Sunday Sketches

Photo sadly lost...

Good morning and welcome to another fantastic Sunday Sketches!  Woot!  =)

As you can see from above, I'm playing around with hippos and trying to come up with a design/style that I like.  I'm definitely loving this one and am looking forward to painting it this week.

Happy SS!  I'm off to see what everyone else came up with this week.  Ta ta!

    How cute is this!!! I can just picture this in a little one's room too!!! This would make a great wall cling! (my boys love wall clings!)

    How are you my dear? Hope this finds you well and your father on the mend.

    You are certainly creating happy happy art!

    Smiles and hugs!

    Oh yeah, this one is lovely. Is it hippo's birthday? Has she just been to a party? She looks very content either way.

    I don't see my original comment... I think Blogger might have eaten it, so I'll leave another because I want to be sure you know how much I'm loving your hippos... and the balloon - brilliant!

    YAY HIPPOS! Every time I see a hippo I either think of the ballerina hippos in Fantasia or the game Hungry Hungry Hippos...lol! I have been playing around with new styles but by far I love this sketch of yours! Looking forward to the painted version.

    What a great hippo -and a musical mushroom?

    I missed this week - had sketches done but didn't have time to post or visit. Kept thinking I'd be able to sneak in a few minutes here and there but it never happened. Had a lovely 90th birthday party for my Dad!

    Love your little hippo! My *entry* is not a sketch anymore, it started out as a sketch of a bird and then I got carried away - deatils on my blog. But it was great fun, and even though it is not exactly a sketch anymore, I decided to enter it as this was the inspiration! Valerie
