My copperhead pen & Ink. It's sort of a Where's Waldo effect.

Well, yes, that's understandable, but it's still beautiful scenery.

What a great caption. And it's sweet that he trusts you enough to stop at the feeder when you're outside.

I've been recording that show, but haven't watched it yet. I've read some good reviews online & have high expectations when I do watch it.

Oh my goodness, what will they think of next? That would be fun for people who like scary movies(not me, I'm a wimp). Congrats on your streak, hope it continues!

Oh my, that is a firm no. He doesn't know what he's missing!

Oh, the foliage is so pretty and this is a wider view than we usually see.

That one looks very aerodynamic, as if it's going to zoom away, just like a real insect.

jkhsquonk @jkhsquonk.bsky.social · 18h

What a beautiful view. Really like the moss covered rocks.

One of my favorite shows returns tonight & I'm really looking forward to it, especially with the guest stars.

I'm glad I've never tried using the powder, with my clumsiness, it would've ended up all over the floor and turned the room into a home disco. And I don't have the playlist to make that work!

jkhsquonk @jkhsquonk.bsky.social · 1d

You're welcome. :)

jkhsquonk @jkhsquonk.bsky.social · 1d

Oh, I see, I didn't know how it worked. That sounds hard to control, so all of my ideas are not practical, sorry. I thought you could paint it on after the ink dried. Using a powder like that would be difficult. Eeek!

Yes!

jkhsquonk @jkhsquonk.bsky.social · 2d

You're welcome.

Oh good, packing can be monotonous, so you need a break & it will recharge your batteries, so you'll probably get more done. Hope you have a fun day with your friend. Do they live far away? Is that why you won't see them till next year?

jkhsquonk @jkhsquonk.bsky.social · 2d

Hadn't seen Ascent, but like how the dragon is above the landscape(skyscape?), that's a nifty touch. The one with 2 moons is one of my faves.

jkhsquonk @jkhsquonk.bsky.social · 2d

Really like this one with all the strong verticals and the bold markings of the bird.

That was an enjoyable video & I liked seeing the various kinds of frogs. The green one at the end was especially handsome.

jkhsquonk @jkhsquonk.bsky.social · 2d

I like how the tree that the wren is sitting on circles around to draw the eye back to the hen. This piece has a sweetness about it, imagining what the 2 birds are conversing about.

Hen and Wren.
Ink and gouache on Fabriano Medioevalis, approximately 95 × 64 mm.

Drawing in black ink, primarily in silhouette, of a hen and a Wren regarding each other quizzically. The hen stands in a patch of wild grasses whilst the wren perches on a small, leafless shrub in front of her. The hen's comb and wattle are the only touch of red gouache. The drawing is finely wrought and intricate. The piece is roughly the size of a business card.

Hope the garage sales is a success & that you have good weather for it. Enjoy the visit with your BFF, too & have fun.

his was fun to watch. And shows the patience and intricacy that your work requires and what makes it so distinctive, along with the humor you infuse it with.

This clip is from 2019. This was a larger piece and here I was using a Kuretake synthetic fountain brush pen rather my usual Chinese brush.

A nice assortment of dramas this time. #LastFourWatched #FilmSky #letterboxdFriday

Row of movie posters from last four watched, including Ladies in Lavender, Four Letters of Love, Roman J. Israel, Esq and the 2nd Downton Abbey movie.

It's understandable that you'd feel upset, but reducing the stress about it will probably be much better for your health. It sounds like you have a well thought out plan & a realistic view of what it will bring, which is very sensible. Hope that it will work out. Stay strong!

You're welcome. Would the gold variations work with sunlight or autumn leaves or even tree trunks? It sounds like an intriguing effect to try, no matter what the color. It worked great with the blueish tone!
