I took some blobs to bed with me last night and a black felt tip. It being bed time when I painted my blobs, I wasn’t quite on the ball enough to remember to do them on watercolour paper so the paper has buckled and they lack the nice gravelly edges.

But it was a meditative and relaxing (but also kind of stimulating) thing to do, propped up by pillows in bed. Turning my page this way and that trying to find the hidden creature in each blob.

I found a few dogs who weren’t pleased with either their hairstyles or with each other. And one that has slipped on a banana skin.

Whoodle (poodle x wolfhound)

Beehive Hound

Bouffant des Flandres

Bulldog

Bulldog’s buddy

Schnighlander – (Giant Schnauzer x West Highland White Terrier)

oops

I found an overexcited squirrel.

Didn’t quite work

I found a princess escaping a fate worse than death, cloaked and riding on the back of a miniature elephant in the dead of night. (with faithful wire-haired miniature dachshund x schipperke – also known as a Whipperke-Dipperke)

I found a very surprised budgie on the head of a cranky sheep.

surprised budgie

I found a frisbee catching dog who needs to see an orthopaedic surgeon about his front legs.

This will not end well

I found a pug in a bad mood. I think he’s trying to tell me something.

grrrr

And I found a range of the usual birds and monstrosities.

What the? Elephant x rabbit…

So normal! What are you doing here?

Bird of Woe

This is the unmentioned chick from  ‘Owl Babies’   (‘I Want My Mummy… NOW!!!’)

And I found an overweight chick eating play lunch in the school yard.

munch, munch…. munch.

That reminds me, it’s lunch time.

I’ll add colour to some of these when I get a chance.
