Olde English Sheepdog

#WorldWatercolorGroup

I haven’t really had much time for painting this month… I haven’t really had much time to do anything, actually, but sometimes time just has to be made.

Charlie’s adventure this month is Share Your Favourite Things, and as I’m still in August (I’m still in August? I am!) I thought I’d create a very quick painting of one of my favourite dogs… an Old English Sheepdog. I just love ‘em! Floppy fur and everything! Not that my painting shows that much floppy fur, I hasten to add, but the idea’s there.

I also like anything Old English to be spelled olde worlde style (it has something to do with my Inner Traditionalist!), so I named this painting Olde English Sheepdog.

Will I paint again before the month is out? Only time knows. If not, there will be another adventure along next month, so then I may be able to be a little more creative.

Feeling creative yourself? Visit Charlie’s blog on the link above to find out more details, and then join the World Watercolour Group!

    I agree with the Olde English spelling. I’m not sure if you were trying to paint him/her in a whimsical way but it brought a smile to my face. I think you should paint more. But, like me, time is always getting away.

      A smile is all I ask, Isadora. Thanks! This was just a quick dabbing of paint after a quick sketch… I liked the whimsical result.

        Thanks, Tom… I let them know. I submitted a bug and have been working with them, but they can’t seem to track down the problem. Thanks for rescuing me though!

          Oops – that didn’t work. Sorry, Charlie, I had to rescue you again! 😯
          They seem to not want as many examples now, so hopefully they’re working on a fix. Time will tell!

              Just rescued you again, Charlie… I didn’t know whether to leave this comment in the spam folder so they could do their checks, but the system learns whenever comments are marked as ‘not spam’ , so my logic told me that if I didn’t mark you as not spam, then it may think your comments ARE spam and we can’t have that. These glitches are quirky, aren’t they? 😀

                Good to know… it’s not actually “learning” then so there’s a glitch. I’ll let them know!
