Inktober 8, Summer Artichokes in my Da Vinci Monterey Trio!
Mmmmm, this summer the organic artichokes were amazing. We had them every week! This is one of those tests of soul-mate compatibility: Are you a hot butter or a Mayo person? (NO Miracle Whip!) My ink-only sketch was too fuzzy … Continue reading

Inktober, 7 End of Day
Raining, and that is the good news. Rain cheers us. There is no good news in the USA today. They are confirming Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Oh yeah, I left of the ‘H’ in my journal… oh well. Done … Continue reading

Inktober, 6 Hari-Kitty in Terror Mode
He’s settling in nicely, but gets into terror modes, or tiger modes, where he rips through toys, cats, boxes, and gets into so much trouble… Maybe he is Trouble. Or Terror. We’ve named him then it is not quite sticking. … Continue reading

Inktober, 4-5 Ginger Coffee
Every other morning I cut fresh ginger for our coffee. The ginger is sliced as thin as I can slice it, a bit of a contest between me and myself. I used to break the “hand” into pieces, and slice … Continue reading

Inktober, 3 Kavanaugh
The hearings upset me. The betrayal of Senators to do the righteous thing, to allow a full investigation, upset me. To know that it is likely that this unhinged man, alcoholic, probably a serial sexual abuser will sit on the … Continue reading

Inktober, 1 Changing Seasons
Suddenly it is Autumn. I know that this was coming, by the smell of the air, and quality of light, but then it is here. And I was about to mourn for the last of the berries, especially the Chesters, … Continue reading

September Art Journaling
I’ve seen variations of this several times with dogs and tried to do one on cats… and as I was doing this the actual poem came to me, and I went to find it in an old journal! Giving the … Continue reading

Inktober 9, Goodbye Can Opener
I haven’t named our can openers, but the old green one (top) has memories. I did what I could to keep it going, lubricated and all that, but at some point, it died. Froze. Creaking. Would no longer move. We … Continue reading

Inktober 5, USk Ross Island Bridge
It started with a sketch looking north at the Ross Island Bridge while waiting to see a client, a beautiful fall day. In anticipation of Inktober coming, I also had a waterbrush filled with diluted grey ink. Watercolors back in … Continue reading

USk: Water Towers
I’ve been getting my pens in shape for Inktober. I had received a Goulet nib in the mail and was out sketching the water tower in NE Portland… The dang Conklin nib is sooooo awful, I switched it between sketches. … Continue reading

USk: Broadway Bridge
Traffic has a few good points… I added watercolor later, and after I bought a couple of new colors. I swear I am never ever going to be seduced by a Daniel Smith color name again. “Burgundy Yellow Ochre”??? I … Continue reading
