Today is National Sticky Bun Day. However, I haven’t done anything with Sticky Buns other than a sketch in my daily ‘toon box where I have Lucy and Mack looking longingly at a sticky bun on the table. (No, we haven’t had any sticky buns today. But the day is still young.) What I didContinue reading “Too-ra loo-ra Loo-ral”

Love Your pet day
Today is “Love Your Pet Day.” In my very humble opinion, an animal companion is in our lives to be loved and love us in return. They are with us for such a short time. They deserve to be doted on and spoiled as much as possible and every moment should be cherished, for weContinue reading “Love Your pet day”
Small Paintings and Oopsie
I have some small wooden hearts that I picked up at one of my visits to Hobby Lobby. I wanted to do a bunch of these for Valentine’s Day and so far I have completed four of them. One was a gift for my hubby. The reference from this one is from the Museum App,Continue reading “Small Paintings and Oopsie”
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 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”
