Absence You were the last thing we wanted You came to us on a warm summer evening Tiny and sick dark as the night We took you in and you grew on us You thought you were a chihuahua You ingratiated yourself into our hearts Soft and silky svelte and lanky A queen in yourContinue reading “Absence”

Witch
The fourth prompt is “witch” and it happens to be one of my favorites. Usually for Inktober, I work on my “Little Witch” series, which started back in 2018 as a desperate need to find ideas for postcards to mail to my mom. (Mom was placed in Assisted Living back in 2018 for memory care.Continue reading “Witch”
Haunted
I am still trailing the other October lists for now. As I write this, I have one of the Hallmark channels on TV to help with the holiday transition, even though I don’t want to transition yet. I’d love to wallow some more in post-Halloween, pre-Thanksgiving vibes and enjoy November for November. It’s hard toContinue reading “Haunted”
Monster Self Portrait
This is another sketch in my “skull” sketchbook. I love this refillable journal. It’s black Italian leather and it was made by Innovative Journaling. It comes with two refills of Arches Text Wove paper. The nice thing about this refillable journal is that I can use the paper that comes with it, or make myContinue reading “Monster Self Portrait”
Little Witch (on the side)
I did work a little on my little witch series while doing the “TheyDrawtober Challenge.” The food challenge took up more time than expected, and I wound up doing that challenge on Procreate and as you can see from last month’s posts. In the meantime, monsters, witches and other beasties were sidelined. I have beenContinue reading “Little Witch (on the side)”

She wants it to become an Olympic Sport and wants to get the first Gold medal. (I had to check to ensure itContinue reading “Ooops”

Grandpa bunny
Earl likes to sun himself. He doesn’t hear so well anymore so he was quite startled when the little girl tried to pet him… The bunny sketches are done in my Innovative Journal, that I stitched myself from a kit. For more info about the kit, here is the link… https://innovativejournaling.com All the bunnies areContinue reading “Grandpa bunny”
Frosty bunny
In the lone reaches of an alpine meadow sits Frosty, a high mountain bunny. I forgot to add on the previous bunny posts that these sketches are done in my Innovative Journal, that I stitched myself from a kit. https://innovativejournaling.com All the bunnies are from my imagination, painted with gouache and they are not digitallyContinue reading “Frosty bunny”
Hot dog bunny
Some of my bunnies don’t happen to look like real bunnies. This one is more like a cross between a dachshund and a punk rock rabbit. Marcus is a bit of a stuffy fellow. It took him a while to style his hair. Too bad he didn’t know about the stormy forecast.
