Scribble Picnic - Tie it Up


Welcome to Michael's Scribble Picnic. The theme this week is 'Tie It Up'.  I had the idea to hang one of my son's ties on a nearby chair and create this vignette for you.  His real tie was actually purple.  My piece is done on cardstock (4 1/2" x  6 1/2") coloured with permanent markers.  It will be interesting to see how the other participants interpreted this theme!

Oh that reminds me of weddings.. trying to do up the groomsmen ties. Oh my. Such a challenge. And teaching our son too. Now hubby never ever wears a tie. He had enough.
Great idea and lovely painting.
Blessings

Ahh, the tie on the chair story. A rare sight in my house as my husband is retired and hasn't worn a tie in years. But, this is clever and well done, Christine and I agree, it will be interesting to see what others do. :)

Nice job. I thought about doing a tie, but went with a gift instead.

What could be better than a "Tie" on a chair...that where most men toss them....HaHa. The chair is really nice too.

Tammie Lee said...

Fun to use something meaningful to you. It looks great laid across the chair.

Great post. Thanks for sharing.

Serena Lewis said...

A tie is perfect for the theme, Christine...nice work!

Jennifer Rose said...

good job with the perspective on the chair :)

Michael said...

Ah, it's your son's tie! Looks like a school tie, actually, but he's too old for that. Anyway, as noted on your IG, a good take on the theme and nice to see enlarged to get a better look at the piece. Well done! Well drawn too. Thank you.

Michael said...

I've posted my colour version now btw and will be changing out the themes either tongiht or tomorrow, so stay tuned! :)

very cute, and a great idea!

A necktie, of course! Nicely drawn chair too.

I really like what you show here Christine - and to have a son who actually wears ties is wonderful! My hubby has a huge tie wardrobe and so misses his working life when he dressed up in suit and tie every day for 53 years!
