This week’s sketches

Happy Mother’s Day to the mom’s out there…It’s another week during Corona Virus World. I have been spending my time creating art, which is business as usual for me. We’ve been watching Ozark in the evenings and finished the first season and are in the second season. That series shows how lies just make peopleContinue reading “This week’s sketches”

April Dailies

Here are the daily doodles for the past four weeks. I just that I have three more weeks worth of pages in this sketchbook and I need to decide if I am 1) continuing these dailies (I like them so I probably will), 2) spend money on another 500 series Strathmore mixed media sketchbook (theContinue reading “April Dailies”

Sketches from this week

Occasionally I like to go out sketching with a group. Since I moved to Florida this past autumn, I haven’t had the chance to get out out to sketch with any local groups. Then the corona virus hit so I guess it will be a while before I do that again. However, all is notContinue reading “Sketches from this week”

That’s right, while snowing, Phil was brought out to make his predictions and to meet his fans, some came from as far away as the Ukraine to see Phil! One of my favorite days of the year. Watch theContinue reading “That’s right woodchuck chuckers….”

Daily Doodles Jan 20-26, 2020

Here is last week’s daily doodles, which ended today. This past week was a week of changes in my productivity process. I am using the Pomodoro Technique to stay focused and manage my time better.

Jan 13 – 19 and my NFL picks

Well it’s that time of year again. NFL Championships. Eagles didn’t make it thanks to the dirty hit by Seattle that gave Wentz a concussion. We’re still scratching our heads over how that wasn’t a personal foul. And our backup QB was playing with an injury. Oh well. Movin’ on to the 2020 season…. PhilliesContinue reading “Jan 13 – 19 and my NFL picks”

Another Morning Ritual…

Another of my routines in the morning is my morning pages. I have spoken of this before in previous posts. I have a sketchbook that I use for a daily routine of writing, sketching, writing what I am grateful for and setting an intention. I start off the day with two sketches. One in myContinue reading “Another Morning Ritual…”

End of 2019 Doodle Pages

Here are the last two pages of 2019. Doing the creative borders takes more time but I like how they look. I usually spend my Sundays on preparing the page for the week. In the 3rd photo, you can see how the beginning of the week looks before I pop the doodle into it.
