Our Scribble Picnic this weeks calls for WATERMELON. What's a picnic without watermelon? I tend to keep my watermelon prep to a minimum these days but there was a time in the past when carving them was an "artistic" challenge. I think I did the swans for my sister's bridal shower. First and last time. It's among one of those things that if you don't do a lot, you don't get to hone your skill and it takes a long time. Too long unless it's a very special occasion for a very special person.
I fit this into my ICAD prompt of DESERT also this past week. It's been a very up and down week of vacation for me/us. But we ended on a good note spending time with friends. And eating watermelon.
How else would I be able to get HWNSNBP to wear a watermelon dress?
On my way now to join the other Picnickers to check out their WATERMELON contributions. I hear that there is a surprise prompt for next week so you'll have to check back in in a day or so to read all about it.
Great painting for the watermelon theme, Lorraine. The swans are a lovely touch. I couldn't help but laugh out loud re. HWNSNBP wearing a watermelon dress. Clever pic!
ReplyDeleteYes, he was a good sport about it. I think I should have given the dress a better shape. Maybe next time.
DeleteWatermelon sculptures are great. I like yours.
ReplyDeleteThanks Wanda. I do like swans but I'll opt for something simpler if I ever do it again.
DeleteYour watermelon drawing is fabulous. I simply adore the swans sitting on top of the watermelon, and love that it also fits your idea of dessert for an ICAD prompt. Way to think outside the box.
ReplyDeleteWell thank you! Sometimes it's easy to fit and sometimes it's just better to go off prompt. As long as your creating - Right!
DeleteLorraine, so glad you joined us for this week's picnic. And what a fabulous idea showing a watermelon carving. Very clever. I am in awe of anyone who can call things out of fruit or ice so well done that too! Thank you for your contribution this week and I look forward to seeing what you might do for next weeks theme, if you choose to do it. :-)
ReplyDeleteWell thank you and you've certainly got me intrigued about this special theme. Looking forward to the reveal.
DeleteYour piece is lovely!
ReplyDeleteswans & watermelon - good combination though I really wouldn't have thought of it. good take on the theme.
ReplyDeletehave a lovely day.
I can imagine watermelon craving would take some time to perfect. Nice drawing!
ReplyDeleteYou're more ambitious than I am to have tried carving a watermelon, but I'm sure your sister appreciated it! How funny with the "dress" photo!
