Here is a chickadee I did recently in pen & ink.
#artyear #birdart #animalart #drawing #onlybeautifulthings
This is a black & white line drawing of a small chickadee in Sakura Micron pen. The bird stands on a branch, its body facing the viewer, with its head in profile, turned to the left of the image. The bird has a dark cap, a dark tail, & a mostly white body with some darker markings.

Anemone is a #favoriteflower of mine. Trying out pen & ink for the 1st time & not quite sure yet how to do shading. 😂 #smartist #artyear #flowers #onlybeautifulthings #drawing

Sock Monkey was thrilled to learn that he’s been honored with a public art installation - we spotted this contemporary sculpture on a dog walk at a park this weekend! The likeness is remarkable! #crafts 🧶 #animalart
This is a photo of a metal post, originally painted white but now with peeling paint spots. The top of the post is rounded, with a slight bulge near the top, resembling a sporty headband. On either side of the post, below the headband, is a rusty metal loop (one on each side), resembling ears that are askew. On its L side, the post has a rusty metal arm bent as if it has its hand on its hip. On the R side, across from the bent arm, is a rusty chain that hangs down limply m like a second arm. This is a photo of Sock Monkey handsewn from a brown cotton sock with a few colorful stripes. Sock Monkey has a red headband, black button eyes, and a long body. His right ear is lower than his left ear. He has his right arm bent in a triangular shape, his paw on his hip; his left arm hangs limply at his side.

Happy #blueskymonday from Roxy! #petportraits #gsd #germanshepherd #dog #dogs #dogsofbluesky #germanshepherds #rescuedogs
A happy black & tan German Shepherd dog stands sideways to the camera, with 1 front paw up. Her face is turned toward the camera & her mouth is open, showing her tongue. She is on a field of bright green grass with dark green trees in the distant background. Above her, the sky is pale blue with white clouds.

Ebi met salmon special: Sal, a neurosturgeon who schooled at Whale University! A reel music lover, he enjoys live Phish, sole music, & Wu Tang Clam. Favorite movies to stream are The Cod Father & Karate Squid. And he’s reading Their Eyes Were Watching Cod! #porkpuns #needlefelt #artyear #smartist 🧶
Two small, colorful, needlefelted sushi rolls sit side by side against a heathered lavender background. On the L is Sal, a salmon maki roll. Sal has green & yellow avocado & cucumber rolled in white rice with a black nori wrap. Sal’s smiling face is visible in the white rice, above the cucumber & avocado. Sal also has a piece of orange & white raw salmon resting on top of his roll. On the L is Ebi Roll, a shrimp maki roll with a smiling face & pink cheeks. Ebi has green & yellow avocado & orange carrot rolled in white rice with a black nori wrap. On Ebi’s head is a pale orange & white cooked shrimp with a bright orange tail. Both Sal & Ebi have little black outstretched arms that look like they are ready for hugging.

After months (I am embarrassed to say how many!) I finished this moth earlier this week in my art class, in prismacolor pencil. The blue in the background started out navy before I blended it with white. #acoloradaypril #smArtist #adaptation #artyear #artshare #drawing #onlybeautifulthings
This is a prismacolor pencil drawing of a light green & purple Spanish moon moth. The moth has 4 “eyes” that are purple & black with a bit of green & yellow. The moth has delicate, feathery antennae & a furry-looking brown & yellow body. The moth is perched on a leafy green plant against a background that is bluish, purplish, & white in places.

My daughter needlefelted these gnomes to hide in our friend’s garden for an Easter hunt this Sunday. One has a pepperoni pizza stuck in its beard; the other 2 have manic panic streaks in their beards. And all 3 have very #tan noses! #acoloradaypril #craftsbykids #needlefelt #woolart 🧶 #crafts
Three colorful little wool gnomes are lined up in size order. The largest gnome (L) has a yellow hat, red body, & gray beard with a pepperoni pizza stuck to it. The medium-sized gnome (middle) has a blue hat, red body, & white beard with a purple streak running through it. The smallest gnome (R) has a magenta hat, blue body, & white beard with a magenta streak. All 3 gnomes have tanned noses. They are lined up against a white cableknit backdrop.

Monday morning status update (a city sidewalk snapped on a dog walk this weekend).
#sensoryart #faces #smartist
Two bright yellow spots of paint (the “eyes”) on a concrete sidewalk appear above a horizontal seam (the “mouth”) in the sidewalk. The effect is of a face with a mouth set in a grim line.

Meet Carol (Broccoli) & Cate (Caterpillar Roll)! Carol thinks it’s so rice to have a friend like Cate, who is saucy & spicy! Plus Cate is a style roll model! Just look at her adorable seaweed wrap (a versatile accessory for chilly days)! #acoloradaypril (lime green) #porkpuns #needlefelt #woolart 🧶
Two needlefelted friends sit side by side. On the R is a broccoli with a big green bouffant hairdo (resembling Carol Burnett) & a lime green stalk. The broccoli has a smiling face with pink cheeks, as well as little legs. On the L is a caterpillar sushi roll with a smiling face, pink cheeks, and 2 outstretched arms. The caterpillar roll wears a slice of green avocado on its head, with orange tobiko sprinkled on top. The roll has white rice, green cucumbers, & unagi.

What could be more #gray than wet concrete on an overcast day? Roxy managed to find a spot of sun, though. #acoloradaypril #petportraits #dog #dogs #dogsofbluesky #germanshepherds #rescuedogs
A black & tan German Shepherd dog in a red harness stands over a wet, gray concrete sidewalk. The reflection of the sun is visible in the puddle beneath the dog’s belly. The dog’s hind legs & midsection are also reflected in the puddle, as is the leafy canopy of a tree.

I spent Saturday making floral centerpieces for a milestone bday party. This one has pale #pink butterfly ranunculus & a pale pink rose, plus red & yellow ranunculus, green hydrangea, & blue germander (I snipped the germander from my garden). #acoloradaypril #flowers #onlybeautifulthings #artyear
This is a photo, taken from above, of a colorful floral arrangement. The compact arrangement features pink butterfly ranunculus, a large pale pink rose, green hydrangea, yellow & red ranunculus, blue germander, and a variety of other green & magenta blooms.
