I remember when I was young while visiting my grandma on her farm in Nebraska, I heard a dog barking. He was causing such a ruckus. I ran out to see what the heck was going on. Well, to my surprise what did I see?.....none other than Larry, Curt's long-horned little cousin with three green horned owls sitting on his horns! Yikes!.....an me with out a camera. Good think I have a great memory. hehe........
Well you have probably already figured it out, today is Teapot Tuesday . It is all about owls, in case you were wondering why the gallery was full of them.....my card....
I drew the bg on a white cs panel, sponged the hills, colored the rest with w/c pencils no water. Drew Larry and the green horned owls. The German shepherd is from CHF. You see, Marie, who is our destination station, once had a German shepherd so I thought it would add a special touch to the card. Hope his barking doesn't keep her up! hehe Oh, colored Larry with w/c pencils no water, green horned owls and German Shepherd with copics.
Popped up parts of the critters when I put them on the scene. Layered with black cs then put on a green card.
Well that is pretty much it. Hope your day is going well. It is getting dark and stormy looking out side. Rain is a comin'! .........TFL :0)

Ha ha! Before long we are gonna have all the owls forget the coveted branch for a chance at Curt's cousin and his long ole horns! And don't think I didn't notice the german shepherd even before I read it in your commentary! I know where you were headed with that! Ha! This is so very precious! Everything Marie will love and what a fun childhood *story*! Giggle! You da bomb!
Hi Sis...what were you doing when your sis was looking out the window at the ruckus!!

Green horned owls with demonic eyes. I think they have a plan to achieve lift off with that long horn relative of Curt's. They're all gripped on waiting to take off.

OMG... horns o'plenty in this pastoral scene! Who needs a camera when we get to see where your mind's eye takes you each week. Love Larry and the three greenhorns... wouldn't that make a cool name for a jazz trumpeter and his band!

Well - I'd say this is NOT a scene you might see every day out on the old farm! How wonderful that you got to witness it! The owl's look very happily perched on these long horns! what a fun card for Marie!

WONDERFUL!! Another great "Curt" card and a cute farm story. Really great drawing, too. Love that you included a German Shepherd for Marie - a hearfelt touch. Marie will love this truly fanstastic card.
