Tiny Study From New Mexico

Watercolor

A Tiny Study

This is from Mississippi, where we were some days ago.

Driving Days 4

Oh, the Places We’ve Seen....

Passing through so many kinds of places:

Mississippi waters

That’s a battleship out there.

These might provoke battles. 

So many skylines. 

I think this is Louisville, Kentucky. And the next.

And they all flew by. We are stopped in some place past Indianapolis.

Another tiny study. 

A sky in Louisiana. We are far from there now. 

Inktober and Stuff

Nothing super fun to see...

I've been doing a lot of cleaning in our apartment (It seems some mice moved into our oven while we were on our trip. Oh, joy.) dabbling with ink and pens for Inktober, and trying to get some more hiking in before the weather turns cold. Also, applying for a new second job, and working the few hours my other job can spare.

A Kitsune thing that I made for one of the Inktober lists' prompts. I decided not to post it on Instagram, because I couldn't stand its face haha, but I don't really have anything else to show for now, sorry.

Sunset in Texas

This is a very tiny study.

Somewhere South

I see water color possibilities here. 

And elephants on the bed.....

 

More Aquarium

A Few More from National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth

Amazing diversity in God’s Creation

Museum Visit Encore

Hello from Colorado 

I am in the States now for family business, but here are some more pretties from my visit to the Victoria and Albert Museum a bit ago.

The famous Three Graces

This photo is terrible, of a small painting under glass, but the expression is perfect: the painting is entitled “A Naughty Child.”

Queen Victoria herself, or a good likeness anyway.

This is what one gives to one’s queen to celebrate her jubilee. Gold plated silver, from a military company. 

The photo is through glass, but that is the museum experience. You can still see the amazing craftsmanship of the sculpture.

Putti contemplating mortality with some marvelous reflections in a mirror.

Much Drawing From LIfe

While I was visiting with some of my younger sisters, I talked with them about drawing from life, and they showed me some of their work.

These were from Naomi:

And from Bethany:

There was one other one from Bethany, too, but apparently I lost the picture I took of it. :/

I drew this during my time in the area, using a regular pen to scribble down what I saw, like usual:

Well, it's officially Autumn, and I kind of want to try to do Inktober this year...We'll see how that goes, haha.
