Inktober, 21 Galley Sunflower
We had Sunflowers whose stems were not standing up tall. I popped them into smaller vases and spread their cheer throughout the studio. One place was in front of the many-colored Fiesta-ware plates in our studio galley. Middle-of-the-night. To hear … Continue reading

Inktober, 16 Four Sunflowers
Sunflowers make me sooo happy. They follow the sun, turning their faces upward and twisting to watch it. They are strong, never needing man-made support, a testimony to evolution. Their colors are brilliant and clear. Strength, clarity, ever hopeful, focusing … Continue reading
YouTangle, Inktober Review!
I have one regret… I didn’t find these before Inktober! I know why… I’m not an official zen-tangle person so I would not be looking. But I doodle, and these are great for that! These are perfect for Inktober — … Continue reading

Inktober, 10 Sunflower
I thought to add watercolor but may not… I like the linework! (Though the contrast of bright yellow and cobalt blue is enticing….). To hear about classes, follow me on Facebook or check out my new, improved dkatiepowellart.com “Memory is … Continue reading
Inktober, 6 Purple Posies
These lovely purple daisies, a ground-cover, also found on our walk to breakfast… so sweet, hardy, covering an entire small yard of a painted lady. To hear about classes, follow me on Facebook or check out my new, improved dkatiepowellart.com … Continue reading

Inktober, 5 Rose
A memory from our walk to the Standing Stone for breakfast. Nothing beats spending time with Mitchell. We saw Autumn straggling cheery street roses. I don’t know how they survive in poor light under the trees! I love my Nostalgie … Continue reading

Inktober, 4 Crows for Mitchell
Mitchell loves crows… our crows love him too. He talks to them when he is taking the trash to the dumpster, or parking the car at the studio, or out the studio window, and they know him. Of course, color. … Continue reading
Inktober, 2 Dogwood
Dogwood always reminds me of my Grandmother, Lyle Genevieve, or Mimi, and driving through the mountains around Grass Valley area where their ranch was… Even though we see it all over Oregon it reminds me of the California mountains. I … Continue reading

Wendell Berry Palm
Obsessed with palms in my sketchbook these days; I’ve always doodled them but I am working on bamboo furniture, which is palm-ish and so, more palms. This quote caught me, from where I don’t know, and dashed it on a … Continue reading

When Palms are Bad
This one is simply overworked. It doesn’t have the feeling of air coming through the palm leaves. I am okay with the ocean, flowers, etc. This should have been beautiful… Randy Boyd’s photo was gorgeous! I tried it again….. In … Continue reading

Color is Not Enough
Sometimes I start with color… I think color will be enough, because I am mad for color… But color is never enough. There is the line, and it has a lot to say. Because you can’t read my handwriting: Playing … Continue reading

Eagle Creek Fire Rain
The evening the rains came after the Eagle Creek fire, I felt so blessed. Skies which were grey with smoke and ash falling, suddenly had the blue of night. Actual color, yellow from the setting sun and the green of … Continue reading
