….day 31
Picked up my pencil crayons for this drawing. Reminded me of my childhood when switching from crayons to coloured pencils seemed like a step closer to adulthood.
Drawing doves and poppies has always symbolized the hope for peace. I feel like we need it more than ever.

Amy Maricle turned me onto Inchies several years ago. She has several online classes that you can purchase and she frequently offers free workshops. She’s also written a book called Draw Yourself Calm https://www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/707819/draw-yourself-calm-by-amy-maricle/9780593541012
The Inchies on my new art page were created today (day 26) and are layered over art papers that I created a while ago.

All the buildings and trees in this piece were made with one continuous line. Then the colour and details were added.
What’s your favorite candy?
I don’t know if ‘dislike’ is strong enough to describe how much I don’t like licorice. My mother loved black licorice and I have a friend who adores the strongest and saltiest licorice she can find. When I travelled to Amsterdam she wanted me to bring back licorice for her.
Strangely though I really like licorice Allsorts. How is that possible? Between all the layers of colourful sweetness lies black licorice.
Candy is never at the top of my list of favourite foods. I can take it or leave it but if you put Licorice Allsorts in front of me I will always take it.
