Illustrator Friday – Plain
Illustrator Friday has a challenge every week. This week is Plain. This is a plain plane of a plain of water which I think conveys plain. I hope you agree! Well, I just decided to add another painting too …. Illustrator Friday is a great way to showcase your work and a wonderful opportunity to meet lots of wonderful people! I encourage you to check it out! Lots of fun people and paintings!

Plain
Can mean simple
Which is often looked down on
But simple can also be clear
Wow!
Clear, understandable
Not garbled, to the point
Plain
What seemed to be an insult
Is actually a tribute
Wow!
Fancy and adorned
Is often preferred
But natural often
Works much better
And may be more beautiful
Wow!
Plain .. a different eye.

More wonderful bubblescapes! I love the bubbles disappearing into the horizon, and the intense pink one too.
(BTW, it’s “Illustration” Friday…not illustrator.” )

I love this one! I love the horizon across the bubbles!! They are so clear and imaginable!! Thanks for the great work and the lovely poem!!!

Both the seascapes are beautiful, but I am always drawn to the seascape with the single bubble. It seems to have a purpose as it hangs so silently there over the sea. Is it a messenger or a scout?

Beautiful digital work! I’m still fumbling in this dept. The poem and image are marvelous! Keep up the great work!

I like the plain plane! I am also glad you made another piece in those colors I adore, the second one. Nice work!!
The first one is a great challenge. It’s hard for me to just make something plain, and this works so stunningly.

You are very clever to use the bubbles so expressively! Like the poem too.

I wondered what you would do for plain! I think you did well. I like the simplicity of the first one, straight to the point as you said though not at all boring!

How can one make a bubble say something? I don’t know the answer to this but you do because you have said “plain” in two different ways.
