Day 74: The Ant and the Grasshopper

anI've worked on this over the past couple of days. I don't really have the computer power to finish this yet, but this is the basic idea for another bug-type illustration. The final will change from this, but this will give you a basic idea of what I'm working on.

Day 72: Turkey Talk

It'll be a long time before Thanksgiving rolls around again. And though they aren't thought about the other 364 days of the year, I still decided to draw a turkey. Turkeys are funny little gobblers. 

Turkeys are nice to look at, but I can't imagine living with one near my house. People that have birds as pets (even little canaries) always amaze me. You can't really pet them like a cat or dog (well maybe you can, but most are so small it's so not like petting).   And I'd hate cleaning up after them. No, I prefer to look at birds, or draw birds rather then let them in my home. There is really nothing wrong with owning a bird, but you wont see one in my house! 

Day 71: What Do a Truck and a Hummingbird Have in Common?

I drew this truck yesterday, but I couldn't think of anything to say about it, so I didn't post. Today I can say that I had nothing to say about it, so I can post. Makes perfect sense, doesn't it? 

I wanted to draw a bird today. I had the basic form done and my husband suggested it looked like a humming bird. I added a few lines at his request and there you have it a little hummingbird. Maybe it doesn't fit in with the other farm animals that much, but I think he's kind of cute.

Day 69: Big Duck

An adult duck is the drawing for today.  I thought the little ducky deserved a bit guy to help him feel safe. Can't say much today 'cause I have to go eat. Enjoy!

Day 68: A Field of Corn Without the Field

I had started with a field of corn but I had to do some downsizing on my blog and only ended up with one stalk. It will be a lot easier to harvest now, and the scarecrow will be extra effective. I do wish I could have given him some brothers and sisters, but art doesn't always work the way you want it to.

I'm trying to decide on more things to add to my farm. Bales of hay would be good. Either those square boxes or maybe the big giant round ones. I've always wanted to get on one of those big round ones and see if I can get it to roll like some might with a barrel. I think that would end painfully, but I'd have fun for two seconds.

Day 67: A Scarecrow

Here is the scarecrow all finished. Not very scary, though. It's okay because it's not like I'm making a Batman movie. I think next will be a cornfield to put the scarecrow in. Cornfields are very scary places. Just visit Ohio - you can't drive for 20 10 minutes without seeing a cornfield. And yes, Ohio is a scary place. They don't have any mountains!

Day 66: A Windmill

Today's sketch is of a windmill. It's not really the type of windmill you'd see at most farms. I was going to do a scarecrow, but I'm not sure how I'm going to do him yet. Without arms or legs... hrm it might not be a scarecrow that's fit for children. I'll have to think about it and see what I come up with.
