I actually drew this one before the VooDoo Doll. I was going to save it for the end because I had an idea to use it for something else. I might still use it for the idea I have but thought I would share the drawing anyway.
WIP Hummingbirds #3
Ok All, I did paint on the hummingbirds tonight. I decided to go over the background again because the paint was still a bit transparent, and I wanted the colors deeper. I guess I like to paint in thin layers. I also changed up the wings a bit. I think they will look better when I get to painting them.
Sorry about the quality of the photo. I just took the picture with my iPhone and also didn't want to move them to better lighting. I am working with oil paint so they stay wet a lot longer.

13 Drawings of Halloween #1
I decided to give myself a Halloween Drawing Challenge. An artist I follow on Instagram is doing 31 Monsters in October you can follow him here. When I saw this challenge I knew I needed to do some kind of challenge for myself. My favorite holiday is Halloween so what better time to do a challenge. We are already a week into October and I didn't think I had the time to do a daily challenge. I have been looking forward to ABC Family's 13 Nights of Halloween, and all the wonderfully cheesy Halloween movies. It clicked that I should do 13 Drawings of Halloween. Well they will be more sketches and if I decide after the challenge that I like any of them enough I will turn them into paintings.
Here is my first Halloween Drawing. I bought this cool pin with a skull and feathers while I was in Salem, MA. That pin is what inspired me to draw this drawing. I really want to make a Voodoo Doll now.
If anybody decides to join me in this challenge let me know!!! I love seeing what everybody comes up with.

September Adventures
Saying Goodbye to September!
I have decided to turn my Weekly Adventures to Monthly Adventures. I was having a hard time coming up with something to write about weekly, and realized my life isn't that exiting on a weekly bases. I thought it would be better to just share glimpses of the month, unless something really exciting happens, then I will do a post just on that.
The most exciting thing that happened in September was my Roadtrip with my Sister to New York and Salem, Massachusetts. I wrote separate posts about my trip in 5 parts. I wrote about our time in New York, Night 1 in Salem, Day 1 in Salem, Day 2 in Salem, and Heading Home. We had such a great time.
The rest of the month has been fairly quiet. I just thought I would share some photos I took throughout the month. If you follow me on Instagram most of these photos you have probably seen before. These are just some of the more interesting things from the month.
I feel like I am always taking photos of the Florida Sun. I decided to take this picture of some rain clouds on my way to work one morning.
The middle of the month was one of my cousin's kids birthday. He made these minions to go on top of his cake. He just turned 7, and some of his creativity just amazes me. My nickname for him is Wild Man. I will have to take pictures of some of his drawing to show everybody.
I still go visit my Mom in the nursing facility she is in every other weekend. I had stopped to get something at Walgreens on my way to see her and decided to pick up this cute little bat for her. I get my love of Halloween from her. I remember growing up, setting up our blankets on the floor, Mom would turn out all the lights and we would watch scary movies all night. Some of my favorite moments growing up.
I captured this rainbow on my way home from visiting with her.
September's Harvest Full Moon!
Doodles from work. Sometimes I am waiting on the computer and I doodle a bit. I will try to remember to share these more often. I usually just throw them away.
Lonely Rain Cloud under the Sun one day on my way home from work. Something I forgot to mention I drive just under an hour to and from work everyday. I also go over a couple of bridges so I do get to see some amazing scenery.
In other exciting news, I do not watch a whole lot of television but one of my all time favorite shows is back on, Sons of Anarchy. I just found out they are going to be ending the show after next season.
A couple of other shows I am looking forward to that start next month are of course The Walking Dead, American Horror Story: The Coven, and Witches of East End. I also watch Face Off when I can catch it, I love seeing all the creativity the people have on that show.
I am also looking forward to all the Halloween decorations at the stores. Halloween is by far my favorite holiday.
I think I am going to end it here until next month...

WIP Hummingbirds #2
I got the backgrounds done on both of the hummingbirds. I think I would like to go over the green again next week, just to give it more depth.
