Scarlett’s Dress

Posted on January 23, 2017 by D. Katie Powell

Rustic Happy Rooster Cup

Posted on January 19, 2017 by D. Katie Powell

Bright Ideas, Silver Roses

Posted on January 15, 2017 by D. Katie Powell

Going back to my Bright Ideas journal for the 365 drawings a day. I love my Platinum Carbon pen but really, the ink is so reflective that it shines in scans and in photos… I don’t like THAT! That is … Continue reading →

Kamala Reflections

Posted on January 13, 2017 by D. Katie Powell

My grief when Jai died was overwhelming. I did not write much or draw him after — I have several starts, unfinished. Maybe I am just ready now to deal with the onslaught of grief that has been happening in … Continue reading →

T. P.

Posted on January 12, 2017 by D. Katie Powell

Ruby Hotel, Spokane, WA

Posted on January 10, 2017 by D. Katie Powell
