I have this thing for clocks...and birds....and the moon! Since the theme for Creative Tuesday is moon, I thought it would be fun to use them all! The moon that rotates around the face of a clock is especially appealing to me, so this one was really fun to draw.
8.5 x 11", black ink and colored pencils

ReplyDelete(red dye has a huge effect on my grandchild)
Wow you used them all this time
ReplyDeleteEven got your name in the clock chime
Very nicely done
And of course use time was fun
As you know why
Strat is all I'll say on this try..haha
Red dye you say
Hmmmm never knew that did those kinds of things, learned something new today
This is wonderful! So much talent!
ReplyDeleteChristine ~ couldn't decide where to put my name! ha.
ReplyDeletePat ~ haha...yep, for you!
ReplyDeleteBecause you're on a countdown, too!
Red dye doesn't bother some
but for others makes their parents glum. lol...
My name I had to share
and needed to put it somewhere
so on a banner it did go
not on the bird, but just below.
Guess I was blind
ReplyDeleteOr too busy rhyming off my behind
But just noticed the numbers were more of an hour thing too
Interesting way to make time come due
betsy, this is gorgeous...love the old clocks as they have a lot of personality...as does yours...lovely...
ReplyDeleteBrian ~ thanks...the love of old clocks..in our genes perhaps? ;)
ReplyDeleteSpent a little extra time on this one...wasn't feeling good enough to do anything but sit at my desk anyway! ha.
Pat ~ I threw you a bit?
ReplyDeleteNow don't have a fit! ha.
the top numbers are the days of the month
in case you didn't have a hunch. :)

ReplyDeleteYou need an artisan to create THAT clock for you Betsy!
ReplyDeleteWonderful drawing - such a creative combo of all of your favorites. Also, interesting about the red dye in foods. Good to know.

ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful drawing, Betsy! It would be a perfect book illustration as it is so beautifully detailed.
ReplyDeleteI love your drawing Betsy, it's wonderful. You really do wear so many different hats don't you! You're an amazing Mum, a wonderful writer & story teller, photographer, cook, a magnificent and very dedicated blogger & an artist. Just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteKatherine ~ aw, thanks. And you know dear Kath, I could say the same things about you...you wear all of those hats yourself and do it so very well!
ReplyDeleteLove it! i can't draw and I admire those who can...
ReplyDeleteYou really should write a children's book, illustrate it, and submit it to a real publisher. There are home school moms looking for wholesome reading for their children.
ReplyDeleteDo it, even if it takes three years or more.
Wow this is fantastic!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic and so beautifully done. Must have taken ages.
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely fabulous drawing! The detail is meticulous and it's so charming and makes me smile. Beautiful!
