Year: 2022

A Queen Elizabeth rose, I believe. A sketch from yesterday as I pulled out my fude pen again. Rather fun. I’m finding that Instagram hasn’t been fun lately. Yesterday every third post was someone I was following and trying to see. 2 of the 3 were either an advertisement or a suggested real that had […]

The most challenging part is trying not to eat it while you’re sketching it. 😆 😋 . . . #WileyWallabyLicorice #Licorice #SketchBeforeYouEat #StillLife #SketchWhatYouSee #SketchForToday #Sketching #Sketch #PenAndInk #InkAndWash #InkAndWatercolor #FountainPen #Jinhaox750 #Jinhaox750ZebraGNib #deAtramentisInk #Watercolor #WindsorAndNewton #PentelWaterBrush #MoleskineArtSketchbook #theoboatology ______(\____________/)______ This is from the Rev.

Even though I didn’t need to serve jury duty (see previous post), this has been a busy week. I think my sketch book probably shows how busy I am by what doesn’t get finished and the dates between sketches. Will my future self remember what was going on this week? I guess it will be […]

And yes, I did catch the irony of yesterday’s Lectionary Readings (Psalm 82 is about a courtroom) and that we had chosen The Summons as an opening hymn (about a month ago). I would have served, but with a memorial service on Saturday, and some folks on Hospice and others coming home from the hospital, […]

With a family member coming to visit, we thought it would be a good idea to take a test. Still negative. 👍🏻 And now that I have replaced the nib in my S Pen, I thought I’d sketch the results on the tablet. (I have a 15 minute wait after all). . . . #SketchWhatYouSee […]

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 ______(\____________/)______ […]

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 […]

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 […]

Some new ink arrived in the mail today. Had to fill up my fude pen and give it a spin. I’m liking the brown. . . . #SketchWhatYouCollect #StillLife #SketchWhatYouSee #SketchForToday #Sketching #Sketch #PenAndInk #InkAndWash #InkAndWatercolor #FountainPen #Duke209fude #deAtramentisInk #Watercolor #WindsorAndNewton #PentelWaterBrush #MoleskineArtSketchbook #theoboatology ______(\____________/)______ This is from the Rev.
