Sloth plant revealed

I haven’t been posting these but this week is a little different. It was a sad week but it was also a week where the sloth plant finally bloomed. Sloth plant you ask? Yeah, what was that plant I called the “sloth plant?” I wasn’t giving this plant it’s given name until I saw flowers!Continue reading “Sloth plant revealed”

Spice is nice

Just a little spicy sketch…..

Dailies

I haven’t posted these in a while. Sometimes, I put something on my page that I am not really sure that I want to share yet until I am able to follow through on that little box that could lead to something else. A nice thing about Florida is the plants can grow year round…..However,Continue reading “Dailies”

After the Storm

We sat in the car by the Indian River as Isaias was trekking north. I sketched this to the patter of raindrops and to “Fluffy” the comedian, being totally snarky about his show in Delhi.

Are your dogs friendly?

No, they are not. Sorry. Please don’t bring your dog/child over here. The other evening, we took Chloe and Mack down to sit by the Indian River. There was a gorgeous cooling breeze and we were relaxing with the dog children. Of course, here comes the dithering older lady with her dog and her maskContinue reading “Are your dogs friendly?”

Drawing people

April Dailies

Here are the daily doodles for the past four weeks. I just that I have three more weeks worth of pages in this sketchbook and I need to decide if I am 1) continuing these dailies (I like them so I probably will), 2) spend money on another 500 series Strathmore mixed media sketchbook (theContinue reading “April Dailies”

Sketches from this week

Occasionally I like to go out sketching with a group. Since I moved to Florida this past autumn, I haven’t had the chance to get out out to sketch with any local groups. Then the corona virus hit so I guess it will be a while before I do that again. However, all is notContinue reading “Sketches from this week”

Latest sketches etc….

My head has been all over the place. The “Virus Roulette” has me terrified. My past experiences with “upper respiratory” infections usually wind up with me pretty sick and on a course of antibiotics for secondary infections. I have been exercising daily, eating better and cutting sugar from my diet trying to make myself asContinue reading “Latest sketches etc….”
