New Work in Progress

Uh-oh. Back to the drawing board. The bottom photo (which is how it looked last night) is looking better than what I did today. Hate it when that happens. I've got my work cut out for me tomorrow.

Child's Play - SOLD

Now I want to go marble shopping : ) I'm enjoying painting these but as you can see I only have a select few and I'd like to explore some other colour schemes. I think a trip to the thrift shop is in order.

And I've missed a number of Inktober sketches. With our Thanksgiving holiday, life got a little busy. Today I did a very quick sketch of this Halloween decoration hanging at my child's music school. Squeezing it in where I can!

Sweets

Salt water taffy and strawberry candies. Something that makes children smile. Do you remember when you used to get excited about candy? : )

Marbles + Inktober

I really enjoyed painting these marbles with the thick, juicy paint. Marbles are so pretty.
And above is today's sketch for Inktober.

Lemon Danish

Today's painting: a lemon danish. Usually my props do not appeal to me in the slightest after I've finished painting them but this was an exception. A mouthful of zingy, lemony goodness. Mmm.

My sketch for Inktober. This time I added a splash of colour.

"Donut Stack" and Day 1 of the InkTober Initiative

Someone brought donuts to work so I stole some of the leftovers to paint. In case anyone is interested in donut matters, they are from Tim Hortons. 
And in other creative news I have taken on the InkTober Initiative in which I intend to do a pen sketch each day of the month. I want to thank Crystal Cook for telling me about it : ) It began in 2009 by Mr. Jake Parker as "a challenge to improve my inking skills and develop positive drawing habits. It has since grown into a worldwide endeavor with thousands of artists taking on the challenge every year."
Today's sketch is of some office plants.
