Seascapes & Whimsical Palm Trees
Yesterday and today, I created two seascapes with one whimsical palm tree per painting … both are going to be the “background image” for one of my seascape tea party graphics I have planned. I already have scanned a few of my faery mushroom ladies … I have a few flowers ready to insert … no tea cups, tea pots or Mad Hatter nor Cheshire Cat Grin yet … yeppers … as you can guess … Alice in Wonderland and that magical tea party are what is inspiring this series of faery tea party at the seaside.
I think I am probably about 2-3 weeks away from having everything I want for the first let alone the second in the Sea-side tea party at the beach with whimsical palm trees.
Maybe I will go work on a cheshire cat grin now … that sounds like a fun thing to do just before going to bed for the night! I gotta re-read the story … it has been YEARS since I read the book! I love my adorable drawing of The Red Queen’s Spy though as well as both the back ground images I have created so far! I had something else in mind until yesterday for the background and these just appeared on my paper. This is a really fun series to paint! I have no idea if I will be painting the entire Cheshire Cat or just it[’sgrin … the grin part is easy … it is the entire cat that might be way out of my capability! Time will tell … I make no promises … but it has always been the grin that inspired me to love that Cheshire Cat! but …. the tail is marvelous too … maybe I will have to find the tail swishing around at the beach!
I started my next free project ebook … made the images … now I need to write the steps that go with them and create the pdf … my goal is to do it by the end of this coming week-end … any time before then would be a bonus! Getting my hair cut tomorrow so not sure how much painting I will get done … but perhaps one little mushroom or palm tree will find it’s way onto my drawing table.
