I’ve been very busy and not even taking time to doodle until today………This was done with watercolor pencils and brown stylist pen in my handy sketch book.

Almost Daily Sketches W/C & ink
Usually, I do my “almost daily sketches” in ink, but this time I laid down some watercolor and inked on top. This makes the picture more illustrative than a “true” watercolor, but I’ve always had fun with this. Enjoy

December Drawings
Well, as you can tell, the past few weeks have been hectic and I haven’t gotten too much done during this time. The drawings above were done with a sepia pen on 3-1/2 X 4-1/2 sketchbook that I carry with me in the hopes of grabbing a moment or two.
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and enjoy the drawings.

Almost Daily Sketches
Just a couple of quick sketches to get back in the groove. Each was done on my Canson 3 X 5″ sketch pad. Hope you enjoy!

More Almost Daily Sketches
Two more 3″ X 5″ sketches done with Micron Pen on sketchbook pad I carry with me all the time. My motto is: when in doubt, draw plants and flowers.

More Almost Daily Sketches
I found some daily sketches that I hadn’t posted. These were done at various times last year. As usual, they were done with a Micron pen on the small 3 X 5 sketchbook I carry in my purse. You never know when the muse might hit.
Enjoy.

Almost Daily Sketches
As you can see, these are not recent sketches. I’m working on a larger than usual pastel for me and I’m not ready to show it. In the meantime, I went back through my sketchbooks and found several that had never been posted. Let’s see: a pumpkin, a Chickadee, some tulips and an unidentified flower……..that just about covers it!
Enjoy!

Daily Sketches
Here are four daily sketches done the 3″ X 5″ pad that I carry in my purse with a couple of Micron drawing pens. Sometimes I draw things I see out the window while sitting in my car, other times I take bits and pieces from magazines and create a sketch from them. Although I call them “daily” sketches, and I do try to complete one in the morning to get the juices flowing, there are some days (even weeks maybe) that I just don’t get to it. All in all, I have an interesting collection and I share it with you from time to time.
They aren’t meant to be high art or will ever be framed. They are my way of getting into the zone of art no matter where I am or what I’m doing. I don’t worry if some turn out better than others. After all, even the days are like that, aren’t they?
I hope you enjoy the peek.

Almost Daily Sketches
I’m working on several things at once, but have to stop occasionally and get some drawing in. These were drawn (quickly, I might add) on a 3 X 5 sketch pad using a brown Sharpie. As you can see almost anything catches my attention when I’m in the mood. If you can’t identify the flowers, don’t worry. I took artist’s license to improvise as I went along. Hope you enjoy
Sorry the film is so faint. I should have stopped and made sure I had more light on the easel, but then there you are.
