Inktober Day 2. Prompt is Spider. I had a few different ideas about what to sketch for a spider. I settled on two spiders who are close friends. They made their webs next to each other and they are fishing for insects using fishing poles with light bulbs hanging from the poles. Their goal isContinue reading “Inktober Day 2”

Inktober 2023 Day 1
It’s Inktober….again….and that must mean that Instagram feeds will be blowing up with ink art the entire month of October. I don’t know how many years I have participated in Inktober. I have lost count. Usually I spend a little time coming up with ideas but this year, October sneaked up on me unexpectedly. ItContinue reading “Inktober 2023 Day 1”
Getting out to sketch
It was time to get out out to do some sketching. We took Mack for a ride to sit on the causeway. You can always find a nice breeze here. Even in the middle of summer, we still get a breeze. As I am writing this, an osprey just snagged a fish out of theContinue reading “Getting out to sketch”
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”
A Sunday Morning in November
Today, John and I decided to get out of the house. I have been working on some ornaments over the past couple of days and John installed some sun shades yesterday for our patio. We really didn’t veg out too much yesterday so this morning we just sat outside and enjoyed our morning coffee. WeContinue reading “A Sunday Morning in November”
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 29
Wow, almost at the end of October. We are now into Halloween weekend. Where does the time go? Today’s prompt is “Uh-oh.” For some reason I went right to thinking about the wildlife in the neighborhood, probably because our friendly neighborhood Little Blue Heron, was stalking through everyone’s flower beds, looking for “yum yums” likeContinue reading “Inktober Day 29”
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”
