Inktober Day 19 FLIGHT

Went to see the phenomenal Chris Robinson sing tonight (from Black Crowes and now Chris Robinson Brotherhood), and I'm so committed to getting these days out, that I took my sketchbook into the concert and drew this before the show started and during an intermission!  Super drawing geek!  But I did rock out otherwise!

inktober Day 11 TRANSPORT

I think films, books, music, all can take you to another place, time, emotion, no?  Without even leaving your immediate surroundings, these art forms can take you to heights and depths of the human existence.  With the "inktober" word, transport, I could have been very literal and drawn a car, truck, train, or plane.  I'd rather take flight figuratively to worlds imagined and feelings often unfurled in daily life.

Thanksgiving Starlings

As we drove 1 1/2 hours to our family's Thanksgiving dinner, nature gave us the most beautiful sight: the rolling, beautifully complex flight of starlings against a gray sky.

I am thankful to you, dear starlings, for the loveliness you bring to stark fall skies.
