Hey All!

Happy Halloween!

.

I drew that last night while watching October movies.

I wanted to show you the Inktober Bloomtober flowers that I finished. Also several of the things I was able to accomplish now that I am trying to do several things daily. This is a monthly wrap up post with a couple of new images and a quick list of various links to books and classes that I completed or started this month.

Inktober

This morning I finished the Flame Lily and the Hellebore flowers.

October Dailies Experiment

At the beginning of September I decided to try a little experiment. I created a list of things I wanted to accomplish daily to help me succeed at completing my monthly goals. Then I made a little drawing so that I could track the ‘streak’ of doing dailies…

.

I may have added a few too many things this month… I added Sketchbook Bootcamp, and a Data Project that I need to work on… some days I had difficulty doing all the dailies. Overall, though, I think I did pretty good!

I was able to:

• read 2 books
• read 5 short stories
• attend 4 live online art workshops
• finish an online class that I had started some time back
• start and complete another online class
• draw and/or paint nearly daily
• read nearly daily
• blog nearly daily

Learn daily was more difficult because some days I just ran out of time.
