My Wife (@mom_aosved) picked these two up yesterday from Phia Handmade Jewery (@phia_handmade) at Home Farm (@homefarmfamily). They are so cool, I had to include them in my sketchbook! 😁 #avocado #HandCraft #bookmark #bookmarks #Sunday #SundaySketch #StillLife #SketchingIndoors #TooHotOutside #SketchWhatYouSee #SketchWhatYouCollect #SketchForToday #QuickSketch #Sketching #Sketch #PenAndInk #InkAndWash #InkAndWatercolor #FountainPen #WingSung698 #deAtramentisInk #Watercolor #WindsorAndNewton #PentelWaterBrush #GlobalHandBookSketchbook […]

Fill It Up, Please
Time to fill up the fountain pen. I haven’t cross hatched anything in a while, so this was fun to do, too. What I can’t believe is how much ink this pen holds! This is only the third time I’ve filled it up. But then, I’m not doing heavy cross hatching on a daily basis, […]

Fruit Still Life
Just for fun.

Keys
I remember being 16 and passing my driver’s license test. Keys meant freedom (if Mom and Dad let me drive the car 😂). What keys do you carry? In this case, a change means leaving some keys behind in order to pick up a new set of keys. May we be looking for ways to […]

For my wife and myself, the reality of discernment has always entailed more soul searching and taking a closer look at our spirits and […]

Seine Net is the same reflection series I have been doing on Sundays, just a new name. I wanted something a little more nautical oriented that also captured (get the pun?) the sense of my grabbing random bits of information to think about. Just as a seine net pulls up all sorts of things, some […]

(In this case my left hands finger traced the mug while my right hand drew). 3rd is a typical blind contour sketch, just […]

Low Tide High Tide
The tides have been extreme this week. The sun must really be helping Mother Earth to pull herself out of the sea. (Yup, that’s really how it works. You dirt dwellers have the wrong perspective. The earth moves, not the water. 🤪) #Tides #LowTide #TideWaters #Marina #MarinaLife #SketchForToday #QuickSketch #Sketching #Sketch #PenAndInk #InkAndWash #InkAndWatercolor #FountainPen […]
