Bear, Cloud and Book, take 2. Those were the visual-artists-word-prompts from last week. I might even need a third and fourth week to make this really and truly worth posting. I like the idea of putting random words together to get ideas for all kinds of artistic endeavors. However, I think I need to redesign my output.

In the end I don’t think the bees are acceptable what my daughter needs, but now I’m getting a better handle on how to draw them.

They seemed so mundane and obvious. However, once again, as I got started, I got into a roll and couldn’t stop. It must be instant gratification, nothing to complex, just mindless easy drawing. Here are some simple efforts, quick, down and dirty.
