Inktober 2023 Week 4

I forgot to load the last 5 images I did for Inktober. I opted to not complete the month – I had some bad allergy days, got behind, then chose to turn my energy to finishing Christmas ornaments. Here are the remaining 5. I do enjoy Inktober, but did not feel the push to finish it this year, which I found interesting. It was a fun challenge though.

21 – Chains (my childhood farm gate)

22 – Scratchy – barb wire and hairs from our cows

23 – Celestial

24 – Shallow – my cat’s dish

25 – Dangerous

Inktober 2023 Week 3

Week 3 started off with some murder mittens.

Inktober 2023 Week 1

This year I am absolutely swamped – with teaching a class, a busy tech writing contract, commissions, gifts, and more. Sooo…. something I had my students do is continuous line drawings as warmups. Well why not? They are quick.

Whoa! They are also humbling! Not easy at all, but very good practice for the artist’s eye and hand. So here we go!

  • Dream – Airstream above – always been a dream of mine to travel
  • Spider – our garden spiders as a kid
  • Path – a favorite birding path
  • Dodge – the Skydog Donkeys who dodged a bullet, literally, when rescued, and for some reason I labeled it “bullet” – you can follow them on Instagram as @skydogdonkeys
  • Map – Hummingbird migration!
  • Golden – Golden Retriever
  • Drip – The Cardinal in feeder of melting ice last winter
