RBG Missed #notinktober
I have a few sketches of her passing in my journal. I was a fan long before, and if you haven’t read her biography, it is a great read. She was what we need right now… NOT Amy. I love … Continue reading

VSW Sydney, 5, #notinktober
Art in Sydney Image for reference by Debi Taylor, shown bottom. Started with a line drawing, as always. This artwork was frightening in its twisting complexity: I almost gave up many times… but then there is that half-finished drawing in … Continue reading

Booksellers #notinktober
We watched the movie The Booksellers and it was so good…. I want to step back in time to a different place where things were slower and instant gratification was not the high point of everyone’s life. So many great … Continue reading

Amy’s Girls #notinktober

Birthday Cooking 2020
We spent a weekend cooking for ourselves… WE both have arthritis and need things that work for us, and many “gluten-free” items are made with potato flour, because cooks think that doesn’t bother people — but that is also a … Continue reading

Recovery
No, not the twelve step kind… Needing to recover after work weeks of complete crazy.. A prompt circulating to day is “disgusting”. I see Trump in the feeds more than any other item. But you know, even the tag I … Continue reading

Inky Sky #notinktober
Pure color. Not easy to do a wash in inks (or watercolor, but I find the latter easier). I think it is because you are adding a bit of water in the waterbrush, and the ink doesn’t really want to … Continue reading

Australian Sky Buddha
My sketchbook is about exploring, and I wasn’t completely happy with my first Buddha. I tried another using TWSBI Eco 1.1 with Robert Oster Australian Sky Blue ink. This is a Buddha-of-the-Sky! What do you think? I call him Buddhaball … Continue reading
