Old Dog, New Tricks

art, humour, sketch, , , , 35 Comments

This old dog is determined to learn something new, so I’ve been practicing drawing faces. If nothing else, it’s fodder for laughter.

The featured image is me, sans lunettes. I ran it through a digital filter to de-emphasize the amateur quality. The drawing below is my husband from a photograph. When I showed it to him, he said: “Who’s that?” and then: “That’s not me; I know what I look like.”

When I showed it to the kids and grandkids, they immediately said: “Grumpa!”

I’m still laughing.

Permission to write, paint, and imagine are the gifts I gave myself when chronic illness hit - a fair exchange: being for doing. Relevance is an attitude. Humour essential.

  5. These images are quite fab! I’m not sure what you mean by your processing, but the end result is a grabber. Very funny about your husband not seeing himself. We’re all that way to an extent , I suppose.

  6. I agree. You have another talent uncovered. I have been doing more art lately thanks to John Muir Laws (Nature Journal online) and a conference “Wild Wonders” I attended online last year. You might find nature journaling interesting. I do enjoy your art!!

  8. Its a little hard to read the black text on this greenish background. I like the jail teardrop tattoos on the first one, don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time- yeah, don’t do it. 🕵️‍♂️
