Pen play

Playing in my sketchbook while watching the boys swim here at the Y. Just some pen exercises today...getting use to working in pen and trying to squeeze in a few moments of creating today. Did you squeeze any in today?

More sketching daily...lilies

The last couple of days I've been meaning to pull out one of my many unused journals and sketch, but my hubby's been sick & my house was a mess...so you know what happened. Lol! ;) Today though, I was determined to get me and the kiddo out of the house...so I grabbed my journal, a few pens, and a couple of books to draw from and we were off. While Aiden's busy checking out a new play structure at a McD's we've never been to, I'm sketching away. Ahhhhhhhh! I feel so much better now. :D

Streching my creative muscles with a little doodling

Its been a hectic/full week with pretty much no creative time. And now today, when I actually have some time, I can't shift gears. Isn't that always the way it goes? Lol! Something I keep hearing inside my head over and over is that I need to get back to drawing daily. That this would keep my creative motivation going so that when I have that chunk of scheduled creative time, that I won't feel like the well has run dry.

So, I looked around the room for something that caught my eye...and it was the cute makeup bag I got a few months ago. The only paper and pen in reach was a napkin and one of my son's ball point pens, so I grabbed 'em and got to work. :D

It was fun to do just a simple quick sketch of an every day kind of item! I soooooo gotta do this more! Any one out there have something they do daily to keep their creative muscles fit? I wanna hear! Leave a comment (with a link if ya got one).

Wordless Wednesday...Progress

Wrapping up the week

I'm painting edges of finished paintings today in preparation for putting some new originals up for sale next week. Been quite a long time since I've offered any originals, so if you've been waiting then the wait is almost over. :D Thanks for all your encouragement with this new direction my work is taking! I feel like I'm really starting to come fully into the artist God created me to be...I just need to stay out of His way and let Him unlock what He put within me. :) Which, I'm sure you all know, ain't the easiest thing. I'm just gonna try to keep moving and trusting...

Have a fAb fRidAy y'all and I'll catch ya on Monday!!'
