From Sunday Sketches in pencil on paper

To a fun and fancy colorful caper

It's Old King Cole that merry old soul

Whimsical, jolly and not one bit droll!

A close up view is he looking at you?

The King is complete a royal feat.

hmmmm...what next?

If you had to choose...the next rhyme that debuts

Which from these 3 would it be?

Hickory Dickory Dock

Rub-A-Dub-Dub

Jack and Jill

Sunday Sketches...Nursery Rhyme Time Continues With Old King Cole

With four colorful characters in my Pop Art Minis Nursery Rhyme Collection, I've decided to keep row, row, rowing my boat gently down the nursery rhyme stream with the addition of a royal character...inspired by a suggestion from a Facebook Friend (thanks John) and in honor of the most recent Royal event...you know the one!  So in true Sunday Sketches style...my submission for this week... and a first look, sneak peek of the man beneath the crown...a merry ol' soul from head to toe!

Little Bo Peep...Colorful Fun, But Still Looking For Her Sheep!

Little Bo Peep   by Joni Nickrent   copyright 2011

Little Bo Peep is still looking for those sheep, but I'm sure they'll come home soon...as the rhyme goes, "wagging their tails behind them." 

Popping with color, big wide eyes...

golden locks, straw hat and cane....

 Little Bo Peep is definitely not plain!

Now that Little Bo Peep  is finally done.

Have any suggestions for more Rhyme Time Fun?

The Adventures of Mother Goose...She's On The Loose in The World of Pop Art Mini

Come join me on an adventure...full of rhyme time fun

Humpty Dumpty, Little Miss Muffet...soon something for everyone.

It's the Adventures of Mother Goose and all  her amazing friends

It's the world of Pop Art Minis...sometimes make believe and pretend

Filled with magical characters, some mixed up turned around.

But always "popping" with color and definitely smile bound!

So if you'd please allow me, I'd like to share with you

My Pop Art Minis version of Mother Goose, it's true!

From Start To finish!

Little Miss Muffet...From Sunday Sketch To "Pops of Color"

Little Miss Muffet    by Joni Nickrent    copyright 2011

Little Miss Muffet makes her colorful debut

"Poppin" with color in shades of pink orange and blue

Her long golden locks and floral print dress

Are perfect and neat not one sign of a mess.

But that silly spider with the tiny top hat

Will soon sit down and change all that

And Miss Muffet will be off her tuffet in a flash

Running away...the Nursery Rhyme dash!

From Sunday Sketch to colorful completion!

I'm really enjoying this Rhyme Time fun!
Here's a peek of another sketch I've begun!
Can you guess who she is?

Sunday Sketches...Little Miss Muffet...Rhyme Time Fun!

Little Miss Muffet   by Joni Nickrent   copyright 2011

Sunday Sketch time has rolled around again...and it seems a Nursery Rhyme mood I'm definitely in.  With Humpty Dumpty making his egg-citing debut on Saturday today Little Miss Muffet has joined us on her tuffet, it's true!

She's a big eyed cutie with a bit of a problem

Yes, the spider's arrived...like a big bad globlin

A tiny little scream you might just hear

But keep your eyes open, just cover your ears

Because I hope you'll take a look, catch a sneak peek

of Little Miss Muffet, my Sunday Sketch for this week!

Hoping to add some colorful finishing touches to this drawing today!

Wishing you a day filled with FUN Surprises and baskets full of Goodies!
