N’Inktober: Finale
And the last week closes with a final piece in watercolor and ink style. I’m very pleased with my efforts this month, and looking forward to focusing on other things than art next month – as much as I love doing my art, it isn’t exactly received with much comment, so I’ll go back to…

N’Inktober Week 3
October has been a roller coaster, folks. I know I haven’t been blogging – it’s difficult to be relentlessly cheerful in the face of things out of my control, and I’m struggling to keep my feet under me and moving forward. I am, however, finding small joys in the daily artworks. This year I have…

N’Inktober: Week 2
Not to jinx myself, but while some Octobers have been chaotic wild with the art challenge on top of everything else, this one seems to be allowing me time for creativity at least so far. I’m pretty happy with most of my output. If you’re seeing this before the explanatory post last week, check out…

Inktober Fountain Brush: Review
This Inktober is, for me, less about the daily art than it is about being able to explore the media, the tools, and expand my repertoire. So I made ink, and I’m testing out new pens. These are not your ordinary pens, though. They are super-cool translucent piston-driven cyberpunk pens! Ok, maybe not really.…

MinInktober
It’s October, and that means several things. One, my birthday is coming. Which is, ok, not something I fuss over at my age, but this year my gift is extra special so I’m excited. Two, fall foliage and wine-scented days shuffling through crisp leaves and the brief perfection of fall weather… which Ohio is not…

Inktober Part 2
The second section in what will be a three-parter this year. It’s been very busy, and I had a small health hiccup that set me back a bit for time – which is why the blog went quiet for a couple of days, sorry. Life, work, and family: they all have priority. However, I have…

Inktober: Part I
I’m taking part in Inktober again this year. It’s a great challenge, and since I was already trying to do daily sketches, I’m doing it daily in 2017! In the past I’ve managed once a week, I think, so this ought to be fun. I’m also using the prompts the originator of the challenge, Jake…

The Ink Life
I’ve been doing Inktober this year. I can’t manage it every day, some days are just so busy that I can’t even sketch a quick doodle. Others, like yesterday, let me fill pages. One of the things I’ve discovered and am having fun with, is that my kids appreciate my art. My Otaku Princess requested…

Brushstrokes III
I’m still painting, and I don’t think I will stop when October and the Inktober challenge ends. I’ve been experimenting with adding color, and the alcohol inks are still a challenge but I’m getting a better feel for them. I will be setting up a shop in time (when I have time) and selling originals.…

Brushstrokes II
The continuing work I’m doing for Inktober, and my own amusement. Several people have encouraged me to consider doing a children’s book, for now I’m holding off on that simply because I haven’t got a story… I’m sure that will change if I think about it long enough. Art is easy to formulate in my…
