Finer points of town life

#sketchaday theme is CHESS. I know nothing about chess but loved the Queen’s Gambit. I will likely keep trying to do this drawing as it doesn’t fully look like her yet. https://www.instagram.com/p/CkkCefZuHEK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is what you wake up to when you live with a 5-lb Maltese-Yorkie 2-yr-old bandit named Bentley: multiple robberies. He particularly specializes in heists involving my gloves and mitts. #rascalroommate #weepirate #bandit #puppylove (at Burlington, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_hzasLHIsy/?igshid=1b55kx00gj2et

I don't even know what day it is anymore and don't care. I just want to keep drawing and keep #drawingeveryday #drawingnature Still working on a window box of petunias. (at Burlington, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9DmKQTBMJr/?igshid=arwuno0yvg0o

It is with overwhelming sadness and grief that I share with you the passing of my sweet little bubba: Finnigan last night. Even as I write this, I am still in disbelief. At 7:30 last night on our walk, he got hit by a car and never woke up. On March 25th, he would have been 9 years old. It's a blessing that he died instantly and that his life was so happy and full of joy right up until that moment. It was so sudden. What I wouldn't do for one day with him. 🐶❤ (at Burlington, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9Ar9gwn_XS/?igshid=11ohdh4mgputn

Day 21 + 22: probably a funny looking window box of petunias, but there is a plan here. #drawingeveryday #drawingnature (at Burlington, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B85aPUPHJgC/?igshid=fhbqujvfuog4

Day 20 + 21: Bees hovering over clover. Completed on the @gotransit from #burlingtonontario to #toronto Since I'm not the greatest bee drawer, it will be interesting to figure out how many bees there are in this picture! Post your guess in the comments. 😎 #drawingeveryday #drawingnature https://www.instagram.com/p/B81J_TuFjqB/?igshid=443xjdwyqb1p

Day 19: Here's my humble jumble of daisies. I couldn't resist how each Samsung filter gave the same drawing a different look. In order of pics from 1 to 10, which of these do you like best? #drawingeveryday #drawingnature (at Burlington, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8xllYwnv8Q/?igshid=1v6qjdsuvqvu0

Day 18: the pre-colour "row" of daisies. #clusterofdaisies Colour comes tomorrow! #drawingeveryday #drawingnature (at Burlington, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8vCAhVHjB3/?igshid=xajjnv4gp400

Day 17: #drawingeveryday #drawingnature There's something beautiful about this wee thing. I decided to capture her in a raw, single moment. She is the beginning of a row of daisies. I've given her 4 filters from my Galaxy phone to show her off in different lights. (at Burlington, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8sM4GXn9YB/?igshid=1ck0x3g5y3coy

Art table after a drawing. Might be hard to see them all here, but I have 8 different green markers on the table. Use 4 greens for this last drawing. #noteasybeinggreen (at Burlington, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8pz5Hwnl7F/?igshid=110euum4yuwys

Still Day 16. I didn't expect to want to continue this one. Thought it would take me a couple of days. Drawing with and without a lightened filter. #drawingeveryday #drawingnature (at Burlington, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8pzX0QH6uT/?igshid=1bm54vv0cvlxb

Day 16: An arrangement of succulents. It's kinda tricky drawing all these pokey parts. Opening sketch here with original image as my Model. #drawingeveryday #drawingnature (at Burlington, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8ppmhVn8-U/?igshid=iqu5livcsu44

Day:15: Three potted herbs. #drawingeveryday (at Burlington, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8m9CvGn8DD/?igshid=9gkw130srwzw

Day 14: Happy Heart Day. Same lavender drawing, different filters. (at Burlington, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8ke5X1HxdH/?igshid=hn7dbk9qr0dw

Days: 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 + 13: I think I'm feeling fine about not drawing another French garden at the moment. This one only took me 7 days. 😖 It was fun for the first 4; after that, we all got bored seeing the garden. Lol So that means I'm only posting when the drawing is done or if there is an interesting development. 😁 #drawingeveryday #feelnakedwithoutit (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8g5GxLn7ne/?igshid=1owij7uacg5ce
