My husband has a chronic illness and frequently spends weeks in the hospital. I have been doodling each day while sitting with him and many of them reflect my thoughts at the time. Often appearing are desperation, hope, frustration, sarcasm, fear.
Animals on the move - this is a doodle painted in acrylics. I start by throwing colours down, then look for something to make into an element. It all takes about as long as a drawn doodle does and there is no prior plan and I do not do any drawing at all!
I have been lucky enough to have the opportunity to paint a design on a rather large gorilla! I am so excited to do this. It's taking an age but getting there slowly. When he's all done he will be going on show at Paignton Zoo.
Sammy"s chair after MPF Conservation (Mitchell Powell) conserved all parts and reupholstered the showcover. All ink in a Pentalic sketchbook. https://dkatiepowellart.me/2016/12/06/karlas-chair-after-treatment/
We have been living in a hotel since 9/2/2016 and all my art stuff is in storage. I got some pencils and this sketch book from the dollar store. I thought my art days were over. Maybe they are. Enjoy.
Sometimes I wander around a city with a sketchbook and see where it takes me. This day it ended up being a courtroom. #sketchbook #sketch #police #courtroomsketch #courtroom #sanbernardino #sanbernardinocounty #sanbernardinocountycourthouse #inlandempire
