SoHo (and The Village) Love

A mixture of love-themed graffiti/art as seen on my recent visit to New York City. To the best of my recollection, these were all taken in either SoHo or The Village. Is this NYC being “destroyed” by graffiti or being encouraged to come back to life in a better way after difficult times? (I preferContinue reading “SoHo (and The Village) Love”

A Flower A Day Challenge: 30 Day Milestone

I’ve been inspired by a Youtuber named struthless* to draw one subject, in my case a flower, each day for a year. Am putting these into my Passion Planner Daily*, hence the words and dot grid background. Just over a month in so far and I thought it’d be fun to post the first 30Continue reading “A Flower A Day Challenge: 30 Day Milestone”

I’m making Happy Drawings – day 28

Today is the final day for my Happy Drawings, at least for now. My intention was to make them until the end of our “lockdown” and my area is scheduled to reopen (at least partially) tomorrow. Also, it seems fitting to end it on my birthday, which happens to be today. I am excited toContinue reading “I’m making Happy Drawings – day 28”

I’m making Happy Drawings – day 27

Cupcake Love. This one was particularly fun to draw! I’m making and uploading one happy drawing a day, at least until the end of the the stay-at-home order. Would anyone care to join me? Thanks for Stopping by! Monica

I’m making Happy Drawings – day 26

“Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily merrily, life is but a dream.” (old nursery rhyme/children’s song. I tried to figure out who to credit with no luck.) Have you ever thought about those words as an adult? I’m making and uploading one happy drawing a day, at least untilContinue reading “I’m making Happy Drawings – day 26”

I’m making Happy Drawings – day 25

Fancy ADK Little Houses. Inspired by the little cabins-for-rent sometimes seen in this area (and other places, too). I’m making and uploading one happy drawing a day, at least until the end of the the stay-at-home order. Would anyone care to join me? Thanks for Stopping by! Monica

I’m making Happy Drawings – day 24

Floral-style shapes. I’m making and uploading one happy drawing a day, at least until the end of the the stay-at-home order. Would anyone care to join me? Thanks for Stopping by! Monica

I’m making Happy Drawings – day 23

Every-which-way tulips (and a bird). Those light green background shapes took a while! (I thought this was going to be a simple looking one, but I think it turned out kind of fun.) I’m making and uploading one happy drawing a day, at least until the end of the the stay-at-home order. Would anyone careContinue reading “I’m making Happy Drawings – day 23”
