Happy Halloween

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 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 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”

Inktober Day 9

Good Evening! Before I move on to today’s prompt, I just want to point out that my Inktober/Drawlloween sketches and drawings maybe aren’t as polished as some of the ones that are on Instagram. I have been doing mine daily and I have been trying to put a time limit on them because I haveContinue reading “Inktober Day 9”

Intober Day 8

Good evening….just want to point out that for some reason my Day 7 post did not launch to my website last night and I am just finding this out now, so it just posted. Well, at least my Instagram was timely. Today’s prompt is “toad.” When you live in Florida, especially south of Orlando, beingContinue reading “Intober Day 8”
