Thank You For Being My Friends.. Love YOU

 

Fun with brushes

Procreate did an update on the app that gave me EIGHTY new brushes and a few new changes... For several days, every time I sat down I played with the brushes to see what they could do. With the digital pen, we pick a brush and it can be changed lighter, darker, colors, smaller, larger, tip point, side slide.
IT"S SO MUCH FUN. 

My favorite new brush is named Kuni, I drew this out of my head using the one brush

I had a new fall colors paint pallet and went a LOT crazy.







I am thankful for the gift of my iPad, for the Procreate App who asks only a one time 12.00 fee for the use of it, for them giving me the new brushes free of charge and there are NO ADS in the app.
I am most thankful that when I am so tired I can't move, I can sit on the recliner and
Draw Crazy Stuff to show all of you, and my #1 Thankful goes to
all of you who are always here for me not matter what or how dumb the stuff is I draw.. I thank you for the cards, emails, gift cards, checks, snail mail, good advice, for prayers and encouraging words and for being my Friends.


NOTE: I am adding a copy of Beaus Good News Email from the vet, Yesterday I posted the news to his blog, the one that we are not actively posting on at this time, below is the email, to see His Post Click HERE
 The News is so good, I cried while reading the email to Bob. He has no clue why I was crying...but you will KNOW.

to me, manateevetclinic

Sandra and Robert, Beau's blood work has been returned and reviewed and, overall, matters continue impressively well. In essence, his entire panel has been returned as being completely normal and good. Now, granted, there's a singular, mildly-elevated value that represents kidney function; but it was present in '23 and then absent in '24 and now it's back. Nothing about the kidneys have changed in that time and I'm inclined to believe that the value we see "oh so mildly elevated" is a non-issue. Beyond that, his heart worm test and fecal exams were negative. Bottom line, Beau continues to impress and I believe I can, with some confidence, yet say that his future looks bright. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you, Dr. Doyens

Glad you got good news about Beau - and you're becoming quite the "digital artist"! :) ♥

Ann said...

Look at all the fun you had. I did similar but didn't save anything. I kept clearing the canvas when it got to full and then filled it with the next brushes I experimented with. Don't know that I've picked a favorite yet.

jabblog said...

Wonderful artwork - you clearly have such fun and it is a great outlet for your creativity.
Good news on Beau, too, bless him.

Play away, my friend, for you have the artist in your hands! Caterpillar is definitely adorable, but I enjoy your abstract 'fall' strokes too - like the leaves swirling in the winds... Keep at it! YAM xx

Yay for the cute pumpkin patch cats! And I loved all the other doodles with your new brushes and colors! That does look like it would be so therapeutic to do! I don't have an iPad, so I have no clue how you do what you do, but you do it so well! :) And yes, a BIG HOORAY for Beau's medical report! That is so wonderful, and I know it made your whole day and week! I bet you could kiss that Doctor! So nice of him to write such a wonderful report! Blessings Galore to you today my friend. We all LOVE to see your doodles and hear about your days. (((HUGS)))

And we love you too Sandra. Good report for Beau...Yay!! Your therapy Ipad is working and this makes me happy for you. Can you imagine way back when, when the world did not have these kind of things to help us with mental therapy. Makes me think...no wonder so many people smoked..gave them something to do! lol. No wonder there were a lot of kids in one house hold...gave them something to do. LOL. Love your creations..

These new Fall colors make me so happy! Mostly, I'm happy that the procreate provides a most necessary distraction. I think I'd feel a bit overwhelmed by all the sheer possibilities, but love seeing what you've done.

Still praying for y'all.
