I think this one's going in the book! Bah! I love it!
Pastels are a great challenge for me... and I'm super intrigued by creating images on dark paper, As best I'm aware right now... pastels are the ticket for vibrant color. Or gel pens?
Thalia’s very early morning joie de vivre never ceases to amaze! As my own pedestrian interests are more common, I have to ask for the meaning of the petroglyphs around the zebra’s forefeet? Nia? Calliope? Grass?! Hummm. And besides, what is a “woodless” charcoal pencil? The charcoal isn’t charcoal? Or the wrapper isn’t like our oldie Ticonderogas?
Izzie and I heard a woodpecker that sounded like a machine gun as it pecked away at a dying oak tree. Unlike the very slow and deliberate whacking of a pileated woodpecker... I wondered if that equates with our getting a cup of caffeinated coffee or tea on rising??
Staying constant versus playing my edge is a great question. Constant = predictable is my usual thought. But my edge? Impulsive? Unbridled? Inspired? Helter-skelter! Reckless abandon. It’s a fine discernment, but important to avoid embarrassment.
Sincerely, thanks for stirring my brain! Far superior to peckity-pecking dead trees with my teeth.
All charcoal in a thin plastic wrapper -- three variations: soft, medium, hard. This is what happens when art supplies are 40% off on the one day I happen to pop in for oil pastels. 🤷🏻♀️
Better than a woodpecker peckity-pecking your house. Not that I'd know anything about that...
Years ago I helped a home owner whose home was indeed being pecked to pieces. Federal law protects almost all birds when nesting, so I advised the owner strongly to not insist I yank them out.
Plans were to sell the house in about four months. When the peck-ettes fledged I replaced all damaged siding, got the walls re-stained then draped all walls with orchard-like bird netting.
I offered to search for different colors of netting for a “Christo-like” effect. His installations were massive! No colors but the netting kept woodpeckers and squirrels from eating new holes. I struck my Christo installation 2 days before the property listed! 😉

(sorry, no quips on zebras I could find — who knew?)
With the dark background, the zebra has a ghost horse vibe to it! Oooo-EEEE-ooooo!

Christo -- ... known for wrapping famous structures in fabric and plastic.
Imitation is a high form of flattery? Even if its purpose is to deter woodpeckers?
