Inktober 2018 Comes to an End Until Next Year… Inktober 2018 comes to an end. It’s a bittersweet feeling for me. It was both rewarding and frustrating. It was what it always is…a challenge. This year, I can proudly say that I didn’t fall behind at all. I kept up. In fact, there were some […]
Inktober 2018 So Far So Good We’re 17 days into Inktober 2018 and so far, I’m keeping up. It’s been a challenge keeping pace and some things in my daily schedule that aren’t an immediate rush have been put on hold. But I thought I’d take the opportunity to run through how things are going […]

Our pets become part of the family. “Keo-boy”, my siamese, was just a month shy of 20 yrs old. It was very difficult when I had to put him down. It was so hard that I even had him cremated. Myra surprised me with a picture of him, which sits in my bedroom til this day. “Babe” followed “Keo” & if you know a bit about Maine Coons you know they have long beautiful hair with striking patterns. She surprised me one Xmas with a portrait of the big boy. I can’t believe it is done with only pencil. She captured every detail perfectly. I have known Myra all her life, as I am her auntie. She has always had a knack for drawing. At 4, she even placed her artwork on my white leather chair! I have seen her develop into a fantastic artist. I will treasure my works of art forever.
