#pencil #doodle shoe studies from #Ponytail by #LeeHolley — not sure I can explain why, but I really dig the way Holley drew shoes in his strip then. [Among cartoonists, there are a lot of #JackDavis shoe fans, but for me Lee Holley is my Shoe Guy®!] #cartooning #doodles #MastoArt
My 51st #acrylic #painting is a nocturne of the Christmas fair at #HebdenBridge , which we visited in 2018. I got into how the night suggests rather than displays things, and really got into the depths of the lights on the tree. There's no razzle dazzle in this work, but I feel like maybe there's some honesty about a night I remember fondly. #art #AcrylicPainting #MastoArt
#pencil #doodles from the book "Ninth Street Women" by #MaryGabriel #art #drawing #sketching #MastoArt - I like the vibe in the first one especially

This owl is my tenth #gouache #painting . I was attracted to the stripey mottlings on it.

A lot of this was painted with an angle brush that I only recently got and hadn't used yet. I quite enjoyed how it handled, and will probably use angle brushes a lot more often in future. #art #MastoArt

The tiles on our bathroom floor have a design of random swirls and smears and splotches. Every once in a while, I will suddenly see a face in one of them. I decided to #doodle one such face. #cartooning #drawing #charcoal #art #MastoArt
