Inktober wrapped up as we slid into a tumultuous election- and a time change! My body and my buddies, Carter and Django, are still confused. Early mornings are now earlier- and while I enjoy the quiet of the still dark house it catches up to me quickly in the day.
I enjoyed the thrill of creating everyday and discovering what ideas lurked beneath the surface. But the effort of keeping up with just a fraction of those ideas exhausted me! So, I have taken a few days off of social media and given myself a little extra time to prepare this final Inktober installment.
I am already creating holiday inspired art, even as I cling to the dusky allure of Autumn’s motifs. I hope you enjoy looking through the final images of October. I know which images I am most proud of, but I would really love to hear which ones you like.
“Bee” and “Mum” Oct. 24 
“Sunshine” Oct. 25 
“Moth” Oct. 26 This is actually the first piece of art I created for this Inktober.
