Eucalyptus

I did this last year for a MATS assignment. The assignment was how eating vegan can help the planet. (It can also help the waist line too.) Instead of reinventing the wheel, here is my Eucalyptus submission for the Daily Challenge.

Corkscrew

Sketch done from life. Homemade sketchbook using Stonehenge paper and Tombows.

Hyacinth

This was drawn from life and is in that same 5×5 homemade toned paper sketchbook that I have used the past few days. I picked up this hyacinth at the local market. With all the beautiful flowers and plants that grow in my part of Florida, these do not and hyacinths have always been aContinue reading “Hyacinth”

Parsley

Here’s another sketch of an item I usually don’t consider high on my list of subject matter to draw or paint. Sketched with an opaque watercolor and ink on toned Stonehenge paper in my homemade sketchbook. The sketch hasn’t been retouched digitally…..yet. Parsley. Parsley is one of the herbs that I have growing in potsContinue reading “Parsley”

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”

First sketch of 2021

I did this quickly because the instructions were to spend 10 minutes creating some art….I picked the hedgehog….I ran outta time to tweak this some more.

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.

Christmas Art Countdown – Day 22

I don’t know why it is but this time of year, especially since I have gotten older, I crave things with peppermint. 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”
