More Sketches / Nicer Weather

Once in a while I like to play around with a water soluble ink pen.
This was just a little country scene.

The tulips are finally out...

More tulips at the park.

After watching an instructive video on measuring proportions, I had to try it out.
Not as easy as it looks. Practice, practice.

Bye for now...  k

Looking back

I found a few sketches in one of my drawing books that were interesting...
I usually have two or three going at the same time depending on what medium or location I might be at.

I did this one at a music/art retreat over in Detroit in March.

Here I was just playing around. 

I used some ink that was not waterproof and it decided to run into the color.

Have a great day. K

Winter... brrrr

We finally got all that snow we were waiting for. With it came some pretty fridgid temperatures.

Hubby loves his snow blower.

I did this little sketch while we were waiting for our lunch. It was date time at The Oyster Bar.

One of our favorite places whether it be summer or winter. Clam chouder and fish tacos got the nod today.

Stay warm... k

Flowers

We have a group of artists that get together once a week to work on our art and just encourage one another. It doesn’t matter what medium we choose to work in, we really enjoy each other’s company.

This particular day I chose to play around with some watercolor flowers.
They are small and ideas for greeting cards if I want.

Cold and snowy here in Indiana. I’m looking forward to spring as always. 😏

What’s New?

Guess it has been a while. Probably call it a slump or slacking off or other things taking first place. Not sure which.

I’ve been working on some family genealogy, calligraphy and of course the holidays were approaching. End of excuses!

I stared this piece sometime before Christmas. It’s a 10 x 20. I love boats and the water.

However, I wound up in the hospital for Christmas with some chest pains. Got myself a stent for Christmas. Recovery has been good and I found time to finish this piece.

Still playing around with the fun lettering and am trying to get back into the habit of sketching. I really miss my pencil time on the paper with a splash of watercolor.

Corner House

Ok... it has been awhile. Maybe I’ve been distracted or just not in the flow. Actually I’ve been busy, just not with anything artsy.

I started this piece a few weeks ago. I have lots of details yet to go but it’s a start. It was a friend’s rental turned historic so since I rather am fond of historic buildings, I thought I’d give it a go.

I’ve also been looking back over pictures that were taken several years ago. I’ve been puting them in an app that will be easier to sort through and find particular photos.

This one is a little painting I did today of a special ski slope. It’s called Snowridge and of course it was taken in the summer. My hubby used to ski here when he was in high shcool. Fond memories!
It’s in Turin, New York.

That’s all for now. Enjoy your day!

Freimann Square

The flowers around Freimann Square are really beautiful this time of year. It happened to be a nice morning for a little art. I only did a couple of small pieces. It’s still pretty humid out.

These are in my little 3 1/2 inch square sketch book.
