Plenty of these here in the neighborhood all the time….my faves are the cattle egrets. They chase lawn mowers. You can walk out your front door and find them on your car. And if your driving through interior Florida, the cattle egrets are cattle back riding on the many cows that are grazing on theContinue reading “Egrets”

Eucalyptus
I did this last year for a MATS assignment. The assignment was how eating vegan can help the planet. (It can also help the waist line too.) Instead of reinventing the wheel, here is my Eucalyptus submission for the Daily Challenge.

Sketch done from life. Homemade sketchbook using Stonehenge paper and Tombows.
Garlic
I don’t think I ever actually dedicated a sketch page to a garlic bulb. Ever. I popped open my fridge and the bulb that was in there was a wild thing. It’s fresh but the ones I have been finding at the store are more loose-y goose-y like the one in the fridge with hugeContinue reading “Garlic”
Thank God that year is OVER!
Happy New Year everyone! Welcome to 2021. I am not going to rehash 2020. It had some good points where we got to spend time with our daughter and Cleo. But it had bad points, too. Who knew we were going to lose Cleo so young. We lost some family, friends (not to the pandemic)Continue reading “Thank God that year is OVER!”
Christmas Art Countdown – Day 17
I love poinsettias at this time of year. I started out with the red until I found other varieties like the splashed white, and the pale red ones. Several years ago I discovered the pink ones. There were so many different versions of the pink ones, too. The “hotter” the pink, the better. Last year,Continue reading “Christmas Art Countdown – Day 17”
Christmas Art Countdown Day 8
Day 8 came to me after a bit of writing on and entirely different subject. I wrote a quick story about Christmas Eve with my husband’s family and sat in bed thinking of what I could do for Mistletoe and I pulled out my ipad and sketched this idea. When I got up, this isContinue reading “Christmas Art Countdown Day 8”
Christmas Countdown Day 6 – St Nicholas Day
Today is St Nicholas Day. I celebrated St Nicholas Day with my kids as they were growing up when a friend told me that he and his wife celebrated St Nicholas’ Day with their children. They were Italian and apparently their family brought the tradition with them from Italy. When my son was around three,Continue reading “Christmas Countdown Day 6 – St Nicholas Day”
Christmas Art Countdown Day 4
One thing I miss about living in Florida is the Winter activities. When I lived up North, I was trying to get out more to do things outside. One thing about Long Island is that they would get snow there and it would last a while. One Sunday, John and I put our hiking bootsContinue reading “Christmas Art Countdown Day 4”
Winter Sweater
Day 2 of the Christmas Art Countdown. If I still lived in the snow belt I would have to consider getting a sweater like this. I had fun designing it.
