Finally Completed Sketchbook One

Finished Sketchbook

2008 Drawing

When I took the 2007 pledge to myself to start drawing again I picked up a sketchbook I purchased in 2006. I started drawing in it and thought the drawings were ugly. I wanted my sketchbook to look like those I saw on other artist blogs. So I stopped drawing in it and would only draw on loose paper because if I made a mistake I could throw it away. I gave the sketchbook to my daughter Zoe, who likes to draw also. Years later I found it in her room and it was the same as I gave it to her so I picked it back up again. Today I can say that it is finished. To see my first drawing click here Fairy. These are my final drawings.

Award

I received the stylish blogger award from Sandy Coleman Yeah! Thanks Sandy. Part of the acceptance includes telling seven things about myself that other bloggers don't know and passing it on to 15 other blogs that I admire.

1. When I step into a library or bookstore I wish I could read every book.

2. I am currently wearing braces. My teeth have always been a little crooked but after I turned 45 they became really crooked. I hated the way my smile look. I'm almost 50 with braces.

3. I love cheesecake.

4. I loved British authors.

5. I seldom watch TV and I hate for the TV to be on for background noise. My husband loves TV. It is a constant conflict.

6.I'm trying to become a minimalist. I used to collect antiques and other things but your house can become really clutter so I stopped collecting.

7. I'm a very slow typist. I pluck. My fingers never do what I want.

February Painting - Unfinished

I am currently trying to work on my 2nd painting for the year. I can't remember whose blog I read but they stated that you should spend at least 15 minutes a day doing something with your art. So in the morning I've been trying to do that. Hopefully I can allot more time this week, because we will be on winter break. No school Feb. 11-15. Prayerfully I will use this time wisely.
