Inspiration
I’ve been working on developing an animal illustration style after taking a class by Liz Kohler Brown and using brushes by Liza Glanz.
Liz created a class called “Design Your Animal Illustration Style” for her The Studio community. I’ve finished the lessons, but have much more to do.
So far, I’ve written about my style development here:

Mom’s Kitchen
In the 1960s Mom’s kitchen was painted a light but bright turquoise. The cabinets were cream colored and so was the pantry and the wall behind the stove, so the color was not overwhelming, but comfortable. The table is now in our kitchen. Here it is at Thanksgiving in 2022:
The Art
Just a quick sketch of mom’s kitchen for today’s doodle. I miss the supper time conversations…

Quick Paint in Splash Grid Style
As I said in this week’s Wednesday WrapUp, I wanted to change styles and stay with the lemon theme prompt from the Catcoq newsletter.
Today, I returned to one of my favorites: splash grid style:

Mom’s embroidered dish towel on flour sack
Inspiration
My family asks us to write a post a week for Storyworth to share a bit our history to pass on to family. I am behind and need to catch up. Today’s question is: “What is one of your favorite holiday meals?”
The Story
Of course I loved Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners with all the cousins to play with. I loved the turkey, cranberry sauce,…

Wednesday WrapUp Lemons
Lovely Lemon, Leaves, Ladybugs, and Pansies in a mini collection
#CreateWithCatCoq @catcoq
#cldoodle24 #warmup4art #lemons #ladybugs #leaves #pansies
Inspiration
In today’s Catcoq newsletter, she suggested a citrus prompt: lemons. I searched through my color palettes and found one I love: lemon yellow, dark magenta, spring green, dark teal, and red orange. I love purple/magenta, and often use a similar palette for patterns I’ll sell on Red Bubble and Spoonflower– to create clothing and fabrics for myself and family. Because of this, I decided…

A Little Note
The Photo:
Pod of pelicans on Banks Lake,on their way to breeding grounds in Canada
The Thought:
How fortunate we are to live in a migration zone for so many water birds that land in Banks Lake on their way to and from their winter homes and summer breeding grounds.
We see pelicans, swans, cranes,…

pet portrait: inspiration— grandson's beloved dog, Sugar and combined contour drawing and watercolor styles
#warmup4art #cldoodle24 #maydoodle #petportrait #contourdrawing #watercolor
Inspiration for the Pet
Today is one of my grandson’s birthday. When he was very young, in second grade, I think, he wrote his parents a letter, begging them for a dog. And so Sugar was adopted– the brown one in the photo:
Sugar [front]
Since he is now twenty-two and towers above everybody, I thought I’d remind him his request and the pet dog he loves dearly by creating a birthday card with a…
