I have been doing a lot of Photography this weekend with my husband went on a Photo Tour and did some Nature photography. This last week I was writing some Haiku poetry which I really enjoy. Visited the Ceramic Paint Studio last weekend. I stay pretty busy.

If you haven't seen in my other blog posts I have been inspired by Owls. I have attempted to draw a few.

"I'm a bit of a night owl because that's when I feel 

the most creative and alive".

This week I have just started to try some Rock Painting. I seen this online and it looks really cute. 

Here is a link to the site:  Painting on Stones.  Maybe next week if all goes well I will share the results. : )

These are the rocks I found while out doing Photography
I have sketched out a cat and owl on 2 of them.
I have just started this.

I am still continuing with "icad - Index Card a Day" challenge. I have done all the prompts/themes for each day. Only Star Wars did I do another type of Card. (which you are allowed to do). I just wasn't loving it. You should just remain creative everyday mainly. These are two from the last few day. This challenge I feel has made improvements in my abilities.   

Thank You for visiting. Have a Great Week. : )

The desk looks pretty much the same as last week. This week went by fast. The "icad - Index Card a Day" Prompts this week are good ones. I have really enjoyed creating them. I went to a Ceramics Studio this week and hand painted a necklace pendant and a breakfast board... ceramic not wood. That wasn´t really on my desk. But a creative thing this week. 

My work space with my pencil sketchbook on it.

An Owl Sketch. I have been inspired lately to draw Owls.
I really like them. 

Me wearing an Owl  t-shirt I found while out shopping.
I found it to be a really cool graphic.

That is what is new this week. Thank You for visiting. Have a Great Week. : )

Sketches

Two random sketches. I started with the eyes and built off of that; with no idea what they would look like.  After the face was finished I decided how the hairstyle would be. And an Angel sketch inspired by a cloud formation. 

Thank You for visiting. 

Sketch from tonight

Sketch from yesterday morning while having Coffee.

Inspired by a cloud formation. I used my wooden
artist mannequin for a similar pose and added wings.

I have been doing the "icad- Index Card a Day" each day since it started. I  have been writing some poetry this week and started a new poetry blog from this one. In hopes to keep things more organized.  Below are photo and about what is going on there. :)

Have a Great Week Everyone... and Thank You for visiting my Blog. 

The work desk as it is now. : )
I use a piece of paper as a mat. I doodle, make notes, and use it to test
watercolors color before putting on the artwork.
I drink coffee and tea at my desk. You can see that. ; )
My Compose is there too a tool for measure and proportions.
I got new Water-soluble wax pastels. I like them. 

A sketch I drew while having coffee this morning.
The mandela is for the green prompt
for the index card a day - icad.
The pencil case shows my watercolor pencil and  new x-acto knife
 (the scissors are good but not good enough sometimes).
I use reading glasses for detailed work. 

Sketch I did last night. Inspired by a cloud formation i seen this last week.
I posed my wooden art  mannequin in the same position I remembered seeing.
Added wings and added my own details. 

Icad - Index Card a Day. Tag was the prompt for this one. 

Sketch I drew early in the week....

...drew again 2 days later and watercolored this one.

The whole workspace.
A little messy. 

A sketch and 2 of the index card art
from Index Card a Day Challenge. 

More of the art work. My glasses help
very much with detailed small work.
The candle is Coconut Vanilla scent.
I burn this sometimes in the evening
relaxing with my Chamomile Tea.

My new Gel Pens and Markers.
For adding details and color.

I am going to cover this can/pen holder
with collage very soon.  I did Knit a cover
for my other pen holder. Recycling at it´s best.
Large and original.

Inspire Me Monday 

I have been drawing "Characters". They have their own looks and expressions as real people do. It is fun to create them. I have thought as many people who draw have thought about making a childrens book or comic type art. This week (as always) I am inspired to develop new Characters. I am sharing a few I have made in this last few months. 

"Storytelling is ultimately a creative act of pattern recognition. Through characters, plot and setting, a writer creates places where previously invisible truths become visible. Or the storyteller posits a series of dots that the reader can connect".

Douglas Coupland

"I start drawing, and eventually the characters involve themselves in a situation. Then in the end, I go back and try to cut out most of the preachments".
