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”

confetti
What can I say about confetti? I had several ways to approach this prompt and I felt like playing with patterns, so I went a little bonkers on the iPad. I find myself playing on the iPad the same way I play on paper. My whole life was in sketchbooks until I installed Procreate onContinue reading “confetti”
Polar bears
Giants of the ice Almost as white as the snow Roaming wild and free I hope we have polar bears for a long long time. Today’s stamp is a Christmas tree…
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”
Menorah and reindeer
Day 6 – Menorah, in the books. Carve December – I somehow did the wrong prompt for yesterday so here’s ‘moon.’
Bells and packages
Today’s prompt is Bells and this is my submission for today. Also, my Carve December stamp for today is a package. The prompt was ‘depth’ so I improvised, lo.

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”
Icicles
The toughest part about being an artist and promoting your work is the marketing part. I try to schedule my posts but sometimes I get behind and this is one of those times. The holidays add another list of chores to an already busy day. Taking 5 minutes to take a photo can be aContinue reading “Icicles”
It’s December….Again
December is such a busy month and I scratch my head when art challenges pop up for December. Especially when the list hits right before the start date so that you can’t prepare ahead of time. It almost seems sadistic. Getting off my soapbox….Shannon McNab’s “Daily Sketch Challenge” prompts for December are very helpful andContinue reading “It’s December….Again”
