Just a quick   HAPPY HALLOWEEN   to everyone before we head out to get some candy, be safe and have fun.

Well Hurricane Matthew is getting closer, we are expected to get the rough stuff around 2am so I don't think I will be sleeping very well tonight. We have decided to have the kids sleep in our room tonight since this is their first hurricane. Honestly, the last hurricane we were in wasn't nearly as bad as this one and it was 12 years ago, so I do have a little worry. In the mean time we still have power and I have decided to have a little fun while we wait for the inevitable. Say hello to Matthew So for day 6 of #inktober I took my hubby's advice and had a little cartoon fun with Matthew. I used my copic grey markers but I am limited on the ones I have so I will have to remedy that.  So for my Friends and Family that will have to endure this beast, please stay safe and those that are watching from afar, keep us all in your prayers especially those on the coast. Happy Inking

Day 5 of #inktober So what do you do when your not happy with a drawing? Study it and see what the problem is and work on it. I am not use to using just ink, and learning how to control it is somewhat challenging. I had started with the tree and felt it was a little lonely so I added the extras. Making this a spooky little drawing.  I decided to purchase a few more pens and a vial of Winsor & Newton ink that did not come with that over priced bundle I received and to be honest, I like the supplies I purchased separately much better. I also think I am going to break out the grey Copic markers also, I should have plenty of time to learn some control with this Hurricane heading our way, nothing but time, at least for one day. Happy Inking 

I am a day behind on posting for Day 2 of Inktober but that is ok.  I went with the prompt on this one "Noisy," as much as I would have loved to draw my children it would have taken too long.  Personally I love music almost any type, but the one thing I can't seem to understand, is when your in your car and a car beside you has the bass so high that it rattles your brain. I myself have never sat in a car with bass that high for fear that my ears or head would explode so I don't know if you can even hear anything other than bass. So here is my questions, they are to help others understand the reason behind the bass. What is the point of having the bass up that high? Can you hear anything other than bass? Is it a status thing, the higher the bass the cooler you are? Does it do damage to you vehicle? with all that vibration it has to rattle something loose, right? Well at least I know I will have a few more years with out hearing aids than the ...

Watercolor Painting #2 for my wonderful crazy customer (my mother) and Day #5 of #worldwatercolormonth. I am really liking the way the background came out on this. I think I will be done with painting coffee for a while, I really want to use the month to try new things with my watercolors. I made a promise and I finished the two painting that were requested. Now it is time to spread my wings  paints. I returned to work today with only a few hours of sleep, so I am beat. I had this horrible kink in my neck that woke me up every time I moved, thank goodness its almost gone because I look forward to coming home and not actually needing coffee to keep me awake. Happy #worldwatercolormonth
