Is that skeleton in the water? Is it a dinosaur?
It's a duck in the water,
and yep it's a dinosaur!

What do you mean?
Lantana! What's not to love? (I had to google the name of the flower, because we used to call ours "The fireworks flower," because of how the colors explode.)

Painted Sunday August 9, 2015 my Niece, Julie told me step by step what to do....first time on canvas....I think we were all surprised it turned out so nice....who knew Blond had it in her?

Wow, seriously wow! Have you ever seen what an elephant does with a paintbrush and canvas? They're better than I am.View attachment 133071

Wow, so you have a before and after photo? Does your wife mind if we see the before? (And, yes. I get it's not likely the same butterfly, but it could be.)
I've seen it from a distance, but from a distance it just looks like an ugly brown butterfly. You just taught me to look at ugly butterflies closer. Not so ugly. Very pretty. Thanks.i'm still chasing butterflies around my backyard, and trying to learn my wife's camera, which lets me be further away from the critters, so they're not spooked, but doesn't let me zoom in as closely.
it's amazing how many different species there are being fed just by the lantana!
i've never seen this one before today:

Just so people know art is from the imagination, and doesn't have to be qualified by talent or exactness, here's one of hubby's drawings. He made it after a fishing trip.

Can you tell how many fish were caught that day?
Yay, so happy I found an art thread! I love art
Here's some of mine. My style can be kind of all over the place![]()
Thank you so much!Those are ridiculously good! Loving the last one that's drawing color on itself lol. Nice work![]()
Wow! I had to look carefully to see if that first one was a photo or a drawing! I wish I had the imagination to even come up with the ideas for the second two. *If it's halfway recognizable with me, I'm drawing from a photo. lol) Is the fourth a drawing too, because how did you get the top so it doesn't look like thousands of pencil strokes? It looks like a real top! And the fifth one? If I had that much imagination and talent, that would be my avatar. I'm truly impressed. Do you draw as a profession?Yay, so happy I found an art thread!
