From Monday, July 21 "Drawing is Free" session. Raided the recycling bin this week for boxes to draw on. 2 to 5 minute poses. Thanks sitters and Chloë! #drawingisfree @drawingisfree_org

From Monday, July 14 "Drawing is Free" session. Tried gessoed, cut up paper bags and the panel from a box today. Not sure how I liked working on it--wasn't able to get much color in. 2 to 5 minute poses. Thanks sitters and Chloë! #drawingisfree @drawingisfree_org

New piece inspired by my typical breakfast. I love everything bagels and make my own "everything mix" to sprinkle on the cream cheese. So it's really an everything-topped everything bagel! Acrylic & charcoal on plaster coated felt, 22"x16" #bmoreart #baltimoreartist #bagelpainting #breakfastpainting

From Monday, July 7 "Drawing is Free" session. More soggy weather and soggy paper, 2 to 5 minute poses. Thank you wonderful sitters and Chloë! #drawingisfree @drawingisfree_org

From Monday "Drawing is Free" session. Wash on the paper to match the humid weather; charcoal & chalk-pastel colored pencil; 2-5 minute poses. I like how removing the border masking tape made the newsprint edges translucent and fragile. Thanks sitters & Chloë! #drawingisfree @drawingisfree_org

For some reason I'm stuck on doing variations on this composition. This is the third one and I've already started another! The piece is called "Doritos: Litter Bugs Me 3". It's acrylic and charcoal on plaster coated felt, 23.5 inches x 19.5 inches. #bmoreart #bmoreartist #baltimoreartist

Drawings from last Monday's "Drawing is Free" session. Thanks so much to the sitters and Chloë for helping me grow and learn! Crayon, pencil, ballpoint pen, charcoal pencil, and highlighter pen on metallic gold paper. #drawingisfree @drawingisfree_org

Drawings from today's "Drawing is Free" session. Crayon, pencil, ballpoint pen, charcoal pencil, and highlighter pen on a weird pearlescent paper. Thanks sitters, great poses! #drawingisfree @drawingisfree_org

100 Day Project, Day 100: Bye for now. This is the phone from my husband’s college dorm room. Even then it was pretty ancient, but it worked! Thanks to everyone who joined me on this 100 day journey. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 99: Flavor Bombs. Really, that’s what these cherry tomatoes are called. And they are soooo good. The tomatoes in our garden are starting to bud. I hope they’re as delicious! #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 98: Smidgets. I use these tiny containers called Smidgets to hold mixed paint. I’ve had paint stay usable for years! #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 97: Old stuff. My mother-in-law always gave me a cute little Clinique cosmetic bag on my birthday. This is one of them. I build up quite a collection before she passed away. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 96: Old stuff. Back in the mists of time, before computer graphics, designers used tape, wax, and ink. We used roles of fine tape to make lines. I’m not sure how old this pack is. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 95: Old stuff. According to family legend, during WW2 my grandmother hoarded Ivory soap. When I was a kid, there was a wooden box filled with bars of soap in our basement. This is one of the few remaining bars! #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands

100 Day Project, Day 94: Purple gorilla. This little plastic, purple, wind-up gorilla lives on our kitchen windowsill. I don’t know why. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 93: Bauble part 2. This little bauble is my sister’s from when she was a teen. She lent it to me a few years ago to include in a still life drawing. Now I’ve drawn it and can return it! #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

Drawings from today's "Drawing is Free" session. Mainly used charcoal painted over with acrylic medium. Got somewhat better likenesses today. Thanks and apologies to the wonderful sitters! #drawingisfree @drawingisfree_org

100 Day Project, Day 91: Oriental dish. This little dish has been around since I was a kid. I always thought it was for paint or ink, but I think it’s for sauce. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 90: Birthday candles. We have a weird tradition of recycling number-shaped candles on family birthday cakes. The candles get reused until they’ve melted through. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 89: Another cat mug. Yup, I’m a Gemini, and a cat lover! Today is chilly so I may need an extra cup of tea. Also I discovered that you can reuse making tape one time too often. Oh well. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 88: Gumby and Pokey. I remember watching Gumby and Pokey on Sunday morning, and getting a Gumby as a birthday gift. He/she/it’s long lost in the past, but somewhere along the line we got this Pokey. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #BaltimoreArt

