Today’s painting is of a subject near and dear to my heart….sandpipers. Sandpipers are comical little birds and I could sit and watch them over and over without ever getting tired of them. They have their own personalities and there always seems to be a bully that wants to control the entire beach. Disney PixarContinue reading “Summer Painting #3”

Summer Painting #2
Summer is such a fun time of year. Most of us look forward to the longer days where we have much more time in the evenings to enjoy being outside or even just getting things done around the house. The sun comes up earlier which means we can get out earlier to do our dailyContinue reading “Summer Painting #2”
It takes two
Here, our two lonely coyotes meet and sing a duet. I really like how this heart turned out. When I started it, I almost thought I was going to need to gesso over it and start over. The coyotes and ground turned out fine, but the background was a hot mess. I layered the backgroundContinue reading “It takes two”
Solo Song
A forgotten song Of Longing and love thought lost Springs forth from the heart Gina Lento Coyote song can evoke many emotions. One of them can be fear. There is nothing more surreal than the first time you hear the yips and howls, especially when you hear them just outside your window. A cold primalContinue reading “Solo Song”
Whimsical Valentine portrait
I haven’t posted this yet because it was hanging up for Valentines’ Day. This is our little family as it is today, with Hubby. Mack, Lucy and myself. We look a little different than we did last year, and the year before. Last year, we had just lost Chloe so we were still in mourningContinue reading “Whimsical Valentine portrait”
Fluffy the Lion
Today is National Single Task Day. I did a small cartoon box of Mack sleeping on the Ottoman. That is Mack’s single task preference. I did have both of them in the studio with me, but Mack wandered off and Lucy is currently pestering John to throw her ball for her. I didn’t post itContinue reading “Fluffy the Lion”
Too-ra loo-ra Loo-ral
Today is National Sticky Bun Day. However, I haven’t done anything with Sticky Buns other than a sketch in my daily ‘toon box where I have Lucy and Mack looking longingly at a sticky bun on the table. (No, we haven’t had any sticky buns today. But the day is still young.) What I didContinue reading “Too-ra loo-ra Loo-ral”
Love Your pet day
Today is “Love Your Pet Day.” In my very humble opinion, an animal companion is in our lives to be loved and love us in return. They are with us for such a short time. They deserve to be doted on and spoiled as much as possible and every moment should be cherished, for weContinue reading “Love Your pet day”
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”
