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 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 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”
Dog Children and Grieving
Today is the first day that I have been able to sit down and type this. On Monday, January 30, 2023, our beloved Chloe moved on to the Rainbow Bridge. John and I are still trying to make sense of this. One day she was normal and the next, we’re saying good-bye. She was onlyContinue reading “Dog Children and Grieving”
That’s Right WoodChuck Chuckers…
It’s GROUNDHOG DAY! Groundhog Day was always one of those days that you acknowledged but didn’t make much of a fuss about, (unless winter has been an especially cold and snowy one…) until the movie “Groundhog Day” came out. I fell in love with the movie immediately. We even had a VHS version, then aContinue reading “That’s Right WoodChuck Chuckers…”
Inktober Day 25
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 24
Today’s prompt is fun! It is also one of my favorite things; “fairy.” I drew a bunch of sketches in my sketchbook of various different approaches and didn’t care for my initial sketches. It is October and I wanted to do something along the lines of an Autumn Faerie. I wanted to create a faerieContinue reading “Inktober Day 24”
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 19
Wow, 13 days to Halloween and 13 days left in the Inktober Challenge. Today’s prompt is ponytail and I decided to have a little fun today with…..a pony! Yeah, I could have done a girl with a ponytail but I thought it would be more fun to draw a pony. A happy little thing withContinue reading “Inktober Day 19”
Inktober Day 18
It’s Day 18 of the Inktober Challenge. Today’s prompt is “scrape.” Another word with a multitude of ways that it could be represented. To be honest, I was thinking about just scrapping today’s word after streaming Episode 9 of the House and Dragons last night and just shouting “DRACARYS!!! DRACARYS!!!” on paper as my reactionContinue reading “Inktober Day 18”
