(Owl with Toad Stool) 
I had to move snack food off the top of my scanner to get this one posted. A scan bed can make a nice little table in a pinch.

This Owl is from one of the sketch books laying around my cramped studio. Sometimes I find some pieces that haven't been painted hiding in these old pads.

  4x6" Rabbit card : This is the time of year for rabbits. I lived in Ohio at one time. There is a town called Richfield that I used to visit in the fall. Every year, A friend and I would go to the Turkey-Shoot events held in that general area. No --- ! We did not shoot turkeys off fence posts 😀😀😀 If you are not from a place that has these events then, click here , and ( Richfield Ohio Amvets ) to read up on the fun you can have competing with others to win a Thanksgiving ham or Turkey among other things.

  This and other ink drawings are now in the Gallery . The Simply Black series is something I've been working on for more than a year. It was not without second thoughts if I should upload these or not. Why? It seems most people like colorful art. That goes for detail too. These ink sketches have neither ! But, who is going to make simple stuff like this for those who want 'less' busy art for their walls? Most of these drawings are 5x7 inches and look good in black frames. I hung a few in my studio to see if I could stand to look at them for more than a few days. Turns out, I do like this art style. There are big plans for the future with the series. I want to make some with background effects, and even some with sorted color schemes. After all, there should be versions for people that think these things are too simple for their taste. Also, maybe there could be some that are larger sizes, as in 8x10 or 9x12. If you, the reader, like any of these ideas, please let me know i...
