Today’s #yycdoodlebugs prompt was, PINK. Here in Calgary, the crabapple trees have erupted with pink blossoms. So pretty. I went to the park near Anderson Station and filmed myself painting en plein air. I’ll be posting the video onto YouTube tonight. #WeAreCBE #yycbeArts
Today’s #yycdoodlebugs prompt was, PICNIC. In 2014, our beautiful girl, Daisy, developed a large, inoperable tumour. It came so quickly and her health deteriorated within a week. We were able to have one last perfect day in Banff with a picnic in the park. #WeAreCBE #yycbeArts
Today’s #yycdoodlebugs prompt was, BUZZ. My mom’s lavender usually has tons of bees around it during the summer. I will miss them this year. #bees #honeybee #bumblebee #lavender #mayneisland #mayne #summer #buzz #fuzzy #yycart #yycbearts #yycartist #WeAreCBE #yycbeArts

Today's #yycdoodlebugs prompt was, NATURE. I got on my bike and found a quiet and safe place to paint en plein air and made a littel demo video for my art students. #pleinair #wetlands #yyc #yycarts #yycartist #dailysketch #pentalic #stonegroundpaintco

Today’s #yycdoodlebugs prompt was, NIGHTSWIMMING. NIGHSWIMMING is the title of one of my all time favourite songs. It is by the band, REM. It is a simple yet beautiful song in which Michael Stipe and Mike Mills’ lyrics make me yearn for my youth.
Today’s #yycdoodlebugs prompt is, FOLD. I just did a super quick sketch of the folds in my jean jacket. #jeanjacket #levis #jeangenie #denim #fold #quicksketch #pentelbrushpen #stillmanandbirn

Today’s #yycdoodlebugs prompt was, FRIENDS. I don’t have a lot of friends and I don’t see any of them very often (even prior to #socialdistancing) But, the friends I do have are pretty damn cool and I miss them a lot. This is a picture of my friend Zowie and I. socialdistanceart
Today’s #yycdoodlebugs prompt was, THROWBACK THURSDAY. One time in the early 90’s, my friends Justi, Jay, and, I made brownies. Justin snapped a candid shot of Jay and I sitting on the front step and eating the sides of the brownie bowl. #victoria #victoriabc #yyj #uvic #90s
Today, we were going to haveLilo, a Swainson’s hawk from the Calgary Wildlife Rehabilitation Society, come in to pose for my Art 10’s to draw. Last semester, CWRS brought in a great horned owl named Ophelia. My response to today’s yycdoodlebugs prompt, HAWK.
It’s been hard to explain to Edith Rose why we weren’t able to go on any long hikes this spring break. I found that cookies helped soften the blow. Here is my response to today’s prompt, HIKE. #yycdoodlebugs #yycarts #yycartist #yycartists #dailydrawing #dailysketch #artjournal
Stuff I'm currently working on (besides the comic don't @ me doodlebug) #artshare
I have started an art community on Instagram, #yycdoodlebugs because I miss teaching Art. I thought it would be a fun way to stay connected with fellow art nerds. My first prompt was Hero. I did this little sketch of Deena. My friend suggested I put it on Twitter #CMOH_Alberta
