Well, what started out as an amazing month of drawing, ended abruptly when I had a bike crash two weeks ago. One mistake and I hit the ground. Hubby said it was like watching slow motion. I desperately tried to correct my trajectory with the ground and almost came away unscathed until I instinctively putContinue reading “Happy Halloween”

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 15
Happy Sunday!! Today’s Inktober prompt is “dagger.” I wasn’t sure what to draw and any examples weren’t what I envisioned a dagger should look like. So I winged it. I was thinking along the lines of maybe something more medieval where carrying a dagger was necessary for survival and was a way of life. MaybeContinue reading “Inktober 2023 Day 15”
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”
