I used to make French Toast on a regular basis when my boys were younger. Yesterday as I was making myself breakfast, I got a hankering for French Toast, but since I already had breakfast cooking, I wasn’t going to change then. I decided to make it today. And I failed. Miserably. Yeah, I did … Continue reading French Toast gone wrong
Last night, I promised photos of the painting I'm currently working on. Please remember that it is a work in process, meaning it's not anywhere near done. It's an acrylic on wood panel. The picture above is an early one after I've gotten a bit of it blocked in. There's chalk marking where I want … Continue reading Pedestal work in process
I began setting up my tracking spreadsheet last night. Still trying to get used to it. Still have a lot of work to do, but at least it's a start. I feel like I've learned a lot today and gotten a lot done, even though it's just been in small segments. But that's the plan, … Continue reading Every day better
I painted today. Even finished the small painting I've been working on. Then I destroyed it. I liked the background and I liked the rocks I had in the foreground. Even the weeds were good. I had these trees in the middle that I hated the moment I put them in. But, today I'd even … Continue reading Destroying today
I had a change of heart. Last night when I wrote my blog, I didn't image that I'd ever be showing the painting I did yesterday. But as I proceeded with working through the technique it sought to teach me, I changed my mind. So, here is the painting: Yep, it really is that bad. … Continue reading Never meant to see the light of day
Well, today had kind of a rushed start. And, I felt like I was crawling through the day. The whole thing made me feel very uneasy. But, I woke up with an image in my head for that canvas I had swirled colors around on last night until I had nearly made mud. I wrote … Continue reading Short segments
Today's prompt is: Gargoyle. My first thought, of course, was to jump to the gargaxes. I've drawn a few of those. Yet the point of Inktober is not to ink old work, but to practice. So, I practiced. I'd like to think that I'll be able to participate in Inktober. I'm going to give it … Continue reading Inktober 2022 – day 1
I’m about to go play with some markers. But I remembered that before I did that, I needed to write my blog. Since I had to grab my sketchbook, I thought I’d share an image I have planted for a painting someday. It’s the picture above. Well, I’m off now to play with markers. I’ll … Continue reading Sketchbook
I finished the last of 6 charcoal tree drawings at the show today. Then I tried to write, but it was too hot under the canopy and sitting outside was hard to do. Yesterday, it was cold and we had a wind which kept it chilly throughout the day. Today, we got heat and no … Continue reading More charcoal trees
While out at the show today, a couple suggested that I watch The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society because movie was about a writer. Netflix claimed that it had a 55% chance that I'd like it. This is what happens when your children have ruled your queue for years. I did like the … Continue reading Charcoal drawings
