Ali Canary @AliCanary (4954) 12 Oct

I chose green, which is an obvious color, but I didn't want to go with the predictable saguaro, so I drew a euphorbia, which has the common name Dragonbone. Pretty cool! I actually have one at home that's about six feet tall (they...

I once asked my dad if he remembered the day when absolutely nothing hurt. He did, which surprised me because I don’t. I’m blessed though because so many Mylotters have mentioned knee problems, and I’ve never had any pain in my...

Ali Canary @TishaMears oh, I know! I broke my ankle really badly from a fall when I was 19 and I was almost good as new in six weeks. But I had knee surgery in 2019, and I still don't feel fully recovered. Getting old ain't for sissies!

Australia has another ‘big thing’ and it’s situated in Moora, a small town in Western Australia. This time it’s a pair of endangered Carnaby’s black cockatoos. A public group has been raising funds for the sculpture for seven...

The prompt for Day 1 is "apple". There are different ways to interpret each prompt -- some people went the Apple computer route --but although I've been a little tricky or off-beat with some things, I decided to be straightforward...

Ali Canary @thislittlepennyearns oh, try Sketchbook! It's such a good program for free. Total functionality, as far as I know, anyway. You can even drop out the background and make it transparent. I have an old Samsung Galaxy Tab with a stylus.

Ali Canary So is one of my all-time favorite albums! It's funny how Genesis was such an arty, navel-gazing prog-rock band until Peter left to go solo, and then they BOTH turned out the catchiest music ever and churned out hit after hit, lol

For Day 3, I embraced the world of gaming miniatures, making a little Gandalf, or some generic wizard, used for a tabletop role-playing game. Since I was thinking of a pewter miniature rather than a painted sculpt, I used grey as...

Ali Canary @thislittlepennyearns it's a very simple, free one called Sketchbook (it has a pencil as the icon). I also downloaded Krita, which is also free and highly rated, but it's very complex. I am still pretty new to digital art (just started in 2022) and Sketchbook...

I'm sure you know a relic is a religious object, but since it's also often used to mean something old, especially in a teasing way, I figured I'd draw this rotary-dial phone based on my memory of the one we had when I was growing...

Ali Canary @AmbiePam I think that's true. I know my boss likes me, but yesterday she asked for me to do a list of the projects she has given me and how far through them I've gotten, so HR might be asking her to estimate how much longer she will need me. There are several...

Ali Canary I like this song. Probably my favorite by Neil Young. He had quite a lot of political songs, and that's absolutely okay! As to chart success, did Crosby even HAVE any solo songs? I can think of only one by Stephen Stills, "Stranger". I did like that one. I...

It's 2:06 PM. I'm at work. The sun is blazing and it's 31 degrees Celsius. My weather app says light rain, so maybe there's still a chance it'll rain later. I ran my market errands, cleaned the house, and even finished a few...

Ali Canary It's rained here literally ALL day. Whew! We needed it, though. I'm glad I didn't have to go anywhere today. I just stayed cozy. It's been a bit cold in my office, though (about 19C).
