Yes. That’s how far behind I am. These are Doodlewash prompts for the 2nd week of August!
The other thing of note is that I drew this with Zebra Pens Sarasa Clip Gel Retractable Pens (yes! You can use them like they were watercolor!) in a Hahnemühle Nostalgie Sketchpad (yes! Nostalgie paper now comes in PADS!) AND…

The Poem with Doodlewash Prompts italicized.
A paleontologist dances a jig,
A historic moment has occurred at his dig!
With tools of patience and shovel and brush,
He’s uncovered a fossil with bones uncrushed.
A creature with paddle-like flippers he’s freed.
The magpie thinks, ‘There’s nothing left for a feed!’
It laughs, his feet on the barbed-wire fence,
And decides that the dance makes little sense.

Thank you, Sandra! I was worried that the art might be too large, but so far the comments have been good!
I really like how your art is displayed in a larger format. And the magpie is perfect for the poem.
Thank you, Jackie!

Thank you, Alice! I wasn’t sure about the look – I was afraid the art might be too large, but so far people seem to like it.
Your whimsical poetry matches your whimsical art! A JOY!
It’s not too large…it’s BOLD and BEAUTIFUL!
