#Long Thanks go to Sloane from Sktchy for the photo.  This one is a bit of this and that; I started with one pen and wasn't happy then I tried another and it was dry and so was the next one so I had to go back to the Elegant Writer to finish up. #inktober2017

We are in the big city babysitting our grand-daughter so we made use of the day to head downtown to the passport office to renew our passports.

Here is a drawing I did in a mini book I had in my purse while we waited our turn.

On our way down to the passport office we saw this restaurant when the streetcar was stopped and my hubby was interested in the "Flight of Vodka".  We each bought a different vodka to sample.  We both preferred a relatively cheaper potato vodka from Poland. It had a sweeter taste with a slight vanilla flavour.  Very nice.

So all in all, we had a good day!  Got our grand-daughter off to school with her mother and then had some time to ourselves to enjoy what Toronto has to offer.

This is Sktchy inspired drawing.  My mother had one of those gas masks but hers was from WWII and she gave it to a local museum.  Water soluble Staedtler pen and it kind of got away from me! Red gel pen.

Swift- made me think of Katniss in the Hunger Games!!

Platinum Carbon pen zed ink and painted with Noodlers Dark Matter in my new Strathmore Vision sketchbook . 

I'm not really loving the blooms here but that is okay....at least I did a drawing!

The township participates in Culture Day

I wanted to check out the art that was on display here as part of the township participation in "Culture Day".  I took the road less travelled and stopped in to see the artist show and sale at the Carley Hall.  I did this sketch before heading into town to see in other exhibits.  

Carley Hall was originally a one room school built in 1902.  Unfortunately the event was not promoted well and only 12 people had been through to see the artists work on display.

I was very happy to have had an opportunity to get a drawing down even though I didn't paint it on site.

Cartoon Drawings are Fun

Here is a little cartoon I drew this morning 

Now that there has been a cooling off in our unseasonably hot stretch the "soon" will be "sooner". 

I think complaining about the weather should be considered a national sport here in Canada

Made an Accordion folded book for my cartoons

Wow! I had to catch up since I was so far behind already! Yippee I did it! 

I had an excellent time doing this even though I didn't do "exactly" as required.  I made a mini comic and then bound it with a folded accordion binding.  

I used kiddo oil pastels, ink and watercolour on some cheap watercolour paper.  I had a piece of blue card stock left over from another project for the binding.
