swamp



It's a Friday episode of Illustration Friday on Saturday!  This week's prompt is "swamp".

I have been a self-indulgent indulger today.  It's a day off for me and the first day of spring break for the kids.  In like fashion, I slept in, took a leisurely walk with the dog and Magnum (who is also indulging), did some recreational reading, and painted this bullfrog.

If I'm going to have a day in the life of a princess, I may as well have a prince too.

Every princess deserves a prince. ;) I'm glad you self-indulged today. It seems like you deserve it after the rough experiences you had the other day.
How's the weather for your spring break? Ours was awesome here, but back to rain today.

You know what they say about finding your prince. Sometimes you have to kiss a lot of toads....

Nice frog, if not a wee bit psychedelic.

Agg thinks your frog is psychedelic! And my only thought was how much I loved all of the color!

Nice to hear you enjoyed a leisurely day. Enjoy spring break!

Well, Princess, your frog is so cute, er, sorry, Prince.

For a day off you got a lot done. When I say I have a day off I mean all I did was veg.

Abby said...

Yeah, I think I hit the wall. Friday was a gift. And the weather is perfect! (so far)

Abby said...

I thought the psychadelics came from just toads? Maybe I should kiss them too.

Abby said...

Thanks Terri. I was thinking I'd just do a pencil drawing this week, but when I decided to do a frog, it had to be in color.

Thanks, fellow painter!

Abby said...

Wow, such great colors! Perfect frog face, too. They always look slightly annoyed! Those shapes and colors behind him are really cool.

oooh, such a wonderful frog!!

I would not have expected "blue," to be part of the frog's body and habitat, but it workin'. :)

Glad you had a good day. I like those kind of days.

Anita said...

Did I say, "it workin'". That's what happens when you try to use a little slang. And, when you need to go to bed. :)
