Last month I participated in #inktober which was on Instagram.
I have posted some of my artwork on this blog from time to time,
and I mentioned that art has been cathartic in helping me get over
the death of my mother.
A lot of this month was a little bit of both...
There was a list of prompts, so every day you tried to draw something
based on the daily word...
I'm sharing a few of the 31 drawings
which are my favorites...
This was my drawing for treasure:
What's cooler than finding a pearl in an oyster...?
I think of turtles as wise... ancient.
This is immediately what came to mind when I read the prompt.
Frail - like a tiny almost weightless hummingbird...
Sling... I had a little fun with this one...
it's going to be a fun ride...!
Finally, given that it was close to Dia de los Muertos,
I had to honor my mother by making a virtual ofrenda instead of
a true altar in my home...
Her favorite foods are there: pan dulce, pears, a glass of wine...
We honor the dead and their memory, and I truly
hope she is enjoying that glass of wine across that marigold-covered bridge...

You really are talented as an artist! I am glad you explained what you drew. The first one was a bit confusing until I saw that it was a pearl in an oyster and then it made perfect sense. Very well done!! I do enjoy the art you post on Facebook from time to time.
betty
Those are very good! I have never been any good at sketching, drawing, or painting, but one of my sisters is a very good artist.
