Illustration Friday - Faded

For this week's IF word, faded, I kept coming back to laundry.  You know that favorite shirt you have that you think looks really good still and you just love the color?  Then one day you happen to realize by looking in the mirror or worse, seeing it in a photograph, how awful and faded it looks?  But you say to yourself, "It's just so comfortable...and you put it on anyway?  I have several items that fit this category!  Oh well...we need something to paint in don't we?

Have a great rest of the week!

Illustration Friday - Popularity

The Piggie Mud Dive was by far the most popular event at the annual Pig Fest!

I wanted to do this for last week's Illustration Friday theme suspense, but just didn't have the time to devote to it...So glad it fits this weeks popularity theme!  I really enjoyed painting this one...I hope you like it, too!

Illustration Friday - Obsession

Here is my submission for the word obsession for Illustration Friday.  "Why  a pig skateboarding?", you ask? Well, every summer this last week of July the X Games are held and shown on TV...thus creating a several month long obsession for my three boys.  They get out their skateboards, their bikes and their scooters and try to mimic the tricks they have seen or create tricks of their own.  Just this morning we traveled to three towns (close by) to find an open skate park so they could use the ramps for even more "gnarly" tricks!  They love it and I love the fact that they are outside all day long.  So here's to summer fun...until the next obsession begins...usually right around the start of the football season!

Illustration Fridays - Dusty

Emma's favorite times on the farm were spent running with the piglets down the dusty dirt road.


Here's my entry for Illustration Friday's word - dusty!  I added a little colored pencil here and there with the watercolors this time...
