Garlic

I don’t think I ever actually dedicated a sketch page to a garlic bulb. Ever. I popped open my fridge and the bulb that was in there was a wild thing. It’s fresh but the ones I have been finding at the store are more loose-y goose-y like the one in the fridge with hugeContinue reading “Garlic”

Thank God that year is OVER!

Happy New Year everyone! Welcome to 2021. I am not going to rehash 2020. It had some good points where we got to spend time with our daughter and Cleo. But it had bad points, too. Who knew we were going to lose Cleo so young. We lost some family, friends (not to the pandemic)Continue reading “Thank God that year is OVER!”

Merry Christmas 2020!

Well we made it to Christmas! It has been a tough year, for sure, but we are all making the best of the situation. I get to meet my new Grandkitty today. Today’s post is the stocking that was supposed to be posted on the 11, but John and I liked it so much thatContinue reading “Merry Christmas 2020!”

Christmas Art Countdown – Day 24

Merry Christmas Eve! We’ll be enjoying our 7 fishes meal today! Here’s what I wish for this holiday and for 2021. Tune in tomorrow to see this year’s Christmas Card.

I take my supplements, especially in the winter, but I can’t seem to get enough of the minty stuff around Christmas. I am fond of mint chocolate chip ice cream year round, though,Continue reading “Christmas Art Countdown – Day 22”

Christmas Art Countdown – Day 21

ANNNNDDDD we’re in the homestretch! Day 21 is ‘present’ and fortunately for me I had a bunch of this little guys all cut out and ready to go for another project so I popped them on the scanner and “VOILA”, Day 21 is done!

Christmas Art Countdown – Day 20

I had all sorts of ideas that I wanted to do for the word “cabin.” Backtracking a bit, it is very important for artists to have sketchbooks or paintings with lots of subject matter. (And to catalog said sketchbooks, of which I have not done yet, so you know where to find stuff…) I haveContinue reading “Christmas Art Countdown – Day 20”

Christmas Art Countdown – Day 19

This is another reinvented piece from 2018. I am really excited how I can take images from my sketchbooks and recreate them using the digital tools. The snow in this one looks so much more alive.
