Scribble Picnic - Finland/Scandinavian


Welcome to Scribble Picnic! The theme this week is 'Finland/Scandinavian'. My piece is an ACEO art card (2 1/2" x 3 1/2"), acrylic on canvas. The reindeer is a symbol of Finland, so I thought of using it here.  Whenever I draw animals I get this eerie feeling that they are so human like, their features.

Beautiful and majestic, Christine. Yes, animals certainly do have human features. I think your reindeer is looking at me.
Very nice work, Christine.

Christine said...

aww Valerie so glad to hear that.

animals do have that quality because they have two eyes and nose and mouth in the same place, you know. good take on the theme.

have a lovely day.

Love, love, love the eyes.

What a wonderful symbol. Great job, Christine!

Great take on the theme, Christine.

I totally understand...we are all a part of the animal kingdom, so it makes sense that we share so many similarities with the other animal species on the planet.

Ironically I hear they use it for meat quite often. Most Americans would be calling for the jailing of anyone caught killing a bald eagle, regardless of the reason, though I don't think it's a crime anymore once they stop becoming endangered.

Your drawing is lovely.
I thought a lot about reindeer for this theme too. But did something else.

I really love the canvass texture on this. Wonderfully done!

Who doesn't love a reindeer ... they are handsome and majestic and besides they pull Santa's sleigh :) This is a wonderful drawing, Christine. You have captured, as you said, a very human expression on his face (though I am guessing he would prefer not to be compared to humans :)

I have several reindeer as part of my Christmas decor - a pair of vintage red flocked velvet ones and a golden beauty which is standing on my coffee table. I love them and am enjoying seeing this lovely piece on canvas - great job Christine.
