It’s been very smokey lately. We are in a drought. For the Pacific Northwest of Washington (the state, not the city) we haven’t had rain in 4 months and have some wildfires that are likely to continue burning until the rains/snows come. The weather has the feel of late August, very unusual for late October. […]

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 […]

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 […]
