24 October Books

#inktober2016 day 24

"We have a house filled with books," said Auntie Elsinore, "And yet the most riveting book is whichever one I am currently reading".

23 October Hellena's Coffee Break

#inktober2016 #inktober day 23

With the laundry piled high, the sink full of dirty dishes, and a to-doing list a mile long, Hellena felt the need for a little break.

Sure, she slipped the house into an inter-dimensional stasis, "but," thought she, "all is fair in housework and ME time". #DonnaDavisArt

22 October Rainy Lazy day in the studio

It was a lovely rainy morning in the studio. My hot coffee and window day dreaming won out. Therefore I only managed a scribble of Puss on her favourite shelf. Day 21 #inktober 2016 I wasn't feeling it today, so I did a partial scribble of Puss on her shelf.. #DonnaDavisArt #inktober2016

21 October Hellena Strikes Again

#inktober2016

Hellena realized, a bit too late, that if one's relatives have made the effort to visit from the 19th century, TV dinners were probably not the best choice.

19 October Agnes Day Darkens

#inktober2016

No shoes and wet through at least the day can't get any worse, thought Agnes. The day, however, begged to differ.

18 October Tea and Toadstools

Agnes thought Tea under the Toadstools a lovely way to while away an afternoon. 
"Well," thought she, "The best laid plans of Teacups and afternoons often go awry" #inktober #inktober2016 #DonnaDavisArt #ToadHallArt  

17 October Auntie Elsinore's Holiday

Auntie Elsinore loved having tea with friends. Sometimes, however, she needed a holiday from her old bones.

"What better way," thought she, "Then to be a gnarled tree in one's own garden."

Her friends couldn't agree more.

"However," thought Puss, "I shan't be able to reach the cream up here."#DonnaDavisArt #ToadHallArt #inktober #inktober2016

Imogen strikes again

Posting my daily #inktober2016 pieces here:

Mother always called Imgen her "little Dickens", but Imogen had her own version of that terminology. #DonnaDavisArt #ToadHallArt #inktober #inktober2016

Today's Drawing: a mishap with a spellbook

"I said MICROwave," Hellena shouted over the roar of the tidal wave currently crashing into her living room and freshly waxed floors.#DonnaDavisArt #ToadHallArt #inktober #inktober2016
