They are generally solid muted colors, with little or no embellishment whatsoever.<br /><br />I accomplished this concentration project by using motor strokes on the bottoms of the cups only. This way every time Mom scoops something she will be reminded that creativity resides in the kitchen too.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/738750392957698705-319291401063787173?l=charlottedraws.blogspot.com'/></div>Jacnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738750392957698705.post-90827679524805484432007-09-22T12:39:00.000-07:002008-12-12T00:33:37.203-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f1iBbCrSTzw/RvVvisffN3I/AAAAAAAAACE/SMs7hdgguZ4/s1600-h/4ever.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f1iBbCrSTzw/RvVvisffN3I/AAAAAAAAACE/SMs7hdgguZ4/s320/4ever.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5113115593798530930" /></a><br /><p> This is part of the ongoing couch series.

This was pretty much my favorite gift. My parents got me an easel to practice on. As you can see I am making good use of the supplied paper. But if you look closer you will notice that the easel is not just a tool, but an interesting substrate as well.<br /><br />Some people color outside of the lines. I don't even stay on the paper.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/738750392957698705-8089189772221111800?l=charlottedraws.blogspot.com'/></div>Jacnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738750392957698705.post-23860510840042553002007-04-26T14:17:00.000-07:002008-12-12T00:33:38.115-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f1iBbCrSTzw/RjEXHs1SIjI/AAAAAAAAABg/CUDpFcDQ_RI/s1600-h/DSCF0372.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f1iBbCrSTzw/RjEXHs1SIjI/AAAAAAAAABg/CUDpFcDQ_RI/s320/DSCF0372.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5057849277574947378" border="0" /></a><br />This was an experiment in composition.
