Pickle

Here’s a Christmas pickle for ya! And today’s carving…..ooooo look. Holly bats.

Carpenter

Today’s prompt is carpenter. There was a carpenter, a long time ago, who had a big impact on the world. He preached love and forgiveness. Those were simpler times. Today’s stamp carving is also included below. Such fun!

NarwHal and friend

These two friends have been companions for a long time. They help each other and watch out for each other. Although they are different species, they have learned to live together in harmony. They share that beautiful mysterious place called the Ocean. Below is also today’s carved stamp. I carved this one randomly. I likeContinue reading “NarwHal and friend”

Cardinal

Cardinals are such perky birds. The nice thing is when I moved from the Northeast, the cardinals were here, too. I get to observe them in a different environment. They sing a lot down here and they tattle on predators and raptors. I am always amazed at their bravery. I did a sketch of aContinue reading “Cardinal”

Ski Lift

I almost didn’t do this prompt but I am not one to avoid a challenge, especially when I really got into doing the background. I pulled up a few of my photos from a Colorado trip as a reference and I found that the Apple pencil was well suited for doing the trees. I hadContinue reading “Ski Lift”

Puffin

This prompt was easy because I made a pamphlet book for my grandkids a few years ago that was about Arctic animals, puffins being one of them. I have not shown this book outside the family so this is the first time that I can remember actually posting one of the illustrations on my blogContinue reading “Puffin”

Night carnival

I thought this was going to be a difficult subject to illustrate until I remembered that I sketched a few amusements over the years, most during the day. I referenced those sketches and sleeted the Tornado ride for this illustration. I had a lot of fun doing this….

Witch

The fourth prompt is “witch” and it happens to be one of my favorites. Usually for Inktober, I work on my “Little Witch” series, which started back in 2018 as a desperate need to find ideas for postcards to mail to my mom. (Mom was placed in Assisted Living back in 2018 for memory care.Continue reading “Witch”

Monster Self Portrait

This is another sketch in my “skull” sketchbook. I love this refillable journal. It’s black Italian leather and it was made by Innovative Journaling. It comes with two refills of Arches Text Wove paper. The nice thing about this refillable journal is that I can use the paper that comes with it, or make myContinue reading “Monster Self Portrait”

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)”
