95-2886 – Water is life – ridge

We bought this 6 litre bottle of water to use at our vigil at the memorial park and I couldn’t resist sketching it as the pattern and reflections looked so interesting. The prompt for Day 19 of #Inktober2024 was “ridge” and I noticed that the image on the label is of a mountain with a ridge line…so that’s close enough for me!

95-2885 – Drive

This sketch was done in the morning after our night at the memorial park. The prompt for Day 18 of #Inktober2024 was “drive” so this seemed an appropriate subject. I had planned to do more to this sketch (like paint in the greenery)…but in the end thought it was finished enough!

95-2884 – Undas vigil, morning grunge

This sketch was done late at night while we were at the memorial park for undas (a holiday in the Philippines to commemorate a combination of All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day, honouring the souls of the departed). Undas is derived from the Spanish word “honras” meaning “honours”. We stayed at the memorial park all night. I am not proud of it, but I fell asleep quite quickly – and I always feel pretty grungy after a night sleeping under the stars. “Grungy” also happens to be the prompt for Day 16 of #Inktober2024.
