New Ink Challenge

Jake Parker, from Inktober, has created a new challenge! In addition to his yearly Inktober challenge, and to keep us on our feet year round, he has created a weekly challenge.  I am so excited!  With Inktober you are challenged to do a drawing a day for 31 days.  I usually make it to day 20 and am so far behind I just give up.
This is one drawing, once a week, for 52 weeks.  YES! I can do this!  Jake sends us a word prompt on Thursdays and today is Tuesday; this Thursday will be week 5 and I'm still on track.  Here are my drawings for the first 4 weeks:

Week 1: Flight

Week 2: Shadow

Week 3: Brick

Week 4: Snake

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy New Year!

And good riddance 2019!!

As my family and I were traveling to Wisconsin to spend Christmas and New Year's with my family I finished up this one because I wanted to start on a Christmas themed one:

I only got so far when my mom's cat Darcy decided I needed a little help with my colors:

I absolutely LOVE cats so there was no way I could move her.  Eventually she got tired and moved.  The next day I finished it up:

And this one I created before the pink and orange one above:

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!

#13, #14, #15, #16

#13  In Life... Stop and Smell the Roses

#14  Christ the Lord is Risen Today

This was not drawn around Easter but the three tangles that look like trumpets reminded me of this beautiful song.

#15  Ocean Waves II

I normally can't tell where I started drawing on the page but this one is easy because I colored it blue.

#16  Pink Potion

At this point when I was drawing these (again it was 2010) I decided that, instead of coloring in the designs, I would draw them a different color.  Since my favorite color is pink I naturally grabbed the pink marker which turned into Pink Potion.

Thanks for looking!
