And RED it was!


This was fun. Thank you so much for participating.
As you will have seen, RAIN, is the next theme. 

Red certainly took your fancy and there are some wonderful interpretations of the theme below.




We start with Ann's fabulous frog - a red eyed tree frog - a native of Central America.
Watercolour.



Cynthia gives us two radishes - and their clever shadows - in watercolour. Very realistic!
Another watercolour above from Cynthia: the poinsettia (native of Mexico). Great stuff Cynthia.




This is largely coloured pencil from your blogger as an entry to a competition. The theme was 'home'. It got a special mention!






Maugie is trying her hand at watercolours.
They don't get much redder.
She revealed that this is her first attempt.

Keep going Maugie we look forward to seeing more work!
 This is by John. A watercolour, I guess? You have certainly captured the feeling of a breezy day.


Another work by John (in mixed media with pastel?)
A brilliant red cockscomb atop this fowl.


Above, Marcelle interpreted from the television footage the tragic fire at Notre Dame last year.
A very successful painting of a terrible event. She did this in oils.


Another watercolour and felt tip by your blogger. The red taxi and the flame trees behind were real attention getters.
Marie brings us a painting of a small statue her daughter gifted her years ago. The red heart on a red background just fits the theme. Well done.

 Maugie Viljoen found a moment of inspiration in these very flash red shoes. Great interpretation.
Maureen didn't go far to find her brilliant poinsettia - it was flowering in her garden. It's a great watercolour Maureen!




Your blogger again who has fallen in love with these heliconia  (sometimes called lobster claw plants). Polychromos pencils.

Robyn, we love this so much we stole it from Instagram. It's a great pix of Kalk Bay harbour.





John assures us that these penguins feed on pink salmon.
So do bears, John, but they don't become pink!






















And last but not least another watercolour from John. Luscious cherries - almost real ... from Klondyke, John?
