SUNDAY POSTCARD ART - the theme for this week at SPA is 'chevrons', and here is my response to the challenge. May I introduce Sergeant Ted:
CHEVRONS
Here I show you Sergeant Ted,
Chevrons have really gone to his head.
His angularity is complete -
and I haven't even shown you his feet!
ARTIST'S PLAY ROOM - Over at Artist's Play Room, it's Jen's birthday this week, and she has asked us to make art about 'Birthdays'. What can be nicer than flowers and an unexpected birthday card? So here's a birthday card I have made especially for Jen with my painting of cyclamen - one of my favourite flowers.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEN
Lol I saw this come by on Google reader and just had to pop in and say how much I like that fellow at the top :) Is he single? Great art Jez!

Visiting from the APR - Such a gorgeous card! :0) Mo
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of painting on a photo like you did for the chevron guy. Also the cyclamens are beautiful. I like to have them in my widow boxes. xxx
ReplyDeleteFun Post Jez!! Sergeant Ted seems a bit like a mr, grumpy pants...maybe he he has cheveronitis!! The flowers are lovely!!

Thank you for your beautiful entry!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your beautiful entry!
ReplyDeleteLove the Cyclamen, beautiful flowersbut I never seem to have much luck growing them. What a gorgeous card for Jenn. :)
ReplyDeleteSergeant Ted has a pointy head. I love how even his nose has chevrons. That cyclamen is beautiful. I love the way they swoosh and the leaves have such great detail.
ReplyDeleteOnly you could think of using chevrons that way! Ted is brilliant... I'm curious about his feet now though!
ReplyDeleteLove the cyclamen too. So pretty.
Sergeant Ted is so well done...love the verse with him!! You're soooo clever, Jez!!!
ReplyDeleteTed is fab but I do love those cyclamen... I drew some for a Botanical Art Exhibition I was part of and they almost sent me mad, but i do love them, and I even have one on my table at the moment... hoping it cools down soon so that it survives... yours is simply lovely Jez...xx
ReplyDeleteThe cyclamen is so beautiful. They are everywhere here at the moment, although surprisingly I don't have one! I'll have to rectify that. I'm positive Jenn will adore this card...oh and Sgt Ted of course.
ReplyDeleteMissing entering APR but I hope to be back soon :D
chevrons - so much fun to see them used this way! Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteloving the chevrons on your quirky figure. Happy PPF, Annette x
