I know, I know, kinda weird to post a breakfast sketch after dinner time, but there you go. It’s been a busy day. Oh, and I broke out the Crayola colored pencils, because why not? . . . #BreakfastSketch #CrayolaColoredPencils #Jinhaox750 #Jinhaox750ZebraGNib #StillLife #SketchWhatYouSee #SketchForToday #Sketching #Sketch #PenAndInk #InkAndWash #InkAndWatercolor #FountainPen #deAtramentisInk #MoleskineArtSketchbook #theoboatology ______(\____________/)______ […]

Some New Toys Came In The Mail
Somehow I broke the nib in my S Pen, so new nibs arrived. They fit and work. Yay! I also ordered some Jinhao x750 fountain pens to experiment with different nibs. I replaced the original nib with a Zebra G nib (a dip pen nib). Not only did it fit but also gives lots of […]

What Do These Three Have in Common?
That was the question for Children’s Time this morning. They are all “tools” that can be used for good. But we shouldn’t be hammering each other with the Scripture. The Bible is complex, but a theme running through is the Divine’s preferential treatment of those at the bottom: the widow, the orphan, the sojourner in […]

A Snack and a Sketch
Trying to settle myself after today’s Supreme Court decision which I see perpetuating the sin of misogyny. Sunday’s sermon now needs some tweaking. In the meantime, it’s OK to lament. . . . #Snack #Cheese #Sanpellegrino #StillLife #SketchWhatYouSee #SketchForToday #Sketching #Sketch #PenAndInk #InkAndWash #InkAndWatercolor #FountainPen #WingSung698 #deAtramentisInk #Watercolor #WindsorAndNewton #PentelWaterBrush #CrossHatching #CrossHatch #DerwentInktense #DerwentPencils #MoleskineArtSketchbook […]

Our Life as a Prayer – Pastoral Letter
Dearest Community, I came across the following quote from Dorothy Day recently and it got me pondering. I believe some people – lots of people – pray through the witness of their lives, through the work they do, the friendships they have, the love they offer and receive from people. Since when are words the […]

An Old Church in Seattle
It seemed OK to be sketching this during virtual Annual Conference. It is a church after all. And I was listening, even voting. Dropped the eldest off for the summer internship based out of UW last week. We weren’t sure how long the trip would be. Traffic is always an issue. Except it wasn’t. That […]

Only Now Does Juneteenth Become a Federal Holiday – Pastoral Letter
Dearest Community, It seems absurd that we never had a Federal Holiday to celebrate the ending of slavery until now. Juneteenth, of course, has been celebrated since 1865. But it took until June 17, 2021 for it to become an official Federal holiday in the United States. In celebration of Juneteenth, our local town put […]

Toyota Land Cruiser
When I was in Elementary School, I wanted one of these (in the light blue – I never saw an orange one). It’s no longer a desire of mine, although I still think they are cool. I had the car serviced at the dealership today and they had this soft-top on display. I couldn’t resist […]

Here’s Another Birthday Present
This one is from my other sister. It’s a fun toy pez dispenser that makes the Baby Yoda (Grogu) sounds. It was fun to sketch. I must admit, that while I did binge watch the first season, I haven’t watched it since, so please don’t give any spoilers. 😉 . . . #PezDispensers #BirthdayGifts #StarWars […]
