One of the biggest things I’m learning from all these art games is that I need to warm up. Just like in a figure drawing session, where the model changes positions every ten, twenty, and thirty seconds. However, even after so many sketches for this week’s project, I think I’ve exhausted the possibilities. You can thank me later for not posting the ten other drawings and stories that led up to this post!
It has also been like a thousand-piece jigsaw puzzle. The random words from the bag are so incongruous that even when I come up with something, that made a little bit of sense, it hasn’t resulted in great art. Basically, it is a whole bunch of warm up exercises. Fun, but not great art.
This week’s random prompt words were Blueberry, Willow Tree, and Crayon.

“Momma?” asked the little girl. “What happens if you plant a crayon and a blueberry?”

“You get a blueberry tree made out of crayons.”
The little girl thought for a second and then asked Momma “….And what happens if you plant…
“Willow, what are you getting at?
“I’m trying to get at a blueberry, crayon, Me tree.”
“A me tree?” asked the mother.
“Yes, a tree – a tree with my name Willow, but a tree.” The little girl gave a wide happy grin at her mother.
“I guess you get crayons that grow a blueberry, with willow tree sprouting from it?”
“Maybe,” thought Willow, “you get a crayon-colored Me Tree with a blueberry sun!”
And so we come to the end of week #3. Did that make any sense at all? It was a tough one.
I’ve already picked my random words. Ready? (I’m not.) Beach Glass, Rabbit, Circles
