A BIT WILD, WET & WINDY

Hello Peeps,
Well - the weather has really turned today - wet, windy and grey.
I decided to make a little scene of what it was like at the beach this morning !!!

I used DE-STEMPELWINKEL - "At The Beach Plate #32" for this piece. I decided to try the sea stamp upside down for my clouds at the top - it didn't come out so bad :-) I tried to disguise the straight line by adding to it in pencil to show what our sky looks like when we are going to have a Tornado or a Water Spout. It gets very black in a totally straight line across the sky and then you can actually see the spouts forming in the cloud line and then dropping down to the sea - like the one I drew in the middle of the scene.

The whole thing is lightly coloured with Prismacolour pencils.

I used the seascape up the right way at the bottom and added a couple of other islands on the horizon. You can only see these here on days when it is going to rain.... it's weird that they suddenly appear.. a bit like Brigadoon !!! :-)

There weren't many birds flying - just a couple - and some just taking shelter on the beach and the wind was really bending the palms !!

Glad to be indoors on a day like this :-)

Keep warm Chums :-)

HAVE YOU EVER STOPPED TO THINK ........?

Well, it's me again today.
I was thinking recently that I pick up loads of Freebies along my Blog browsing and stash them away on my EHD, but then don't use them. So - I have made myself a little pledge to start sorting through and getting them out to use.

This one is new, however, and is from SCRIBBLES BY SANDY and is the FREEBIE for this current Challenge - 'BOYS WILL BE BOYS'. I've already slapped one entry in but - having taken the marbles freebie - I decided to do another, pretty deep and thoughtful creation.
Without further ado, here it is..............

The Marbles are from SCRIBBLES, the background is from DECOSSE's DYNAMITE DOODLES - called MLT Night Sky 2 and the hand and Earth are  by ME ( I drew it for this creation). 

I added a swirl effect to the backing paper and the marbles were coloured in PSE 9. The hand was coloured with Prismacolour pencils blended with baby oil. 

Now, I hope it fits with the Challenge theme ? I know Boys like to play with marbles and this is a very BIG Boy playing with these :-D

I'm off to walk the dog now, so that's probably all from me today :-)

Thanks for stopping by and your lovely comments.  xxxxx
