Good evening….just want to point out that for some reason my Day 7 post did not launch to my website last night and I am just finding this out now, so it just posted. Well, at least my Instagram was timely. Today’s prompt is “toad.” When you live in Florida, especially south of Orlando, beingContinue reading “Intober Day 8”

Inktober Day 7
Good evening! Today’s prompt is “drip.” Because it is Saturday, and I had many things to do today, I decided to draw the first and simplest thing that popped into my head. What is the most annoying thing that you can think of? (Aside from a mosquito buzzing by your ear at 2:45AM?) A drippingContinue reading “Inktober Day 7”
Inktober Day 5
What a frustrating evening trying to do this post. My Mac is hosed up and I can’t use it because I lost power in the middle of doing some research which caused my Adobe software to not be able to shutdown properly. Now it’s all hosed because Adobe is a memory vampire. Good thing IContinue reading “Inktober Day 5”
Inktober 2023 Day 4 – Introducing Lucy
Inktober Day 4. The Prompt is Dodge. Today’s Inktober prompt created a little bit of stumper at first because I wasn’t sure how I would portray that. Then I thought of all the times that our Chihuahua puppy, Lucy, dodged Mack to keep him from getting her bones and the inspiration hit me. I didContinue reading “Inktober 2023 Day 4 – Introducing Lucy”
Inktober Day 3
Inktober Day 3. The prompt is Path. I have a photo I took many years ago in an area what locals in New Jersey, call “down Jersey.” Down Jersey is along the Delaware Bay and is not really an area that people go to for getting away. Most folks go down the shore, whetherContinue reading “Inktober Day 3”
Inktober Day 2
Inktober Day 2. Prompt is Spider. I had a few different ideas about what to sketch for a spider. I settled on two spiders who are close friends. They made their webs next to each other and they are fishing for insects using fishing poles with light bulbs hanging from the poles. Their goal isContinue reading “Inktober Day 2”
Inktober 2023 Day 1
It’s Inktober….again….and that must mean that Instagram feeds will be blowing up with ink art the entire month of October. I don’t know how many years I have participated in Inktober. I have lost count. Usually I spend a little time coming up with ideas but this year, October sneaked up on me unexpectedly. ItContinue reading “Inktober 2023 Day 1”
Getting out to sketch
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”
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”
Jekyll Island
John and I went to Jekyll Island this past weekend to get away and to also celebrate his birthday. It was a spur of the moment decision. The weekend’s forecast for Jensen Beach for this past weekend was high 80’s, possibly hitting 90. We were vegging out and decided on a whim to go exploringContinue reading “Jekyll Island”
