The monthly theme is Sketching a Mess or Cluttered Area. I just haven't been inspired or motivated enough to work this theme. Maybe another time.
Fortunately, I did manage to fulfil my other goals with regards to the various medias I try to keep up with on a monthly basis.

Rosehips using Procreate and my favorite brush tool - Gouache
Seascape using Procreate and trying out two very different brush tools - Organic/Spires for rocks and Organic/Rainforest for clouds. Worked this while waiting for Elsa to pass by us here in Florida back the first week of July. This was a lot of fun just playing around with the brush tools and letting the scene develop along the way. I had no idea what I was going to do. Added the quote that fit the specific time with that storm coming.
African Red-headed Agama using Procreate and the Gouache brush tool for the Agama itself. Used BJD/Spots for the ground and Touchups/Old Skin for the subtle pattern on the body of the Agama.

This guy showed up on our front porch a couple days ago. No idea where he might have come from as we're a little distance from any water source unless there's a neighbor who has a pond. My husband said it's possible a bird might have had it and dropped along the way. This is the second turtle that has shown up on our front porch. A few weeks ago we had a large Gopher Tortoise show up.

Good morning Susan. So glad to see your work for July. Your Procreate drawings always amaze me with their realistic quality. And the little watercolor sketch of the turtle is adorable! What a fun visitor to find on your porch! I hope he found his way back home, wherever that may be.
Thank you for sharing!
Fay
