Mimi and Me

Posted on October 21, 2021 by D. Katie Powell

VSW: And More Posies in Queenspark, Toowoomba!

Posted on October 7, 2021 by D. Katie Powell

Another from the lovely images from Amanda Thompson (@a21981 on IG) of Queenspark, Toowoomba. Love the poppy’s heads before they bloom, as if bowed in prayer. I don’t feel I did the delicate papery petals justice… I should have chose … Continue reading →

VSW: Echinacea Field

Posted on September 21, 2021 by D. Katie Powell

Dreaming of Monet… I saw an image of a field of echinacea in many colors and had to try to paint it — so cheery! I did not have the image to look at, from memory. Lots of artfully placed … Continue reading →

Posted on August 28, 2021 by D. Katie Powell

Wisteria Streets

Posted on August 24, 2021 by D. Katie Powell

I see wisterias in Portland sometimes, but not like I used to see them in Southern California — streets lined with them all over the older parts of Los Angeles and San Fernando, so old they created purple and green … Continue reading →

Dieting…. Argh!

Posted on August 18, 2021 by D. Katie Powell

I hate how easily my body puts on weight, and how slowly it takes it off, slower than slow, slower than anyone I know! Two weeks in bed and I put on about 10 lbs, which will take me a … Continue reading →

Izzee the Climber

Posted on August 12, 2021 by D. Katie Powell

She is incorrigible… A climber, and as she is an indoor, and mostly in studio cat, she climbs the metal racks (scares the crap out of us) and then makes sure we see her. We’ve put kleenex boxes in all … Continue reading →

Inky Thots: Birmingham Black Olive

Posted on August 2, 2021 by D. Katie Powell

Gads I love this ink! I am a huge fan of grey inks, and have never loved a black ink (though I’ve loved them for their waterproof qualities when sketching). This ink is not grey, and is not black… In … Continue reading →

World Watercolor Month: Sweet Peas / Creative Block

Posted on July 14, 2021 by D. Katie Powell

I am in a creative slump. I’ve been in this stuck place for weeks and pushed myself to sketch posies — which usually works — but nothing is working. Painting these flowers has been like slogging through mud. I told … Continue reading →

Inky Thots: Robert Oster Graphite

Posted on July 10, 2021 by D. Katie Powell

Robert Oster Graphite is one of five of my favorite greys, leaning into deep purple and blues when touched with water. I am on my third bottle. Above, a wet circle is ringed with Graphite, and left to dry on … Continue reading →

Posted on July 1, 2021 by D. Katie Powell

Berries in pretty blue glasses! What could be better? Okay, we added a little vanilla bean ice cream in one serving and that was good too! Ink painting, mostly Robert Oster inks, and Hoping Charlie will be okay with ink-painting: … Continue reading →

USk: NW Vaughn St

Posted on June 13, 2021 by D. Katie Powell

East street from NW Wilson by one block… flanked on both sides by homes similar to the ones on NW Wilson. Nice memories of buying Christmas trees for several years; no Christmas trees in June, so I took liberties with … Continue reading →
