Inktober Day 2

The prompt for today is “discover.” Lucy and Mack have “discovered” live Halloween decorations. Carved pumpkins seem to attract all sorts of creatures. When we lived up North. the local squirrels would eat the Jack O’Lantern every year. They would also eat the uncarved pumpkins, too. Here in Florida, we found out the hard wayContinue reading “Inktober Day 2”

International Chihuahua Appreciation Day

I had already done my “day” sketch earlier of National Chicken Dance Day. (I sketched a chicken, dancing. I have been going about my day working on some catching up, sketching and drawing away.  …listening to Zoom recordings either on repeat or ones that I missed.  Hoping to get to the juicy podcasts I wasContinue reading “International Chihuahua Appreciation Day”

Whimsical Valentine portrait

I haven’t posted this yet because it was hanging up for Valentines’ Day. This is our little family as it is today, with Hubby. Mack, Lucy and myself. We look a little different than we did last year, and the year before. Last year, we had just lost Chloe so we were still in mourningContinue reading “Whimsical Valentine portrait”

Love Your pet day

Today is “Love Your Pet Day.” In my very humble opinion, an animal companion is in our lives to be loved and love us in return.  They are with us for such a short time.  They deserve to be doted on and spoiled as much as possible and every moment should be cherished, for weContinue reading “Love Your pet day”

Inktober 2023 Day 13

Good morning!!  Happy Friday to you all! Today’s Inktober prompt is rise.   I introduced Lucy at the beginning of this month. We were all mourning the loss of Chloe, but by May, the emptiness from the lack of Chloe’s presence hung around the house like a dark shade.  Lucy brings a spark back intoContinue reading “Inktober 2023 Day 13”

Inktober 2023 Day 11

Good afternoon!! Todays prompt is wander.  Mack and Lucy’s favorite.  They are constantly on the look out for an open exterior door. Lucy is an escape artist and we have to be ever vigilant to ensure she doesn’t sneak out.  Mack just wants to wander and pee on everything outside the house to set upContinue reading “Inktober 2023 Day 11”

Inktober Day 10

Good Day! Todays prompt is fortune. Mack and Lucy can think of nothing better than the good fortune of a huge bags of dog bones and treats. I thought of sketching a fortune cookie with a fortune in it but I had to let Lucy an Mack out to go potty and then they wentContinue reading “Inktober Day 10”

Inktober Day 9

Good Evening! Before I move on to today’s prompt, I just want to point out that my Inktober/Drawlloween sketches and drawings maybe aren’t as polished as some of the ones that are on Instagram. I have been doing mine daily and I have been trying to put a time limit on them because I haveContinue reading “Inktober Day 9”

Inktober Day 6

Good day folks! To catch you up from yesterday, my desktop appears to be running ok today except for the issue that the wallpaper isn’t working and I am looking at a blank screen. It won’t even load any of my photos, which is strange. I’ll have to about that one…sigh. Today’s Inktober prompt isContinue reading “Inktober Day 6”

Inktober 2023 Day 4 – Introducing Lucy

Inktober Day 4.  The Prompt is Dodge. Today’s Inktober prompt created a little bit of stumper at first because I wasn’t sure how I would portray that.  Then I thought of all the times that our Chihuahua puppy, Lucy, dodged Mack to keep him from getting her bones and the inspiration hit me. I didContinue reading “Inktober 2023 Day 4 – Introducing Lucy”
