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. 

Day 65.5: Country Comfort

I was lost at first on what to draw these past couple of days. I've pretty much exhausted on farm animals and farm equipment. At least I don't want to do a lot of mechanical farm equipment. I think I may do some hoes, a pitchfork or maybe a scythe, but big huge mechanical equipment doesn't appeal to me. Feel free to tell me how much my drawings need more mechanical equipment (I may change my mind). I think I may do a scarecrow and a field of corn. Maybe a close up on a windmill. I'm not sure what else I'm going to throw in there quite yet. 

I've got my new computer ordered. I'm not sure how long it's going to take to get to me. Friday I ordered and that evening I got an email saying that my credit card didn't go through. I'm sure it's a minor issue, but I can't do anything about it until Monday, ugh! Hopefully it will be resolved soon, and I'll have a brand new computer to terrorize..er help me with my life.

Day 63: Well, Well, Well

Wells are more and more becoming something of a bygone era. Soon there wont be many left, but when I think of a farm I think about wells. Often, there are little Jimmy's that fall in these wells, but that doesn't mean that they should fade into obscurity. For all of you who have ever made a wish in a well, or wished you had a well to wish in: this sketch is for you.











Also, here are some sketches from weeks 8&9. I'm pretty sure everything is here, but I'm probably missing something little (let me know if I missed anything). I think I may be doing more farm sketches in the near future, because I'm running out of watercolour paper. It's always something isn't it? Ah well, almost 1/5th of the way there!
