Fancy Flamingos

A flamingo in watercolor, 4×6.

And the same flamingo in pastels, 4×6

I haven’t used pastels in years, made a thorough mess of myself!

Thanks to the person who added the photo to the WetCanvas Reference Image Library. This was part of the miniature forum’s monthly challenge.

WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge ~ Close

The theme for this week’s WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge is “close” as in being near emotionally pr physically not as in “Close that door! You’re letting the heat out!” . If you grew up in Canada, or any other cold climate then you’ve probably heard that a few times.


Anyway. These are from the Saint Louis Zoo. Which since I named will cause every spammer out there to send me spam comments calling me “Louis”. The filters catch them but they’re always entertaining reading nevertheless.

Friendly flamingos.

Proximious penguins.

Happily hemmed in hippos.

Close Cuties.
