Try to create on piece of art every day.
As November is winding down I am trying to keep up with Art Every Day Month, I haven’t sketched for a few days (ok its been a week) so I am posting some previous sketches.
During a brisk walk in the neighborhood a little leaf less tree caught my eye, it was bare except for a handful of seed pods hanging neatly in a row.
This drawing idea came from a very small doodle I made while writing my morning pages.

Art Every Day Month (AEDM)
Day 3
I was flipping through a sketch book, and came across a drawing my daughter did, which appealed to me. So I decided to interpret what she sketched into a new drawing, I used color pencils and marker on paper.
This is my daughter’s drawing that I based my sketch. In her words, its “just a scribble”
Day 4
A chilly, grey day. Quick marker sketch in pastel & pencil on paper.

This will be my first time participating in the Art Every Day Month (AEDM), for the entire month of November. My goal is to create something every day, to make time for art big or small. AEDM info page
My inspiration came from a morning hike along a path where my eye was drawn to a grouping of bright green leaves in a neat pattern amongst dirt debris and brown leaves.

Day 2
My little urban garden oasis, growing some crazy shaped vegetables. The small space produced, cucumbers, green beans, strawberries, melons, peppers, tomatoes, lettuce, carrots, and herbs. Hope to extend my garden through the fall.
A lazy summer day, a box of art supplies an idea and a few fun hours spent being creative. A homemade wreath made from coffee filters, is a simple idea using a few supplies. From a distance you won’t notice this was made from coffee filters. My daughter had so much fun making this project.
All the supplies we used.
I decorated the filters with markers and my 7 year old used pencil crayon which created a softer look. After coloring the filters we layered two filters together using a dab of glue in the center of one filter and layered the other filter on top with a little scrunching it looked more like a flower.
I used an old square cork board, and thumb tacks to hold each flower in place. We began to place our finished flower filters (not being too neat) covering entire cork board, next we attached string to the back of cork board to be hung on the door.
The end result
The finishing touch – my daughter wrote the word summer in the center of the wreath. Now she has ideas for all the seasons and holidays, its never ending!
– Have fun creating your own!
A different creative outlet for me, having accomplished various artistic jobs throughout the years, I never thought window painting would be one of them. Recently I had the opportunity to paint a party theme on a pair of windows at the Pizza Villa in New Jersey. I conducted a little research before I started, and was surprised to find out that acrylic paints work best. I thought painting on a window was going to be a challenge, but I took it slow and it worked out great. Going with what the owner wanted and sharing some of my own ideas this is what I painted.
It was fun to paint a window, I would definitely do it again.
Great place and good food: Pizza Villa is located at 901 White Horse Pike, Haddon Twp, NJ 856-854-4400
As summer was winding down I spent a wonderful time in Ocean City, MD with family. I decided to take along my travel watercolor box that I was given at Xmas. The pretty little purple box which sat on my art desk just begged to be opened, so I figured the beach would be a perfect place to try it out. I enjoyed using the paints, it was easy to transport. I was able to accomplish some quick little sketches during my early morning walks, the beach is so inspiring. I enjoyed my time alone watching the beauty of the sunrise on the beach. I would have created more paintings but I was too busy being a beach bum!
Morning sunrise over the beach.
View of Assawomen Bay.. (real name) The vivid yellows n green in the marshy area caught my eye.
View overlooking the balcony
Birds waiting for food – a mix of watercolor and sand!
My wonderful little purple box. I loved using this.
