December's Banner

I have tried to post this to the banner and I can't seem to figure it out.  So, I'll just try this.

Friday, November 2, 2012

thanks Brice for the November banner!

Thanks so much Brice Reignier for the November banner--it's very exciting and so unique! Also, love the prompts--hope we get a lot of fun responses.

I copied the banner you posted here and enlarged it. If you're not happy with it (is it a bit blurry?), then send me the full size or no smaller than 900 pixels wide to: painthorsegallery (at) gmail (dot) com

thanks!

November Banner

Hi,

I wasn't quite sure how to get this through, thought I'd try this way :)

Here's the banner:

I had a few suggestions for possible challenges:

> Animals in space - poor Laika was launched in space in November 
(that's her in top right of banner)

> Hot air balloons - man's first flight 

> Mummy - King Tut's tomb was discovered this month

and of course > Thanksgiving and/or "Gobble! Gobble!"

These are only a few suggestions based on what I learned about November... "Mummy" might be more appropriate as "Discovery" or something like that, I leave it to you.

One day he will have the wings but for now it is all about eating. I did a panda with wings but painted in Photoshop but take a look on my website. I am really pleased with it.

If I had Wings

If I had wings I would be a fairy in the garden, who is a bit far sighted and likes red shoes.

Alice in Wonderland by Penny Noble
I haven't joined in much lately as my 93 year old Mother broke her foot and her mind has fallen down the Rabbit hole with Alice. My family and I are taking care of her at home. So time consuming but worthwhile.She took good care of me!

after the splash: Summer fun!


Our little rhino friend has just found a watering hole, what luck!


I used a digital cut-out technique to chop up some watercolor textures into the various bits you see, a little airbrushing here and there and voila!

I notice that the November banner has not been chosen by anyone, can I request it?

When posting...

WaWe members, when posting please title your illustration with the title of the piece followed by your name. For example, "Horses in the Wind" by Linda Snider Ward. We have 80+ members and although the majority do not post on a regular basis, viewers want to know who did what. We don't want them to have to hunt for your name--anyway, be proud of your work--you're all amazing!
thanks,

"Big Dog" by Linda Snider Ward

This doesn't go with any of our challenges, but I hadn't posted in awhile. This is actually an ACEO (Artist Cards, Editions, Originals), part of a small series that I did for the Canine Art Guild ACEO challenge. "Flower Power" is the theme & my big dog Minnie (a St. Bernard) is the subject (she often is). Watercolor on paper, 2.5" x 3.5".

Just a note to our WaWe members, please put your name in the title of your posting--that way it's clear who did what.

Mr Bears green form of travel



Mr Bears very green form of transportation.
A bit of a stretch for the theme but other than a little hot air a pretty green form of travel. Will he recycle the balloon?
