Solo Song

A forgotten song Of Longing and love thought lost Springs forth from the heart Gina Lento Coyote song can evoke many emotions.  One of them can be fear.  There is nothing more surreal than the first time you hear the yips and howls, especially when you hear them just outside your window.  A cold primalContinue reading “Solo Song”

Whimsical Valentine portrait

I haven’t posted this yet because it was hanging up for Valentines’ Day. This is our little family as it is today, with Hubby. Mack, Lucy and myself. We look a little different than we did last year, and the year before. Last year, we had just lost Chloe so we were still in mourningContinue reading “Whimsical Valentine portrait”

Garden Lion

I mentioned the other day that I originally wanted to do the Fluffy lion with the sagriffito technique and I forgot to do it and just started to paint the lion. This time, I did remember and I painstakingly etched into the wood the outline of the lion. It didn’t quite come out as IContinue reading “Garden Lion”

Fluffy the Lion

Today is National Single Task Day. I did a small cartoon box of Mack sleeping on the Ottoman.  That is Mack’s single task preference. I did have both of them in the studio with me, but Mack wandered off and Lucy is currently pestering John to throw her ball for her.  I didn’t post itContinue reading “Fluffy the Lion”

Too-ra loo-ra Loo-ral

Today is National Sticky Bun Day. However, I haven’t done anything with Sticky Buns other than a sketch in my daily ‘toon box where I have Lucy and Mack looking longingly at a sticky bun on the table.  (No, we haven’t had any sticky buns today.  But the day is still young.)  What I didContinue reading “Too-ra loo-ra Loo-ral”

Love Your pet day

Today is “Love Your Pet Day.” In my very humble opinion, an animal companion is in our lives to be loved and love us in return.  They are with us for such a short time.  They deserve to be doted on and spoiled as much as possible and every moment should be cherished, for weContinue reading “Love Your pet day”

Small Paintings and Oopsie

I have some small wooden hearts that I picked up at one of my visits to Hobby Lobby. I wanted to do a bunch of these for Valentine’s Day and so far I have completed four of them. One was a gift for my hubby. The reference from this one is from the Museum App,Continue reading “Small Paintings and Oopsie”

Happy Halloween

Well, what started out as an amazing month of drawing, ended abruptly when I had a bike crash two weeks ago. One mistake and I hit the ground. Hubby said it was like watching slow motion. I desperately tried to correct my trajectory with the ground and almost came away unscathed until I instinctively putContinue reading “Happy Halloween”

Inktober 2023 Day 18

Good Afternoon!! Today’s Inktober prompt is “saddle.” Most of this month I have been drawing sketches from my head or making them up.  Today I opted to just draw from a reference photo so I could get the details of the saddle correct.  I also used a reference photo for the owl.  I use theContinue reading “Inktober 2023 Day 18”
