September 30-in-30 Challenge – Wrap-up and Summary
So the September 30-in-30 Painting Challenge hosted by Leslie Saeta has ended and I managed to do 25/30 paintings for the month. That’s not too bad, actually, considering I had a mild art block in the middle of the month and then life happened for a bit there. I really did want to do the […]

So here’s that background I posted yesterday, finished with some retro circles in purple and crimson. I just felt like doing something simple so I got out the circle template and had some fun. Along with my trusty crow quill pen, this is the result. Day 17 – “Bubbles” Watercolor on paper 4″ x 6″ […]

Hey, two weeks in a row! I’m on a roll! And I realized that my idea of time when working on a painting is skewed. I was finishing up today’s piece and thought to myself “This didn’t take too long” but then I looked at the clock and realized I’d been working for almost 2 […]

So I decided to take part in INKtober this year and found that I really enjoyed the “formal” structure of doing an ink drawing a day. Or at least attempting to do a drawing a day. I ended up with 22 total pieces out of 31 days, which isn’t too bad. I didn’t try to […]

Another instance of not knowing where my titles come from. The reference is to a Science Fiction classic (which I’ve oddly not read) by Samuel R. Delaney, Stars in my Pocket like Grains of Sand. This is a merger between my Sun and Moon series and my Retro Circles series, plus it was rather fun […]

Naming this piece was easy. Sometimes I have trouble, sometimes the name just comes to me without a problem. “Lady Sings the Blues”Retro Circles seriesWatercolor and pen on paper, 7.5″ x 9″
