Mary J. Melange blogger friend and lover of photography,
shared wonderful images and I stole a few (with her permission),
and this one caught my eye last night.
I think I was needing some peaceful fishing energy…
As it is Inktober, I started with an inked drawing then added colored inks.
More success this time, especially with the grisaille, but even the blues and greens.
Watercolors, some blotting to varigate, splatters and wa-lah!
Middle of the night, Inktober.
Pentalic Aqua Journal, Platinum Carbon pen with Platinum Carbon ink;
Noodler’s, De Atramentis Document inks;
Sennelier, Holbein, and Daniel Smith watercolors.

Yes, and I think Mary was using the fishing rod as a way to ensure her peace and quiet!

I love the way you rendered this into such a peaceful painting. Not that the photo isn’t peaceful, but she looks way more relaxed in watercolor 🙂

Katie, I absolutely love the Inktober rendering of my photo. That day of fishing was so relaxing…no agenda except to soak worms and maybe talk stupid with the girlfriends. You captured that moment and that day perfectly. Thank you!

Lovely image from Mary and always a precious artist’s renditiin of yours Kate. I’m posting some photos in a bit I feel you will enjoy. I have one more “free” day before returning to regular work routine. We are getting things “righted” in the wake of Matthew.

Thank you — Mary loved it and that is a gift in itself! I know you will post to us privately — I wanted to know if you had much property damage — saw the neighborhood and it looked like it survived better than some. I finally have a Pinterest page of commissions and images from my friends turned into painted sketches (I am SO bad at Pinterest): https://www.pinterest.com/dkatiepowellart/friends-and-commissions/

I am preparing a blog post right now. Nature suffered the most damage in our immediate area but there was home damage and in other areas, closer to the beach, the effects were more devastating. Our home was not damaged. I love the idea of Pinterest, but too often when I get sucked in I end up on a wild goose chase, never finding what I was directed to in the first place. Thanks for the link. I will check it out later on. You are a very industrious person. 😀 All that and immeasurable talent!

Yes yes and yes. I am glad you suffered no damage, sorry about the others. Florida is a wild toad ride, pun intended!
