Summer Painting #8

It has already been a warm summer so far, so I thought that I would do a painting of a “cool” item from the suggested list. “Popsicle” is one of the suggestions on the list, though I am not sure why “ice cream cone” isn’t, but just as well, they are both a ton ofContinue reading “Summer Painting #8”

Merry Christmas!

Carve December Day 25 is a nod to Tom Hegg’s poem “A Cup of Christmas Tea.” YouTube has several versions of the author reading his poem. I recommended reading it and/or listening to it. I hope you all get the chance to have that cup of tea, (coffee, cocoa or whatever your warm beverage is)Continue reading “Merry Christmas!”

There’s nothing like a hot Philly pretzel straight out of the oven, slathered with brown mustard, spicy or not, I don’t care. Philly pretzels are amazing. Delis andContinue reading “Inktober Day 17”

inktober Day 4

Today’s prompt is scallop. I thought about doing some sort of design but I decided to take my mussels “inches” and make them into a larger 4×6 sketch and used scallops instead. OK, so it is a little macabre with the scallops crying over the ones that were cooked. I am not trying to makeContinue reading “inktober Day 4”

Let’s Bake

This is a portfolio assignment in the course by Mike Lowery, “Getting Paid to Draw.” The Assignment was to create icons for a category of our choice. I chose baking since it is a commonly used illustration and is part of the 3X3 Illustration challenge. (In essence, I am killing two proverbial birds with oneContinue reading “Let’s Bake”
