Hubby and I were out walking and came upon a tree that looked like it had washed out avocados hanging from it. Turns out, it was a mahogany tree. We were awed at the beauty of the tree and the rarity of its wood. An older woman gave us cuttings from the tree and toldContinue reading “Found”

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas! The day is finally here. Just when you think you won’t get everything finished on time, it all falls in place. Played with the brush markers this morning and decided to do a tree. It feels good to play with the materials for the fun of it. It’s not perfect, but trees areContinue reading “Merry Christmas”
Simple Wreath

Inchies – Indigo
Day 10 – indigo Here is my exploration into indigo. In my humble opinion, the best shade of indigo is from Daniel Smith.
Inky Inchies
Day 9 and the post was “ink.” I got a little carried away again. Each square was done independently but I tied them together with laying them out on my desk and turning them to see how well they would work together as a group. The bottom two were separate pieces done with crayon andContinue reading “Inky Inchies”

Days 4-6 prompts: Day 4 – Yellow – I was totally spontaneous and I used two Tombow Markers and a waterbrush to create this one. Simple designs like this can grow into something else… Day 5 – Wood – They Draw had sent out an email about typography so wood became wooden letters. Day 6Continue reading “Inchie Challenge Continued…”
Jenny
There, hidden in the palms! Jenny saw another creature, just like her! This is an abbreviated version of what I just wrote about Jenny. Jenny is already, unexpectedly, becoming a story. Yeah, she’s weird looking and could potentially be scary But looks are often deceiving, aren’t they? This is an Artist Trading Card sized art.Continue reading “Jenny”
