I wanted to do this map sooner but other projects got in the way. I am taking Mike Lowery’s “Getting Paid to Draw Course” and I am doing it as a repeat because he has a whole new group of artists and special guests for 2023. I started the class early because we are goingContinue reading “Jekyll Island Map”

Jekyll Island
John and I went to Jekyll Island this past weekend to get away and to also celebrate his birthday. It was a spur of the moment decision. The weekend’s forecast for Jensen Beach for this past weekend was high 80’s, possibly hitting 90. We were vegging out and decided on a whim to go exploringContinue reading “Jekyll Island”
Jensen Beach Map
I was playing around in my sketchbook trying to work on some illustration “to do” lists and one of the items on my list is to do more maps. I usually go very project detailed and would post them on They Draw and Travel but sometimes just freeing up my creativity to play in myContinue reading “Jensen Beach Map”
Dog Children and Grieving
Today is the first day that I have been able to sit down and type this. On Monday, January 30, 2023, our beloved Chloe moved on to the Rainbow Bridge. John and I are still trying to make sense of this. One day she was normal and the next, we’re saying good-bye. She was onlyContinue reading “Dog Children and Grieving”
That’s Right WoodChuck Chuckers…
It’s GROUNDHOG DAY! Groundhog Day was always one of those days that you acknowledged but didn’t make much of a fuss about, (unless winter has been an especially cold and snowy one…) until the movie “Groundhog Day” came out. I fell in love with the movie immediately. We even had a VHS version, then aContinue reading “That’s Right WoodChuck Chuckers…”
Friday the 13th
Today is Friday the 13th and I decided to play around with my Arteza brush pens. I used a sketchbook made out of the Arches Text Wove paper which can be a little temperamental for using the brush pens. Black cats are not bad luck so I thought this kitty would be purrfect for today….

Today’s sketches and today’s stamp. (Plus yesterday’s prints.)
Happy Halloween and the last day of Inktober!
Today is Halloween and it is also the last day of Inktober. I can’t say that I am not glad to Inktober go. It was fun to do the prompts but tough to squeeze it in. I am happy it is Halloween and I am sad to know that it is the end of October.Continue reading “Happy Halloween and the last day of Inktober!”
Inktober Day 30
Two days to go! I can’t believe October ends tomorrow! So sad because this is the best month of the year. The sad thing about October ending is we jump from Autumn right into the Christmas season without being able to enjoy Thanksgiving as an Autumn holiday. I mean, it’s nice to hear the ChristmasContinue reading “Inktober Day 30”
Inktober Day 28
Inktober Day 28 and today’s prompt is “camping.” I got the idea for this sketch from the season. What do we do when we are camping? Usually a campfire is one of the evening activities that people do while camping. A campfire brings light to the dark. It can be used to cook food, marshmallows,Continue reading “Inktober Day 28”
