Christmas Art Countdown – Day 22

I don’t know why it is but this time of year, especially since I have gotten older, I crave things with peppermint. I take my supplements, especially in the winter, but I can’t seem to get enough of the minty stuff around Christmas. I am fond of mint chocolate chip ice cream year round, though,Continue reading “Christmas Art Countdown – Day 22”

AEDM Days 24 – 30

I haven’t posted anything for the week because of the holiday. Even when I am busy with holiday activities, I still create every day. I have also added writing to my routine. Nothing earth shattering, but I am learning some tricks and plan to add that to my daily routine. I have been doing itContinue reading “AEDM Days 24 – 30”

AEDM Day 13- First Thanksgiving 2.0

I upgraded my First Thanksgiving design to add “menus” and then submitted it for posting to They Draw and Cook.

Researching foods for the firstContinue reading “AEDM Day 13- First Thanksgiving 2.0”

AEDM Day 2

The ruddy turnstones would plunk themselves down in the sand next to us. They were adorable. The sanderlings crackContinue reading “Inktober Day 11 – Sanderling”

Drawing people

I have a daily practice of drawing people. If no one is handy, I use the SKTCHY app for reference. I do two types of sketches. A five minute timed sketch and a Cheater Blind Contour sketch. I use brush fountain pens for the the timed 5 minute sketch. This helps with my brush skills.Continue reading “Drawing people”

This week’s sketches

Happy Mother’s Day to the mom’s out there…It’s another week during Corona Virus World. I have been spending my time creating art, which is business as usual for me. We’ve been watching Ozark in the evenings and finished the first season and are in the second season. That series shows how lies just make peopleContinue reading “This week’s sketches”

Sketches from this week

Occasionally I like to go out sketching with a group. Since I moved to Florida this past autumn, I haven’t had the chance to get out out to sketch with any local groups. Then the corona virus hit so I guess it will be a while before I do that again. However, all is notContinue reading “Sketches from this week”
