My Tonto-girl!

Thursday, 14 March 2013 by Janette Wright

Tonto is a big part of  our household. She thinks she is our boss. Her world revolves around food (any food!), a stick that can be thrown, chicken, barking at the postman, walkies, waiting for food and sleeping. She is amazingly active for a doggie that is almost 12 years old, it must be the Border Collie and Terrier mix! Lately we have had some hot dogs (literally) as a result of the hot summer weather. When Tonto is totally relaxed, she shuffles and wiggles on her back and and makes growling sounds.

As far as the cats go – their world revolves around eating and sleeping. Occasionally as entertainment for Pepsi.

I did do some work this week! Here are some pictures: it is a bit of a mixed grill and I think that a little exhibition in a few months time would be good. With Snacks and wine of course.

Spending some time working at my sister’s house, a change of scenery is always good.

Friday, again!

Friday, 08 March 2013 by Janette Wright

Bollie cat on top of the dog house.

So little time and so much to paint. This week I did more “random scribble drawings”. That means: I grab a piece of paper, take a pencil, charcoal, koki or paintbrush and let my hand take the drawing tool for a “walk”. I scribble without looking at the page, sometimes with my left hand! Then I turn the page this way and that, until I see something pop out. A pair of eyes, a nose, legs or whatever. So the funny little creatures evolve and I develop the scribbles into paintings of some or other character.

Just a reminder that some of my creatures still need to be named. If you are feeling creative and have any clever or quirky ideas, please leave a comment!

The media used: arcrylic paint, koki, polychromo pastels and charcoal – oh, and tealeaves for the texture.
