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”

Inktober 2024 Day 1

So much to do and so little time. I debated on whether or not I wanted to do Inktober this year. I also debated what I wanted to draw. Did I want to follow the suggested prompts, do my own thing or follow other lists. Or just pick and choose daily from various lists. DidContinue reading “Inktober 2024 Day 1”

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 was playing around in my sketchbook trying to work on some illustration “to do” lists and one of the items on my list is to do more maps. 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”

That’s Right WoodChuck Chuckers…

It’s GROUNDHOG DAY! Groundhog Day was always one of those days that you acknowledged but didn’t make much of a fuss about, (unless winter has been an especially cold and snowy one…) until the movie “Groundhog Day” came out. I fell in love with the movie immediately. We even had a VHS version, then aContinue reading “That’s Right WoodChuck Chuckers…”

Friday the 13th

Today is Friday the 13th and I decided to play around with my Arteza brush pens. I used a sketchbook made out of the Arches Text Wove paper which can be a little temperamental for using the brush pens. Black cats are not bad luck so I thought this kitty would be purrfect for today….

Horse

Another project that I have been working on is horse illustrations/art. Something I did a long time ago that I picked up again just recently. 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”
