Taking time to draw is my happy place...life is so busy and chaotic these days! I love Arnold Schwarzenegger! I know him as an actor, not a politician! During his body building days, he had a very chiseled physique. I thought it would be perfect for this week's prompt. I drew this based on the photo I found during his Mr. Olympia and Mr. Universe days. I used ink and graphite pencils.
⬆️⬆️ I recently treated myself to a juicer too, I made a delicious carrot and apple juice!
On the video front:
⬆️⬆️ For Rain Frances Art, I recorded "Painting Therapy: Abstract Painting!"
⬆️⬆️ For Rain Frances Art For Kids, I have "How To Draw Marshmallows!"
⬆️⬆️ And I finally edited my video: "Harvesting, Dehydrating & Blending Garlic Scapes Into Garlic Scape Powder!!"

Daffy looks very flirtatious and your pizza delicious.
ReplyDeleteWe have a juicer here somewhere I bought a few years ago and never used! I am not even sure why we got it, since we prefer to eat our fruit and veggies whole. I suppose it was the allure of blending "odd" combinations. Maybe time for it to go!.
ReplyDeletewhat a great job and such an improvement for you! and a whole new floor to the house. way to go rain!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the figures Rain. I remember that fantastic photo of Arnold. Glad the basement wall is done,
ReplyDeleteWill the hole be sealed to prevent the mice? The pizza looks amazing.
Your construction looks amazing Rain. I bet you won't miss that garage door. And I love your real homemade pizza, all the way down to the cheese. I've been reading about garlic scapes and I am definitely adding them to my garden next year. Nice post today. Hope your week is going well and you have a great weekend. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteHello Rain,
ReplyDeleteLove your Daffy art, well done. Your pizza looks delicious!
I am scared to brush my grand-dogs teeth, I am sure they need a good brushing.
Your basement construction looks great. Take care, enjoy your day!
Daffy is looking particularly devilish and debonaire today!
ReplyDeleteI just gave my juicer away. I haven't used it in years and it is way too expensive to use here. All your hard work on the garage is done and looks great. Nice looking pizza for sure and I love the art. Don't study and work too hard. Leave some time for yourself.
ReplyDeleteDaffy looks sexy and your garage... great. Hmmm... the pizza!!!
ReplyDeleteYour sketch of Arnie turnd out really well, ook at all that muscle! Daffy Duck looks cute. Delicious pizza - it's mouth watering! And everything in it is homemade - wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHa, dear Rain, "our" Arnie, the "Styrian Oak" ;-DD - I only recently saw a film about his career. It's fascinating how this Austrian lad went from farm boy to Mr. Universe, from there to film star and from there to politician through sheer will and ambitious work on himself. I'm not sure if he was a good politician, but I can see that as a young man he had a body well suited for you to draw :-D Daffy Duck tries us on his own, highly personal way to impress. I'm also impressed by how patient your dogs are when brushing their teeth. And your new basement wall is also impressive - congratulations!
ReplyDeleteAll the best!

My figure is an elephant! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeletelove your drawings :)
ReplyDeleteHello Rain
ReplyDeleteYour summer has been very productive, you are busy between the renovation, art, YouTube, catching mice, and cleaning the juicer! I always enjoy seeing what you are up to.
Have a great weekend

Rain, the food looks very delicious. At last we prefer soup, especially Minestrone.
ReplyDeleteLove the Duffy 😘
Have a good week.
The basement door is beautiful. You must be so tickled to have that done. Your pizza looks delicious too, one of my favorite meals.
ReplyDelete...your pizza looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteLoosing it, Rain! I can't remember if I wrote a comment or not ~ lol. Getting rid of that big door in your basement wall is going to give you lots more functional space. It looks great. So does Daffy. And Arnold ~ you captured his face with a few strokes. Have a great weekend
ReplyDeleteWow. The pizza looks better than the ones on our TV screens. It's just missing a glass of puglia. The new wall looks so good, almost like a film set, the front of a showdown at the OK Corral maybe? LOL.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the basement project! That's some serious work! How nice to have that space and just in time for harvest!
ReplyDeleteA fun read from you today, as always. Good week to you! xoxo
ReplyDeleteRain - I took my car in for an oil change this week, and when they checked the air filter, they found a pile of nesting material - they showed it to me! Mice in the garage! They said to put Irish Springs bar soap in two places under the hood, and it keeps them out! Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteHi Rain I love the teeth video! I have a juicer, I had forgotten about it as we have little space it's in the garage! I love fresh beetroot or carrot juice. The new wall/door/window where the garage door was looks very professional.
ReplyDeleteI love your figure drawing, and the pizza looks divine. Congratulations on the home improvement. I am all for it.
ReplyDeleteIt would seem that I haven't posted a comment on your post ... I think I am losing it. Anyway, I love Daffy and the look in his eye is alluring ... hmmmm. I am impressed with your Arnold ... you seem to have the muscle mass down to a science. Like you, I loved his movies. I don't think I missed any of them. Your pizza Marguerite looks oh so tempting and delicious. I await the recipe though I am certain that none of my ingredients will be home made :( As for the juicer, I would love to do that, but fruit is so expensive now ... I may wait on that until the inflation is brought under control.
ReplyDeleteI watched your abstract video and it is amazing how simple you make it look, but the ideas have to come out of your head they way they did for you and I am not sure I could be that creative ... though I love the idea of the freedom and the relaxation. Maybe you should use Abstract as a prompt and see what we do with it :) You basement looks great and I am curious as to what you are going to do with it when it is all done ... a studio maybe? Anyway another lovely post, Rain ...

That pizza looks fabulous! Brushing your dogs teeth? Funny! The back of the house looks great! Hope you get a good week!
