Hello everyone .. most of you know me but if you do not ...my name is Kim and I will be hosting this weeks Draw Challenge ...The images I have here are ones out of my favorites so I hope you enjoy .

First two images were taken by Judyvan ...I just love these photos Thank you judy .

Wonderful selection and beautiful pics. I can hardly wait to get home and try one. That is... if life doesn't blindside me again.

Beautiful pictures this week Kim..

I thought I would try a quick sketch of those beautiful birds....thanks for the challenge.

I look forward to the drawings this week.

Brian.

Really great birds, Brian!

Dang Brian .. a quick sketch .....wow you did a really great job

Here are three I have done the peppers and the curtin and glass are done in trading card size .

Brian, pretty birds

Wow, Kim.... You're fast... Good job!

Great birds, Brian.. And Kim, that is wonderful crystal. Beautiful colors..

I started working on the crystal a week ago .. so it took a bit longer to do ...I had to block out all the different distraction from the other colors bouncing around so it was a very hard challenge for me .

Brian, Those birds are wonderful!

Kim, yours are all great, and the crystal is fantastic. I wouldn't even know where to start on that one!

Everyone did such a great job! I just hope that you all like mine.
It's not that great, but I like it. I hope you all like it too!

Nothing wrong with yours at all ..very nice job ..

Great pictures, Kim! I brought my sketchbook along when I brought Danielle to school play practice tonight, and so I had an undisturbed hour to draw this one:

Who is this cutie pie?

I'm in for the blue jays. I have them almost done. I put them on blue paper and need to add the snow tomorrow. But I want to take pictures first just in case I totally wreck it.

Slim

Ernest one hour to draw .. wow fantastic !

Slim your blue jays are beautiful.

The secret... is that I punted on the hair!

Fantastic drawing of the birds Slim!

Thanks Kim and Brian.
Slim

whats punted ?

You know in football, if the offense is at the fourth down and is too far away to score, they can punt (kick the ball to the other team) instead of running a regular play. Some folks use "punt" to mean something like "give up in a hopeless situation". Like that hair, in an hour

I tried the birds this time... here they are.

Fine job
Slim

Thanks Ernest .. I do not watch football ...but now that you say that I think I have heard it yelled from another room lol .

Beautiful job Jazz !

Fantastic!

I just had to try the birds. But I realy had to study to my final eksam at the same time, so I couldn't put more work in it than this. I don't have a scanner either, so the quality isn't perfect. But it was realy fun. Don't think I have drawn birds before. Any coments or advices are welcom!

(They are much nicer in original, so I'l try to find a scanner and add it again)

WOW Beautiful

Looks like a black and white photo nicely done
