It's Creative Tuesday! All flavors and push-ups too!



Ice Cream man!!!!!!!! Ice Cream!!!!!!!! 
There's still something about the ice cream truck coming down the street that just makes me lose it like a five year old.
So when Mr. Toast's Creative Tuesday challenge was "Ice Cream", I just had to take a bite!
At first I wanted to draw an ice cream truck, but it kept on coming out looking like an ambulance. And it was more detailed than my skill set could handle. So I settled on a simple grape Popsicle, because it's my favorite flavor and I had a purple crayon handy.
The above picture is my humble submission. I used a Ticonderoga #2 pencil, an eraser ( lots of eraser) and Crayola crayons. I think it's pretty sweet.
Take a peek at Hot Toast and Jam for past and future Creative Tuesdays.

    Love it. Yes Dr. Oz talked about brain freeze one day. I tried his remedy and it works. I get one everytime I have a frozen margaretta.

    Love it, love it, love it, Rene! So funny and well done too I might add. TY for playing along on this one. So great to have you back with your coloured pencils too.

    this was great. It will look fun in the montage.

    BTw, you will note I avoid complicated too. Oh no, trucks are way too hard--trucks of any kind. lol

    I think the challenges should be fun to do - and yours clearly was! It's summer, why complicate it with a truck?? Let's just keep it simple, fun, bright! :)

    Hahaha, I think he has a little more of an issue than a brain freeze... more like hey who bit my head? You gave him a great expression!

i don't like eggs but you knew this already i know you're thinking such a terrible waste but it's not, you see i'm feeding them to the dog she loves them just as much as i know she loved you and the way you walked her as if every single thing she sniffed mattered to you as well sorry, dear pardon my red wine opera crowd violin string tugging (your words) i ramble at breakfast like a fussy percolator but you knew this already morning is when i am most honest and vulnerable i know that's why you left after dinner oh god dammit you i miss you so much what i did before us is a mystery and what i do now is insanity i'm frying up eggs just to smell them again and to perhaps coax you down, from wherever you are for breakfast did you know i believe that there is still a ghost of a chance Rene Foran ~  April 2011 photo by Tess Kincaid for Magpie Tales click for more info
