Gambit was so worried about his human brother getting all wet! He jumped up to give him reassuring kitty kisses on the nose. His human brother was delighted!

There is something so poignant about the positive outlook Anne Frank managed to cling to despite everything she ensured. What a tremendous example to us all to remember as we strive with our own challenges. 💕 #inspiteofeverything #believe #peoplearereallygoodatheart #goodatheart #internationalholocaustremembranceday #ww2 #annefrank #annefrankequotes #staypositive #lookforthegood #inrememberence #hope #holocaust #chalk #chalkinspiration #chalkmessages #challboard #chalklettering #blackboard #coloredchalk #crayoladrawingchalk #inspiration #seethegood #bethegood

My first piece for #inktober! I drew this last night only using #sharpies. It turned out better than I thought it would! I'm not certain if this qualifies for #drawlloween or not, but I guess with a little imagination, that distant figure could be a ghost. 😉👻 #markers #markersketch #sketchbook #freehand #instaart #artistmom

Yay! I finished it today! Too bad it's going to rain before Halloween. But that's okay. At least it will be there for a few days. (With all of the black I used, it might still be faintly visible next spring! )🎃💀👽🌛💜 #halloweendecor #happyhalloween #jackskellington #jackandsally #nightmarebeforechristmas #jackthepumpkinking #nightmarefanart #sidewalkchalk #chalkart #chalk #streetpainting #streetart #chalkinspiration #artistmom #mydriveway #dfwartists

I worked on this a bit but got frustrated with the limitation of just the ink. I decided to use watercolor... (stay tuned!) #inktober #day6 #finepointsharpie #sharpie #penandpaper #lineart #jesuschrist #savior #gregolsen #preciousinhissight #feebleremake

...So then I broke out my watercolors. It's been a very long time! I think i like it better now though. Not perfect, but better. 😊 #gregolsen #preciousinhissight #inktober #day6 #artistchallenge #ink #watercolor #jesuschrist #savior #ldsart #artandfaith #christian

Oh, how I need a white gel pen to make the letters pop. (Yes, I finally ordered some! ) The silver just didn't do it enough.

It started to sprinkle as soon as I was finished with this. ☺ Somehow, I don't think it will last long.
