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…”

Inktober Day 19
Wow, 13 days to Halloween and 13 days left in the Inktober Challenge. Today’s prompt is ponytail and I decided to have a little fun today with…..a pony! Yeah, I could have done a girl with a ponytail but I thought it would be more fun to draw a pony. A happy little thing withContinue reading “Inktober Day 19”
Inktober Day 16
Over the mid month hump and into a prompt most “fowl.” There are a ton of birds that fit this category, but I went with a chicken. Chickens are pretty cool. They come in all sorts of shapes and feathers. I like the ones that look like they have chicken hair dos. Chickens are usuallyContinue reading “Inktober Day 16”
Inktober Day 15
The middle of the month is here, if you don’t count the fact that they are 31 days in October. It is the 15th day of the Inktober Challenge and today’s prompt is “armadillo.” Armadillos are these odd creatures that most of the time, Floridians see them on the side of the road as roadkill.Continue reading “Inktober Day 15”
Inktober Day 14
The prompt for Day 14 is “empty.” My Chihuahuas, Chloe and Mack, are very food focused and empty plates are a cause to create a relentless nagging until they get their next meal. Because Chihuahuas can get hypoglycemic, especially as puppies, our dog children are fed small portioned meals spaced out three times a day;Continue reading “Inktober Day 14”
Inktober Day 8
It’s the eighth day of the Inktober Challenge and today’s prompt is “match.” Now I have to admit, the first thing I thought of to skate by this one was to draw a match stick and be done with it. That was a pretty simple solution. OK, I could have sketched a pack of matchesContinue reading “Inktober Day 8”

Day 2 World Watercolor Month. This is an American draft horse breed that is also a color breed. This is a mix of watercolor and gouache.
Uh oh Frog
On my Zoom call today with Mike Lowery, we had to decide on what prompt to draw. Someone suggested a frog. We have frogs all over the place, here. When my husband and I go for our morning walk, we have to dodge these tiny little frogs. You can barely see them. One morning thereContinue reading “Uh oh Frog”
Horse on a bike sketch
I am taking Mike Lowery’s workshop “Getting Paid to Draw” and on our Zoom call, we were given the task to draw a horse on bike while he did his lesson. This is my horse on a wobbly bike. This is untouched except that I removed my notes around it. I might take this oneContinue reading “Horse on a bike sketch”
Time machine
The story of Florencia is also about a time machine. Part 2 of the assignment for Florencia is to create a toy to go with the story. This is my toy proposal. I had a bunch of ideas about the time machine. No specifics were given so we could do whatever we wanted. I thoughtContinue reading “Time machine”
