Summer Painting #1

I have been doing some small daily paintings painted on small (and square) cradled wooden panels. I picked small formats because it’s easier to do a painting a day when you work small. I have been trying to think of some ideas for a calendar which is why the square format works best right now.Continue reading “Summer Painting #1”

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”

Jekyll Island Map

I wanted to do this map sooner but other projects got in the way. I am taking Mike Lowery’s “Getting Paid to Draw Course” and I am doing it as a repeat because he has a whole new group of artists and special guests for 2023. I started the class early because we are goingContinue reading “Jekyll Island Map”

Jensen Beach Map

I usually go very project detailed and would post them on They Draw and Travel but sometimes just freeing up my creativity to play in myContinue reading “Jensen Beach Map”

We used to own racehorses and I would sit in the paddock and sketch the horses as they were getting tacked up and harnessed for races. A lot of theContinue reading “Horse”

Mixed media Tempest

As mentioned in my last post, I have a homemade sketchbook in which I have been creating mixed media/collage spreads, and I have been trying to finish it for a while. Sometimes, I spend so much time on things I think matters, that I forget about the things I used to enjoy doing. It tookContinue reading “Mixed media Tempest”

Mixed Media/Collage

Well, it turns out that the Inchie challenge was only 11 days, not 12. I was surprised when I pulled up emails Saturday morning and there was no prompt. Well that was a bummer because the Inchie challenge was fun. I’ll probably keep 2×2 squares with me to work on when I am out ofContinue reading “Mixed Media/Collage”

World Watercolor month

There is a challenge going on called World Watercolor Month. There is a list of prompts and all that but you aren’t required to use the list. I haven’t done this challenge in previous years but since I am in the middle of working on a project that is a mix of watercolor and gouache,Continue reading “World Watercolor month”
