Crow in the Snow

VSW: Sunflowers South of France
Direct watercolor. No lines, just wet paint. It is really so hard for me not to use lines! It isn’t that I don’t like my linework images — I do. But I also like what happens when I manage not … Continue reading

VSW: Duluth Lighthouses, 3
Split Rock Lighthouse may be my last in this series… I took the time to take process pics for you. I started with a watercolor pencil in a color that works nicely with the image. Moved to my favorite sketching … Continue reading

I Stand With Ukraine, 2
Posting sunflowers for Ukraine is a way to flood Instagram with messages of prayers for Ukraine. It is in actuality a fairly useless thing to do but it moves me when I see another artist’s images… I know that they … Continue reading

VSW: Duluth Lighthouses, 2
Of the three lighthouses I sketched around Lake Superior I think the Duluth North Pier Lighthouse is my favorite, mostly because of the challenges. Lots of people, lots of color and texture, and a lovely reflection in a puddle on … Continue reading

VSW: Duluth Lighthouses, 1
Our Virtual Sketchwalk group (Facebook) sketched Duluth, Minnesota. I was drawn (no pun intended) to the lighthouses. The first was the Superior Entry Lighthouse. It has fallen into disrepair and is covered with graffiti. I didn’t grow up around lighthouses … Continue reading

Raccoon
I was feeding the birds and as I tossed seed onto the shed roof of the dock I realized I startled a raccoon. I am glad I did, as s/he was heading toward Nicolai, which is not a good place … Continue reading

I hate the Fourth of July. There, I’ve said it. Not popular, and I’d like it if it didn’t threaten our livelihood in this stupid city. Every year we have to pack up our computers and such, and sit in … Continue reading

New Pen Day: TWSBI Eco
It’s not that I collect TWSBI Ecos… If I did, then I would have the Rose Gold variety, but they are not my thang. I do LOVE these pens, however. They are an ever-ready bunny pen, and hold a ton … Continue reading

VSW Vietnam, 2
In the midst of so much sadness having these lovely silk lanterns and the beautiful lantern shop with the bougainvillea in full blossom was a delight. It took me forever. Depression would pull me, sleepiness and distraction also overtaking me. … Continue reading
