Mr Beaver at Home
6x8in oil on canvas NFS
I was invited to join a small group of artists who
participate together in a monthly challenge.
The DB Challenge
They are:
Diana Moses Botkin http://dianamosesbotkin.blogspot.com/
Suzanne Berry http://suzanneberry.blogspot.com/
Vicki Ross http://vickiandrandyrossart.blogspot.com/
All are fabulous artists and I felt honored to be asked.
The guidelines - It should be FUN!
But Diana also wrote, it should be a chance to play, explore and learn something
without the thought of marketability of the painting pleasing anyone but
ourselves. That drew me in.
I admit I laughed when I read the challenge for my first month.
So will you... it is "Rodents."
Anyone who has been following my blog knows I have
just completed a series of bird nests so is it any wonder
my rodent of choice has a huge nest. Tree branches and
trunks replace twigs and grasses.
This was from a photo I took in Colorado near Lake Dillon.
Below are the other member's paintings.
Some really skillful and creative imagery going on here.
I am hoping being in their company will
challenge me to come up with some creative results myself.
I encourage you to look at their excellent blogs.
