Small Paintings and Oopsie

I have some small wooden hearts that I picked up at one of my visits to Hobby Lobby. I wanted to do a bunch of these for Valentine’s Day and so far I have completed four of them. One was a gift for my hubby. The reference from this one is from the Museum App,Continue reading “Small Paintings and Oopsie”

Inktober 2023 Day 18

Good Afternoon!! Today’s Inktober prompt is “saddle.” Most of this month I have been drawing sketches from my head or making them up.  Today I opted to just draw from a reference photo so I could get the details of the saddle correct.  I also used a reference photo for the owl.  I use theContinue reading “Inktober 2023 Day 18”

Inktober 2023 Day 17

Good Morning!!  Today’s Inktober prompt is “demon” but I opted to go with my gut on this one.  The temps have dropped considerably where I live in Florida.  We are in the frost zone now so we do have to watch for our tender plants when it gets down to frost temperatures.  Last night’s tempsContinue reading “Inktober 2023 Day 17”

Inktober 2023 Day 16

Good Morning!!  Today’s Inktober prompt is “angel.”  I did a sketch based loosely on Chloe, as an angel somewhere over the Rainbow Bridge.  It’s been a while since I sketched her, and she’s been gone since January.  The sting of the pain of her loss is still there, though Lucy is a good distraction.  IContinue reading “Inktober 2023 Day 16”

Inktober 2023 Day 14

Happy Saturday!!  Happy Annular Eclipse Day! Today’s Inktober prompt is “castle” but since it is the annular eclipse day, I decided to use that as my prompt instead. I was a little bummed that you had to be in the Southwest to see the ring of fire part of the eclipse, but Florida got aContinue reading “Inktober 2023 Day 14”

Inktober 2023 Day 13

Good morning!!  Happy Friday to you all! Today’s Inktober prompt is rise.   I introduced Lucy at the beginning of this month. We were all mourning the loss of Chloe, but by May, the emptiness from the lack of Chloe’s presence hung around the house like a dark shade.  Lucy brings a spark back intoContinue reading “Inktober 2023 Day 13”

Inktober 2023 Day 12

Good afternoon!! Today’s Inktober prompt is “spicy. ” (Just a quick note, it’s spelled “spicey” on the official list.) I thought of a few things to illustrate today’s word, but as someone who used to grow hot peppers, spicy has a more focused meaning.  Back when I had my garden in South Jersey, we grew manyContinue reading “Inktober 2023 Day 12”

Inktober 2023 Day 11

Good afternoon!! Todays prompt is wander.  Mack and Lucy’s favorite.  They are constantly on the look out for an open exterior door. Lucy is an escape artist and we have to be ever vigilant to ensure she doesn’t sneak out.  Mack just wants to wander and pee on everything outside the house to set upContinue reading “Inktober 2023 Day 11”

Inktober Day 10

Good Day! Todays prompt is fortune. Mack and Lucy can think of nothing better than the good fortune of a huge bags of dog bones and treats. I thought of sketching a fortune cookie with a fortune in it but I had to let Lucy an Mack out to go potty and then they wentContinue reading “Inktober Day 10”

Inktober Day 9

Good Evening! Before I move on to today’s prompt, I just want to point out that my Inktober/Drawlloween sketches and drawings maybe aren’t as polished as some of the ones that are on Instagram. I have been doing mine daily and I have been trying to put a time limit on them because I haveContinue reading “Inktober Day 9”
