December 2025

Here’s a peek at what I have been creating this month Aside from the usual mayhem that December brings…I have also been working with a small group to do a Christmas Challenge. You can read more about it on my Substack at this link: Day 1 – Odd Stocking Revisiting an old “friend” that hasContinue reading “December 2025”

National Chihuahua Appreciation Day

I have so many Chihuahuas that I have sketched or painted that I had a bit of a tough time choosing which ones to post. I decided to repost some of my Tiny Dogs from my Tin Dog series of 2020. These tiny dogs were painted in a tiny sketchbook that was provided by theContinue reading “National Chihuahua Appreciation Day”

Inktober Day 2

The prompt for today is “discover.” Lucy and Mack have “discovered” live Halloween decorations. Carved pumpkins seem to attract all sorts of creatures. When we lived up North. the local squirrels would eat the Jack O’Lantern every year. They would also eat the uncarved pumpkins, too. Here in Florida, we found out the hard wayContinue reading “Inktober Day 2”

Inktober 2024 Day 1

So much to do and so little time. I debated on whether or not I wanted to do Inktober this year. I also debated what I wanted to draw. Did I want to follow the suggested prompts, do my own thing or follow other lists. Or just pick and choose daily from various lists. DidContinue reading “Inktober 2024 Day 1”

Summer Painting #7

Here is painting #7. One of my favorite flowers to grow and I am surprised I don’t have any here in my garden. I used to plant seeds every year when I lived in NJ and I would watch the goldfinches hang upside down to pull the yummy seeds out. I found one of thoseContinue reading “Summer Painting #7”

Summer Painting #6

One of the prompts for the daily painters challenge is “fish.” We have a mahi-mahi metal wall hanging that I have no idea where we inherited it from, but it has been in my father-in-law’s house in Port St Lucie, migrated to our Jensen Beach house where it sat in storage and then it movedContinue reading “Summer Painting #6”

Summer Painting #5

This is the last daily painting for this week. This is a small 4×4 painting of fireflies doing their summer evening dance in the dark. It was a little tricky because the fireflies in the painting are so small on the 4×4 surface. I almost did a 6×6 and I still may do a largerContinue reading “Summer Painting #5”
