I didn’t mean to leaf you hanging.😅 Sorry I’ve been MIA lupus has been kicking my butt (& my kidneys, heart, & joints). I’m wrapped up in hope and ready to try moving again. The battered tree outside my window is sprouting new leaves and flowers so I can release this leaf saved from last season. 🍃🍂

An old favourite of mine. #BlueSkyArtShow #silhouette #EastCoastKin #SensoryArt #light #acoloradAyPRIL #blue #ArtYear #PhotoHour #StormHour #photography #sunrise

Gulls perch on the stumps of an old pier and fishing boats are moored behind. As the sun begins to rise, the smooth sea is pale blue and the sky has a pinkish purple hue against the silhouettes.

Lambs frolicking in the field with the joy of living, spring, growth, and limbs that work seems the best of fun.

Making art and appeasing the green owl are the only things I can do right now.¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Every six months a friend takes me out to the coast to see sky. 😂

Day 29- Hook #Sketch #MakersmARTch #Pencil
How about the hook(ed) beak of this falcon? I’m studying books and videos by John Muir Laws on sketching birds. I want to improve my eye and my speed so I can capture the birds that visit me each day.

Day 25-Stab #MakersmARTch
#Watercolor #Art
I’m running a bit behind. Life keeps life-ing, but sometimes my body doesn’t body. I feel like a hedgehog but all my spines are pointing inward. 😣Here’s a little hedgehog 🦔 whose body has taken a stab at a golden leaf.

Watercolor painting of a hedgehog by the side of a fence in a pile of green and yellow leaves. Its quills have stabbed one golden leaf which is stuck on the back of the critter.

Day 24- Pattern #Ink #MakersmARTch
The Count has little patience for interruptions.
Pattern meditation and a foray into character design.

Pen and ink illustration of a thin and spiky man (maybe he’s a vampire) sitting in a plush chair wearing a floral print ruffled shirt with a vest and breeches. His expression is angry and annoyed.

Day 22- Draw #Sketchbook #Ink #Pencil #MakersmARTch
Another blast from the past. This prompt from a 30 day challenge in 2016, Draw Something Mythical, seemed perfect for this prompt too. Meet Big Foot, Caught in a Private Moment.

Pencil and ink drawing of Sasquatch (Big Foot) crouching in a stand of trees and ferns, picking flowers. The cartoon style creature is looking towards the viewer with a surprised expression. Text on page: “April 2, 2016”, “#30 day Challenge day 2”, “Caught in a Private Moment”, [the artist’s signature], “Draw something mythical”.

First I draw a pattern, next I gather wool, silk, ribbons, lace, fabrics, dyed cheesecloth, floss and beads & the fun begins!

Day 21- Spray #MakersmARTch #Watercolor #Art
It’s a challenge for me to paint loose. My art came out of me trying to control something in my life. My new goal is to trust and let go of that hard won control. Here is my attempt to capture the waterfall spray without touching it.

Monochromatic Watercolor painting of multiple waterfalls. Birds fly over the chasm.

Colorful koi are stencil spray painted onto black asphalt in an alley. There are a lot of them, and they are swimming different directions.

Day 20-Print #MakersmARTch #Art
Look what I found! In the dusty spiderweb festooned corner of the garage I unearthed an old portfolio from my school days. Here is a print from my printmaking class. I remember bleeding a lot during this class. I’m glad the linoleum isn’t as hard to carve nowadays.

Monotone print of a fantastical landscape with under water or extraterrestrial elements and a pair of eyes floating in the sky.

Wing print in the snow. This most commonly happens when a raptor drops down to catch or attempt to catch a critter for a meal. I had to dig back to a photo from 2018 for today.
