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 […]

Experimenting with Blind Contour drawing while drinking coffee. 😉 First just a sketch with the fountain pen. Then a blind contour (with my eyes closed) following the finger of my other hand. (In this case my left hands finger traced the mug while my right hand drew). 3rd is a typical blind contour sketch, just […]

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 […]

As I mentioned in my last post about the Sock Box, these two pantry boxes (plus the Rubbermaid type container) started as an Eagle Scout project. The Eagle Scout, being a member of the church, asked the church for permission and sponsorship. The church was excited to help. What started as one Pantry Library became […]

How Cool is this Sock Box? A local Middle School’s 8th grade Advisory Class placed the Sock Box they made near some community food boxes at a local church. Their teacher stated, “Our vision has been to give a place for community members to show their generosity, and for those in need to have community […]

I found this crystal Bic pen today and it brought back memories. I could resist sketching it. If I sketched it with my fountain pen then I should sketch my fountain pen with the Bic, right? 😂 #BicPenDrawing #BicPenArt #BicPen #BicPens #CrossHatching #CrossHatch #SketchForToday #QuickSketch #Sketching #Sketch #PenAndInk #InkAndWash #InkAndWatercolor #FountainPen #WingSung698 #deAtramentisInk #Watercolor #WindsorAndNewton […]

We bought some purple #asparagus the other day. Half way through dinner I suddenly realized that I should have sketched this. Doh 😣 @mom_aosved saved the day! “I took a photo.” Finally got around to sketching it today.
