Art Date: This week’s art prompt is Ladders
Welcome to Thursday Art and Dinner Date! This week’s optional art prompt is Ladders! Bugs Bunny is imitating Belle from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast this week. I remember the first time I watched that movie and dreamed of having a huge library like the one in the movie! I always thought those library ladders were so cool. I drew Bugs with markers and I used a royalty-free background that I found on Pixabay. To make the background look painterly, I put it through a blurred oil painting filter in Photoshop.
3D Ladder (Trick Art)
This week I tried drawing some trick art. I love this style of drawing! The 3D ladder is pretty cool as long as you have the right angle of your camera to see the effect. This was so simple to do, why don’t you try it? Here’s the post where I show you how to do it!
The real-time drawing lesson is on my YouTube channel Rain Frances Art, if you’d like to follow along! For a list of my real-time and time-lapsed art lessons, please click this link: Rain Frances Art – Drawing and Painting Lessons.

Rain Frances Art For Kids! Miss Purple Hippo
This week I also drew a cute little hippo for my YouTube channel Rain Frances Art For Kids! I drew this with markers. Does anyone remember the game Hungry Hungry Hippos? Flashback to my childhood!!

Dinner Date: Apple Crisp with Oats
For our dinner date, I made comfort food – apple crisp with oats (click on the link for the recipe page). This is melt-in-your-mouth goodness! The apples are so soft and tender and the topping is sweet and crunchy.
Here are the video instructions for the Apple Crisp:
That’s all for now folks! Please join us again next Thursday for Thursday Art and Dinner Date! Next week’s optional art prompt is: “Eggs”. If you’d like a heads-up, here is a list of all of the art prompts for 2024.
Hello Rain,

All the best Jan

Thanks Jan! ♥
Love Bugs too, dear Rain it’s funny. Have a wonderful weekend.
Hugs by Heidrun
Thanks Heidrun! ♥♥ Bugs had a lot of fun this week I think! ☺
Gotta love Bugs! Did I miss that jump to your recipes last wee? Very cool, since you have recipes I want to try. I been doing very basic cooking while in Honolulu, so I’m looking forward to getting back to my own kitchen. Cute hippo. I am beyond impressed with what you have done on your new website, Rain! Happy weekend!
Oh Louise!! Thank you so much! ♥♥ No, the “Jump To My Recipes” is a new one. The “theme” I chose for this website comes with a recipe index, but I found it was too stale…it just had the name of the recipe and a few lines of the excerpt, no photos, so I wanted to change it around. It’s a HUGE project! I was sure I could do 10 a day but I barely get 3 recipes written and posted now each day and I have over 200!!! ♥♥♥
Bunny looks quite graceful on the latte.r
Thanks Dora, I think he looks fabulous! ♥
I love your Bugs today, Rain! Delightful — and the apple crisp looks great!
Thanks Jeanie ♥ The apple crisp is really comforting!
Happy Thursday Rain
Much♡love
Thanks Gillena, much love to you too! ♥
Bugs is so versatile 🙂 He makes a gorgeous Belle. I often borrow a royalty-free background so I appreciate what you have done here. I love 3-D drawing. I will attempt the ladder. It looks deceptively easy which is why I know it will be difficult 😝 I love apple crisp and I love oatmeal, so I know I am going to love them in combination. FH loves it too, so it is a given I will be trying your recipe. We need an update on the pets, right? It has been awhile and I love your pets 🙂 Stay rested and healthy, Rain … you do so much I sometimes worry about you.

Thanks Andrea, trust me the 3D ladder IS easy! I hope you try it. I love Pixabay. ☺
Rain,
Great job with Bugs posing as Belle! When I thought of ladders, the library at Biltmore Estate came to mind. They have ladders such as yours. That’s such an amazing room and perhaps is my favorite out of the 200 in the house. Can you imagine cleaning such a place all by yourself? Of course, the Vanderbilts had a large staff and didn’t have to tend to such things. 🙂
Mmmm, Apple Crisp! I haven’t made this in a long time. This was DH’s favorite dessert as a youngster. His mother made it for him frequently.
Thanks for sharing and hosting the art fun, my dear! xo
Thanks Cathy ♥ I think if I had such a room, I would definitely invest in house cleaning staff lol…
Apple crisp!
Isn’t it a wonderful thing? ☺
Beautiful ladder art pieces Rain, very inspiring. The apple crisp looks delicious.
Thanks Christine! ♥
Ohhh your ladder drawings are awesome. I love the first one so much. OK, are you reading my mind? I just took some apple crisp out of the oven. The purple hippo is just too cute. Hugs to your Sis.
Oh how neat that you’re eating apple crisp – and yes, I AM reading your mind lol! Thanks Sis ♥
Your Bugs-Belle art is awesome! And who doesn’t love apple crisp?
Thanks Debra ♥
