This piece is 8 x 10 inches. I had fun playing with shapes, colors and trying to create a three dimensional look.

"Shawnee"

It was a rainy day here in Shawnee County. I got absolutely nothing done around the house. All I managed were the obligatory walks with Asha and doodlling in the studio. I just wish I had a few elves around to do some cleaning and tidying while I spend my time in more enjoyable pursuits. Oh well, at least Asha doesn’t care if the house is a mess.

"Follow"

"Synergy"

I hope to improve my level of technical skill in using ink pens by doing these practice pieces. These are definitely not where I would like them to be.

Pod and Vine

Nothing seems to come out looking normal these days, but maybe that is good.

Listening for the Unspoken Word

It seems that I am always waiting to hear what is never said.

Network

Just an abstract doodled piece. It has been a relaxing fall weekend with warm temperatures and fallen leaves slowing blowing. These are good Asha-walking days.

Angel of the Buried Bone

This is the final card that I made for a swap at iATCs. The other cards in this series may be viewed here.  This card was inspired by my dog, Asha Zoe, who loves to take the treats I give her out to the back yard and bury them.  She will bring them back indoors at some later date, after they have been sufficiently aged and are totally gross. She must have an angel who watches over this process, because she never gets sick after consuming one of these atrocities.

Family Ties

The last couple of months have been a little rough. My mom was in hospitals and other facilities for around six weeks and I had two long bouts of flu. Hopefully, things have settled down. My mom is doing well and other than still having a cough, I am feeling better. I finally spent some time in the studio today, fiddling around with this piece. My back and hand ache, but it was good to draw again.

Happy fall!
