorebirds in the flesh, or feather. I love the Autumn. My morning cycle to work is getting a bit chilly already. Great doodle.
Thanks so much, Gary! 😃💕 Aww that sounds like a wonderful ride and place to be indeed!
Lovely family of piping plovers!
Thanks so much, Fatima! 😃💕
We have Plovers on the Oregon coast. They are fun to watch, running back and forth. I am so ready for a change in the weather, unfortunately no cooler days or rain. Only thing returning is an unusual high wind storm this afternoon. Not good for all our fires.
That’s so wonderful you have plovers there. I would love to sit and watch them. Ugh on the high wind storm… here’s hoping for cooler days and rain! 😃💕
Thanks so much, Lisa! 😃💕 Yeah, I’m definitely going to enjoy the cooler weather. It’s so much nicer to go for walks indeed!
Thanks so much, Marisela! 😃💕 Yeah, anything really cold down there would get a bit weird. Even where my mom lives in north Texas will shut down when it snows! And true, when you get that cuddle partner those seasons will be different indeed. 😉 And yes! I watched some of Oliver… it’s just the cutest!!
Thanks so much, Mugdha! 😃💕 Aww that’s wonderful that you got to experience an NYC fall. We have very similar weather where I live. It’s lovely in the autumn. Those sound like beautiful memories indeed!!
Thanks so much, Kellie! 😃💕 Yay for the beautiful colors of autumn coming soon!
That’s what this blog is all about! Sharing stories! 😉 And no, I’m not a Texan. I’ve lived in Kansas City my whole life, but my parents left home when I was 18 and moved to Wichita Falls.
