Tuesdays With Tag - Feelin' A Little Artsy Fartsy...

Hi, Everybody!
This picture was taken last summer while we were travelin'. 
(Don't worry. No alligators in those northern waters!)

I had a busy weekend, but Mom didn't take pictures, if you can even believe that! Soooo, today, I'm gonna punt for my blog post. I gotta get me some more reliable help around here. I can't be expected to just post "selfies" every week, can I?
I was goin' through Mom's "Corgi Art and Posters" files and saw this cool picture again (by Norma Rowley). I got inspired. I came up with a little idea to try my paw at creatin' my own art.
What do you think? 
I used a watercolor effect in Mom's Photoshop Elements program and this is what I made. Mom liked it so much she put it up on the 'fridgerator. She said she might even have cards made! I guess she's partial to "artsy fartsy". hee hee
I think we have better pictures that we can play with though. I'm thinking somethin' more like this would make a better card. (Autographs available) See? This is what I play around with when I'm foolin' around on the computer.
Mom saves lots of Corgi posters and cartoons. This is one of my personal favorites.
...and this one, because it's a perfect guide to how Corgis are "set up".

'cept, I noticed that where it says "rub here"...yeah. I actually prefer if you move up right between my front legs. THAT'S the spot! Oherwise, I'd say this poster is pretty much right on.

It rained yesterday. I was in the car with Mom all day. We had big plans, but I reeeaaalllly don't like hangin' around outside in the rain. It makes my fur fuzzy. Not my best look. So, I guess I'll just have to wait until the rain stops and we can go out and do somethin' fun. Probably not today. Mom's makin' more wallets. 

By the way...Who can I call about those wallets? Mom just can't stop makin' 'em. It's like me and bacon. One little taste and I'm hooked. Gotta have more. Mom's obsessed with those wallets. grrrrr. I gotta figure out how to get her out of the studio so she can take me on an adventure or ten.

I'll see you in seven. 'til then...

  2. Tag! You look so handsome as a watercolor! I'm going to get Mom to print out your photos and hang them in my crate! As for me, you know, it's just snow, snow, snow. We're up to almost 3 corgis deep! XXOO from snowy Boston. Quinn
