Panda Love

The love of a mother cuts across the animal kingdom: here the Mama panda is doting on the baby panda.

Animal Expressions


Aiming high ...

The best feeling for me is to be on top of the rock.

The Bear Necessity

A common feature of weekend sales brochures that we receive with our Sunday papers is discount coupon. Last weekend, we got a 40% coupon for any regular priced item and another 10% coupon for total sale, including items already on sale, from Jo-Ann Fabrics and Crafts, and another 50% coupon from Michaels Arts and Crafts, two competitors in the Arts supply business.

So we visited both stores on Sunday, and used the coupons to buy a Chinese brush painting book and a water color book, one from each store. And some of today's offerings are inspired by them.

Display of affection, panda-wise.

What a cute way to seek shelter, polar-bear-wise.

The Lotus, card-wise.

Panda chomping.

" Now stay put, I think I have found the last of whatever is inhabiting your head."

The lotus flowers, rice-paper wise.

Mindful Pandas

I can't seem to let go of my penchant for drawing pandas. So here's more, hopefully capturing their mindful moods as members of the sentient beings.

Mother and cub bliss.

Relaxing in their natural habitat and enjoying the loving kindness inherent within a family.

A cub dwarfed by its means of sustenance: a fully grown bamboo tree with baby shoots.

Sibling cuddling on a roof top?

Food mindfulness.

A rather determined look, mustering the final push to the summit.

Play mindfulness, if ever there is one.

Sauntering at ease, body-mind-envronment as one.

Pandas in various numbers

Today's Arts lesson focused on pandas, drawing them that is. Mrs. Fan, our Arts teacher, has even distributed colored copies of photos of life pandas from a chinese newspaper to help us understand their different postures: sitting morosely, eating heartily, and frolicking.

Now, pandas are known to be solitary animals. So I have drawn them either singly or twosome, except when space permits, but that also countable with the fingers on one single hand. So, here they are, the cutesy animals in my book. Those with light-colored background are photoshots as they are too large to be fed into the A4-sized scanner. Note that the bamboo leaves in the scanned drawings are golden in color, made from gold powder courtesy of our Arts teacher.

A twosome preparing to feast on what's at hand (or paw?).

A Mother panda vocalizing a birds and the bees lesson to the cub.

A sort of colony of pandas, their not-so-social nature manifest. According to Answers.com, a sloth is a company of bears. And this guy suggests a FIX for pandas.
A smiling panda exuding pride after having made the rock climbing (on fours mind you) conquest.

A threesome munching leaves. My Arts teacher likes the depth that the rows of bamboo trees seem to project.


Hey, I can do acrobats.

The Furry, the Winged, and the Finned

This week's arts lesson is on drawing the panda, the cutest of the bear's family with koala native to Australia perhaps a close second, at least in my book. The panda is synonymous with China, the country, and is often bestowed to friendly countries as a token of appreciation by the country.

From the panda, I ventured to others in the animal kingdom, from the winged to the finned. Here then are my renditions of some of the members of the animal world revelling in their habitats.

A panda in a human pose, or putting its body weight to good use to break the bamboo for a bite?

A goldish, eyes askance at the lotus flowers, in the shade. This is hubby's favorite.

A panda munching away, enjoying the fruit of its labor.

Tow birds, of disparate size, and mouths agog, seemingly waiting for something to fall off the sky, or simply overwhelmed by the abundance of fruits.

A pair of winged insects, busy being cross-pollinating vectors.
