In the classic children’s tale, The little red hen finds some wheat seeds and decides to grow them and make bread. At each step, planting through baking, she asks the farmyard animals for help, and they all refuse. When the bread is finally made, those same animals come asking to share, but the hen refuses to so and is proud of herself for doing all the work.

#DoodlewashMay2024 prompts:Food Mixer, Red, Sunshine. Valley
Did you know the hard-to-melt tropical bar’ of chocolate issued in WWII were deliberately made to be high in nourishment, but have little taste so troops would be more likely to keep them for emergencies? The mix of foods in it - Chocolate liquor, skim milk powder, cocoa butter, powdered sugar, vanillin, Vitamin B-1, oat flour. My father loved those bars! He was a faithful Hershey fan for the rest of his life because he so appreciated the candy bars he had while on Iwo Jima.
I’m doing a series of four 14 x 18 paintings for a Hahnemuehle trade show, which is part of the reason I haven’t been posting often of late. I’m almost done, but working on the reviews that are the other reason for not posting often. I hope to be back to my daily postings soon. Or at least posting more often.

#DoodlewashFebruary2023 prompts: Bookshelf.
For some reason I never got around to sharing the storybook I did for my hubby’s Christmas present (not published). The rest to come. Honestly, I hate this book. I worked on it for three years because I just wasn’t feeling it, but he loves the Diggory character, so I kept on and I’ll probably do more of them. It was very forced, all work and no love, except the love of doing something I don’t like because my hubby does.

Did you know that lantana may be beautiful, but it is toxic to humans and livestock, and since it grows aggressively and densely, it is considered a weed in many areas?
I did this very quickly and small (3 1/2 x 4 in), so I kept it pretty abstract. I want to do something like this again when I have time to work larger and more detailed.
