Welcome to Scribble Picnic! The new theme is 'Exploration'. I did a greeting card (4 1/4" x 5 1/2") in permanent marker, acrylic and PITT fine point marker. It is based on a photo of the Yangtze river in China that my sister sent to me while on a cruise there. She said the river was polluted and smelly although people were still swimming in it. Hopefully it was nicer as they went further down it.
Great art
ReplyDeleteFantastic drawing! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteNice painting.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Beautiful piece Christine...love the colors you chose.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and an interesting background story to it. Thanks Christine :)
ReplyDeleteI love the perspective Christine, very nice!
ReplyDeleteNicely done!
ReplyDeleteYes, nicely done!
ReplyDeleteKind of sad that there is so much pollution in China.
ReplyDeleteWonderful sketch, Christine! I’ve heard the Mekong River is also badly polluted. Beware of buying Basa fish/fillets as, more often than not, they come from China’s polluted rivers. I watched a program warning us about buying Basa fish a few years back.
ReplyDeletethat doesn't seem like a bad view. nicely done.
ReplyDeletehave a lovely day.
I'm sure your sister will be thrilled to have provided you with such great inspiration. When I saw this on Instagram I wondered where the bridge was - I was so off. I was thinking Australia! This makes a lovely card.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting!
ReplyDeleteA very nice piece Christine :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
A really lovely sketch, Christine, and well cropped too. Love it...but I might forego any dipping there! Ha.
ReplyDeleteyour piece works really well for the theme :)
ReplyDeletemore likely to be worse down river :/
Christine,
ReplyDeleteI'm visiting from the Scribble Picnic meme, exploring bloggers participating in the art challenge. I hope to get onboard with y'all to enjoy some fun doodling. Your card turned out nice and how nice to draw inspiration from a photo your sister sent you. It's nice meeting you. Have a blessed evening!
Sadly most of those rivers are polluted Christine and it's not surprising when one views just what goes on in them! Aspects of everyday life where we are so used to sanitation and cleanliness, is mostly done in and on the banks of those rivers. The only really clean place with crystal clear water and no pollution, is Antarctica. I saw it and felt it, in the air as well as the water.
ReplyDeleteGreat piece here - love your choice of colors.
Sorry I'm late visiting - was away in the Pacific Northwest and Canada!
Thanks for your lovely comment Mary, lucky you, Antarctica.
