My August has been a bit wild, so I'm just now starting to carve out a little time for the annual #inchiechallenge2026
First day - wildflowers
Make art, even tiny art, my friends!

Last day of the Inchie Challenge! Day 7: Complicate. This brought to mind complex molecular interactions in biochemistry, usually depicted as bubble structures. 🎨🐡#inchiechallenge2026 #complicate

Inchie Challenge — the week’s drawings all together. This was a fun way to play around with ideas and mediums, without being intimidating. A two-inch square takes the pressure off! Thanks to @amymaricle for this great experiment! 🎨#inchiechallenge2026

Inchie Challenge, Day 6: Eucalyptus. Did a quick watercolor sketch of two varieties of leaves - the long leaves of the tree and the “silver dollar” variety often used in flower arrangements. 🌱🎨 #inchiechallenge2026 #eucalyptus

Inchie Challenge, Day 5: Lines. Decided to try some new, earth-toned gel pens I have. Started with some straight lines leading to curvy ones. 🎨#inchiechallenge2026 #lines

Inchie Challenge Day 2: Sprinkle. We finally had some rain here overnight so I was thinking of water. Some layers of blue watercolor with white and silver gel pen on top. 🎨 #inchiechallenge2026 #sprinkle #watercolor #gelpen

Inchie Challenge begins! This daily drawing practice was created by @amymaricle and I love getting back into it. The day 1 prompt is Wildflower. I chose to draw the beautiful and intricate stamen in my Canadian anemone that is currently blooming in the rain garden. 🐡🎨 #inchiechallenge2026
