Drawing challenge / Playing cards





Looking for a joker


As a child, i remember i always searched for the joker in a new 
pack of playing cards.

Lovely Ariane came up with this playful theme so 
please take a look at her wonderful blog for more.

Hope you all have a sunny weekend, here temperatures are rising high
and i will be working :( 
See you on Monday

    I am in love with the first images
    the colors of the old cards
    your drawings, just pencil lines
    so beautiful!
    your queens look so sophisticated
    love them!

    and like you
    I always look for the joker

    Oh, like me too looking first for the Joker!
    Dear Renilde,
    marvellous your Queens with a touch of humour! I giggle about Queen of spades's gesture. Something like a Scorpio...
    Wonderful even the Joker how he whirls the signs with a big smile!

    Thank you very much

    Love
    Ariane.

    four ladies and one joker - that's asking for trouble... ;-)
    wonderful, wonderful paintings - the queens clothes with the card emblems are beautiful and mr. joker looks a little bit cheeky... I like him!
    nice weekend - inspite of working! :-) mano

    Your Joker looks like he would be fun at a gathering! The Queens gowns are beautiful! I love them all, Renilde.

    Doesn't this painting look great on that table Renilde! Your work is awesome as always. I've just scrolled up to see what other players have said, and I have to say that I can't think of anything more appropriate to say about your great offering for us all. Brilliant. N. xo