100 Day Project, Day 87: Cat mug. This is one of my favorite tea mugs with a silly picture of a cat! #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 86: From the garden. While digging in the garden, we found this plastic green frog and a rusty bolt. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 85: From the garden. We had a big rain storm the other day and these flowers from the tulip poplar trees were all over the yard. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 84: Another fridge magnet. This one is from the 2007 Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 83: Fridge magnets. “H” is for the High Line, a souvenir from one of our trips to NYC. And it’s near the Whitney Museum, another great place to visit. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 82: Butterfly. This butterfly was part of a wonderful gift box I received where paper butterflies fluttered out when the box opened! #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 81: Fridge magnets. This one is not only a souvenir fridge magnet from the exciting destination spot, “South of the Border,” but it’s also a handy bottle opener! #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 80: Squiggly sculpture. This is a copper wire and bead sculpture. I think my mom gave it to me. Sometimes I hang earrings on it. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 78: Chili today, chili tomorrow! Four bean chili is one of my menu mainstays. I always add crushed red pepper for extra zing! #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 77: My first hands. I made the top and bottom hands over 30 years ago. They are amazing and helped me to celebrate a wonderful Mother’s Day. Today was another quickie, but the opportunity to spend time with family is always a priority. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart

100 Day Project, Day 76: Take two. Yesterday's image again. I gave blood Thursday. They gave me a rose, a cookie, & a bottle of water. I ate the cookie & when I got home, realized I didn’t have a good vase for the rose. So I put it in the water bottle. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart

100 Day Project, Day 76: Best I could do in 20 minutes. May try this one again tomorrow! #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 75: Highlights! I’d be lost without my highlighters to add that pop of color when organizing work lists and schedules. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 74: Crocheted flowers. My daughter crocheted these flowers for me. I keep them in a empty honey jar in my office. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 73: Domestic patterns. My friend brought me this fun tea towel with red and green peppers from New Mexico. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 72: Domestic patterns. This green and pink duvet belonged to my Auntie Dot in Scotland. I remember seeing it there when I visited. Now I have it and we call it “Auntie Dot”. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 71: Domestic patterns. This is a beautiful oriental carpet that my sister lent me--about 20 years ago! #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 70: Things from the old sewing box. This is Bacharach Germany Coat of Arms Jacket Patch Badge. Probably a travel souvenir from 1960’s. The measuring tape is metric from Germany and possibly from the 1940s. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart

100 Day Project, Day 69: Things from the old sewing box. These threads are on wooden spools. They and the thimble are probably about 50 years old! #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 68: Things from the old sewing box. Old snaps, hooks, and weird safety pins. It looks like the safety pins are specifically shaped to hold buttons in place. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 67: Things from the old sewing box. My mother-in-law was a dressmaker. This is a pin cushion she cross-stitched about 80 years ago with her nick name, Helmi. The back is a light blue fabric with yellow flowers. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 66: Many years ago my mother-in-law gave me this little cat. It sits on the kitchen windowsill in the sun. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 65: Everyday I take vitamins. Not sure if they work, but doesn’t seem to hurt! #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 64: Yesterday we went out for lunch. I wanted shrimp sushi, and asked if it was cooked. The waitress said no, none of the sushi was cooked. Sadly I ordered a salad. My daughter got shrimp sushi. It was cooked. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands

100 Day Project, Day 63: Yesterday I was babysitting. Mega Block towers were built and destroyed. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand

100 Day Project, Day 62: Today I found... a rusty hook on my morning walk. It probably fell off one of the lawn care trucks that seem to be a constant presence in our neighborhood from spring to fall. #the100dayproject2025 #the100dayprojectart #the100dayprojecthands #the100dayprojecthand
