This Guy Can Carry a Tune! – 4″ x 6″ Watercolor & Prismacolor Pen
Carry is the word this week for Illustration Friday. I am enjoying IF, because it makes me think outside the box. I painted this from a photo from Crispur (Christine) at WetCanvas. Christine lives in Australia and she had some great photos to paint from this weekend. I worked on Saturday, but on Sunday I got to paint some of them. Yay!
About Samuel Johnson
Samuel Johnson, the sharp-witted British essayist, wrote the first English language dictionary; his definitions still form the backbone of current dictionaries. He was born in Staffordshire in 1709. Johnson married a widow 20 years his senior and lived in poverty before achieving success with his essays when he was in his forties. Later in life, he befriended the young James Boswell, whose Life of Johnson became the quintessential English biography. Johnson died in 1784.
Yes, literally carrying his tunes, here! Fun!

You really do think out of the box all of the time. I would have never come up with carrying a tune for the word “carry”. Great job.
Ha!
The cheeks are great! …and I’ll bet it took a lot less time to paint them than that colorful kilt, Beth. Very Fun!!!!!
Nice!
Haha oops! And IF definitely is the reason I’ve come up with some of my crazy stuff, too. This guy is so funny! I love the multi-color kilt.
HA! On Illustration Friday’s site, I misspelled my own name. Who’s the Patker chick? he he he
