It was time to get out out to do some sketching. We took Mack for a ride to sit on the causeway. You can always find a nice breeze here. Even in the middle of summer, we still get a breeze. As I am writing this, an osprey just snagged a fish out of theContinue reading “Getting out to sketch”

A Sunday Morning in November
Today, John and I decided to get out of the house. I have been working on some ornaments over the past couple of days and John installed some sun shades yesterday for our patio. We really didn’t veg out too much yesterday so this morning we just sat outside and enjoyed our morning coffee. WeContinue reading “A Sunday Morning in November”
Friendly Faces Day 23
Today’s prompt is “heart.” I have this plant on my table that has heart shaped leaves and flowers so I did the plant today for a change of pace. This is technically “plein air” since I did it from life while sitting outdoors.
Three Hour Tour
This boat was capsized for a long while. I found this sketch among the ones that weren’t posted.

I guess someone will attemptContinue reading “Three Hour Tour”

It has A/C for those hot days. I sketched it this evening when I was out with my localContinue reading “The Dockmaster”
Belt of Venus or Gone fishin’
Sometimes people ask where I get my inspiration. I do some brainstorming and I jot down lots of ideas but they don’t always turn into anything. Then there are the ideas that are there, right in front of me. This kitty is one of those spur of the moment ideas. John and I went toContinue reading “Belt of Venus or Gone fishin’”
Siamese Kitty
My mom used to have three bratty Siamese. When the last one passed away, my sisters and I figured we’d see more of her. Nope. She adopted two homeless cats soon after the last Siamese passed away. Here’s a Siamese kitty that I know my mom will love! Also, these paintings below will be inContinue reading “Siamese Kitty”
