I've been painting :-)

I have started a series called "Trees of Life".  It was inspired by an online class that I took late last year - Diane Culhane's "For the Love of a Tree".

I posted a couple of paintings from this class on this blog post.

This first painting of the series is titled "A Perfect Day":

And in the landscape with beings theme, this is ready for its first isolation coat.  I've titled it "We Gather Together As Friends":

Numbat and MOOdle

I had never heard of or seen a numbat until a couple of weeks ago.  It is kind of cute and I wanted to make a sketch of one :-)

Also known as a banded anteater.

And here is another MOOdle:

Ink, Copic markers, Sharpie markers.

Golden retriever fix ;-)

A promise MOOdle

This is a promise I have always made to my dog(s) - no matter what:

Ink, Copic markers.

Daily art journal pages and two rabbits

A couple of days ago I completely filled my second daily art journal.  Next up, a new journal - the blank page - uh oh.  To conquer the first mark/blank page trepidation, I make it a practice to open the journal and "sign" my name; that's the end of the angst :-)

From my just completed art journal this is how I signed the blank page:

Ink, gel pens, Sharpie markers.

And my new art journal sign in:

Ink, Copic markers.

Signing my name is a simple strategy to just get going :-)


As promised, two rabbits :-)

Brush pen.

A man, a mouse, and A MOO

These three "M"'s are from my current art journal.  I have one more page to complete and then this second journal will be full and done- more about that in the future.

A man:

A mouse:

Drawn with a brush pen.

A MOO:

Art journal doodling - MOO and word art

I have a MOO and a couple of word art words from my art journal :-)

First, the MOO:

Word art number 1:

Kind of a funny one.

Word art number 2:

Hm-m-m...

Doodling... so much fun :-)

Remy and a MOOdle

Remy was larking about in the backyard this afternoon:

He loves the cool, green grass.

He's looking at Michael - "Maybe a game of fetch?"

An appropriate MOOdle, don't you think?
