Flo’s Blue Point

This evening I went out with my sketch club and we sketched Flo’s in Blue Point. Flo’s has grown from this location, to three locations and a food truck. Flo’s BP is a popular summer spot and we sketch there every year.

I wasn’t sure if I was going to get this sketch in….the sky looked ominous but we never got the rain. Kitty made her appearance at Flo’s….

Kitty and The Scream

This kitty was completed with three colors, blue, red & yellow, and black and white. I chose “The Scream” because I thought it would be humorous using cats. The triad color idea was today’s prompt from Carla Sonheim’s 365 days of prompts and ideas. The idea was to use red, blue and yellow. “The Scream” was the perfect idea. What I learned from doing a “master copy” was the Edvard Munch most likely used the same three colors, plus black and white to do his painting. That was today’s Eureka for me.I also forgot to post last week’s weekly page of doodles in yesterday’s post. I am posting it hear today.

Serendipity kitty

Today’s kitty is a lesson in Serendipity. In the world of an artist, serendipity means several things. Aside from being at the right place at the right time, serendipity also applies to the “happy accidents that occur in our work. We’re plugging along on a piece and something happens to alter the work. Paint spills, water droplets cause “blooms,” you are inking something and the pens skips on the paper, etc.At that moment, the artist can see their art in a different way and a “eureka!” happens. Some of the greatest accomplishments were caused by serendipity or a happy accident.Today’s kitty is meditating in front of a background that is an intentional serendipity piece. Many thanks to Carla Sonheim and the Rightbraininess daily prompt, for the word, serendipity.
