Welcome to Scribble Picnic! It's a 'Grandfather Clock' theme this week. My piece is done on textured blue cardstock (8 1/2" x 11") in acrylic. I chose a Swedish grandfather clock design because I love its curves and simplicity.
this is lovely & I do like the design of the clock. I wonder now if people purposely choose the time or if you use a reference photo, use the same time as the photo? 6:20 mean anything to you? I usually chose the time that I like.
I knew immediately - before reading your words Christine - this had to be Swedish! I love their clocks, such elegant shapes, and your illustration is delightful!
I have to admit that even though I think I've seen a grandfather clock in this shape I did not know it was Swedish. Thanks for that bit of knowledge! You've created a lovely little scene there!
Like Lorraine, unlike Mary, I did not know this was a Swedish model but now I do! It is indeed lovely with the style and curves. Great colour combo too. Wonderful job, Christine. Thank you so much for your lovely addition! I learnt something new today in the process. :)
Christine, What an interesting clock! Did you make it up or see one like it. Unique. I love your background too - with the bits of yellow in the corners. Makes it look antique. Blessings Janis www.janiscox.com

Wonderful painting, love the simplicity of the whole arrangement. Hugs, Valerie
Lissa funny you should ask I used the actual time when I was painting the numbers in!
I love the shape of your grandfather clock. I almost used it in my illustration. I love the table and chair in the corner. Perfect~!!
Interesting clock. Perfect painting!

Great drawing and I love the shape of this clock.
What a lovely illustration! You did a wonderful job with the curves of the clock and the composition of the piece.
Ohhh, very nice.

That's a very well done sketch.
Nicely done!
I saw lots of these Swedish clocks as I was googling, Janis.
My husband's heritage is half Swedish, but I had no idea Swedish grandfather clocks were that shape. Thank you–now I know!
This is simply gorgeous.
Love the colour, love the shape, just love it!
All the best Jan
