I found this week's word, SHADES to be the only easy one we've gotten since I started participating in the challenges 7 weeks ago...and believe it or not, I kind of like them harder! Bathing Bertha was actually a remake of a quick drawing I did last year, and rendered poorly in marker. I like this version much better! Hope you enjoy it! As always, I welcome your comments!
Your mission is complete as this picture makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say the exact thing that Katrin said in her comment!!! Wow - your mission is reeaalllyy complete :)
ReplyDeleteHaha..now those are some cool shades!!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, so cute. I didn't realize until I read the description that she is just beginning to turn pink. Sunscreen indeed! I love the bikini and the bright green cocktail! And the painted toenails. :)
ReplyDeleteBertha looks great! Really cute illo!
