Gloria J Zucaro's "Let's Go Bowling!"

Original Ink design with watercolor pencil
 5"H x 7"L watercolor cardstock greeting card w/envelope.
May be framed in 5x 7 or 8 x 10 frame with or without mat. 
See this in my Daily Paintworks Auction.

This is my entry in Jennifer Mclean's The Artist's Playroom.  http://www.justaddwatersilly.com/search/label/APR

Our prompt for the week is any type of series of objects/people/animals?!  I finally thought of these bowls that I have had for a few years now and they are still in perfect condition.  I love them because of their wonderful colors of blue, green, red, pink, orange and yellow. They are made of a very heavy plastic called Melamine.  This year they updated the colors, but I like these colors better. The large blue one can hold ten cups(plus) of freshly popped corn!  The tiny yellow one holds about a half cup of nuts or raisins, etc.
I used my Derwent Inktense Watercolor Pencils, a #3 Micron black ink pen and a white gel pen.
Get on over and see the rest of the series!

  1. I love your series of bright bowls. Nothing nicer than things in bright bowls and you used Inktense pencils. They do give a great strong colour. I can't wait to try mine :)

  12. What a great idea, Gloria. I love the way your bowls came out. They remind me of my wife's grandmother's set of Fiesta style Pyrex bowls that we now have. I should pull them out and do a painting of them to make prints for the family. Have a blessed weekend!

  13. I have a thing about nesting bowls... They bring back memories of rummaging through Mom's cupboards when I wanted to bake something. Beautifully done and love all the colors. :) Warmly, Tracy

  14. What a great drawing! Reading the comments, the drawing sure brought back a lot of memories for folks. As for me, my nesting bowls are clear so not nearly as cool to draw and your colorful ones. It's a great idea beautifully executed!

  15. Sorry I am late this week Gloria... and I love the bowls... got to have bright bowls I think and these colours look like they would match my palette perfectly... I have these gorgeous nest of mixing bowls that are the softest eggshell blue with a cream inside, but they always end up staying in the cupboard and I use my old faithful... funny how habits form isn't it...xx
