Six more days left in October. It’s always amazing how fast October whips by. Then Christmas goes into high gear, pretty much skipping over Thanksgiving. I think that Thanksgiving has been turned into the Memorial Day of the Holiday Season. It’s a shame because it really is nice to enjoy November for the beautiful monthContinue reading “Inktober Day 25”

Inktober Day 22
Ooooo, today is a fun word. Heist. One movie came to mind, “Tower Heist” with Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy. I cracked up through that movie and was especially delighted when the Tower staff was distracted from their duties by the Thanksgiving parade. Adults that are young at heart, I loved it. The woman hittingContinue reading “Inktober Day 22”
Inktober Day 14
The prompt for Day 14 is “empty.” My Chihuahuas, Chloe and Mack, are very food focused and empty plates are a cause to create a relentless nagging until they get their next meal. Because Chihuahuas can get hypoglycemic, especially as puppies, our dog children are fed small portioned meals spaced out three times a day;Continue reading “Inktober Day 14”
Inktober Day 13
Today is Inktober Day 13 and the prompt is “kind.” I almost pulled out a KIND bar for this one. We have two different types of Kind Bars in the closet and my first thought was to sketch one of them. It would have been fun. I can still do it even though I alreadyContinue reading “Inktober Day 13”
sketch pattern to stuffed doll
Here is the stuffed version of my Coco Moloko using what I had around my studio. I thought about going to buy glittery fabric for the frosting, or even just getting another color for the frosting and a different pink for the feet, but in the end I just used what I had in theContinue reading “sketch pattern to stuffed doll”
Sleigh
What’s better than a sleigh with 8 reindeer? A sleigh with 8 cats! Santa’s annual run was over. He’s looking forward to a long rest. This year was stressful. The reindeer went AWOL so Santa had to use the barn cats. The elves all got sick. There was a blizzard over most of North America.Continue reading “Sleigh”
Skates
Ellie dreams of being an Olympic figure skater. She practices every day and loves skating in the snow. The creek near her house freezes over in the winter and it is her favorite place to skate. She and her friends create a rink and a track on the frozen creek and they do pretend OlympicContinue reading “Skates”
It’s December….Again
December is such a busy month and I scratch my head when art challenges pop up for December. Especially when the list hits right before the start date so that you can’t prepare ahead of time. It almost seems sadistic. Getting off my soapbox….Shannon McNab’s “Daily Sketch Challenge” prompts for December are very helpful andContinue reading “It’s December….Again”
Absence
Absence You were the last thing we wanted You came to us on a warm summer evening Tiny and sick dark as the night We took you in and you grew on us You thought you were a chihuahua You ingratiated yourself into our hearts Soft and silky svelte and lanky A queen in yourContinue reading “Absence”
Little Witch (on the side)
I did work a little on my little witch series while doing the “TheyDrawtober Challenge.” The food challenge took up more time than expected, and I wound up doing that challenge on Procreate and as you can see from last month’s posts. In the meantime, monsters, witches and other beasties were sidelined. I have beenContinue reading “Little Witch (on the side)”
