Inktober 4 - Underwater

Got it done early today! Yup - procrastinating on the pile of work I must finish today. Always surprises me where these prompts take me. I had something else totally different in mind. I do like the fish.... I'm not very good at representational drawing. When I was very young, like maybe 9, our class went to the Walker Art Museum to see Andy Worhol's work. Abstract art for a young midwestern, suburban girl was a giant stretch. I clearly remember pondering a large sculpture of French fries. I didn't get it. The mere mention of abstract, modern, avant garde... would shut me down entirely. And, here I am doing mostly abstract art 50 years later. LOL

I think I finally understood art when I went to the Smithsonian's Mark Rothko color field painting installation. It was quite moving. I teared up. I finally "got it!" I still love Rothko's work. And, now am most inspired by Peter Deligdish www,peterdraws.com I have permission to be free.

Let's Get Sketchy - trying out sketchbooks

So, I've been inspired by Peter Draws on Twitch.tv and YouTube. Seems production is the key to growth and I know this to be true with writing so I'm trying it with doodling. I'm attempting to do a page a day in my sketch book. Wish me luck -- here is what I've got so far (in no particular order because this rural internet upload is paleo). 

I toyed with the idea of coloring this or using gel pen resist....then I got lazy 

I think this one should be turned on end; but, again I'm too lazy and it doesn't really matter does it?

Walnuts are all gone! This is my breakfast
