Sketchbook One - Journal Pages

Thought I share a few journal pages from my Sketchbook One. Although its my oldest sketchbook it still has blank pages for me to create.

Looking @ Others Work

I've been away because I lost confidence in my work. Although I still love my art, I let myself get drawn into comparing myself with other artist. This is a no-no in Christianity and as I have learned recently with my art.( 1 Cornthians 10:12 but they measuring themselves by themseves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.) So I picked up my pen because it was slow at work and doodle. My goal was not to worry about mistakes but to just draw something and fill in the whole page. Here are my doodles:

Not my very best but its a jump start for me to get busy.

CED - I've Been Missing You

Sorry I've been away for so long. I run a small decluttering business and lately my business has picked up. One more thing to keep me away from creating. However I do love to help people put order back in their lives. I guess in a way its creating. When you look at the pictures you may say they just need to clean up, but clutter can slowly creep up on you and then it becomes so over-whelming you don't know where to began. I thought this would be appropriate for the theme nest.Here are a few before and after pictures of different clients.

There is a chair under the clutter

Hopefully I get back to art soon and reading. I'm so far behind my reading schedule. When I get home I'm so exhausted I can't focus to read. I did finish The Dark Lantern, it wasn't very good until the end.

Face 13 - Glance

No housework done today. It's getting bad, I didn't even make my bed. However when art in flowing through me I must create.

Face 12 - In My Thoughts

My house is becoming very messy and laundry is plying up. I care but I must create. Once again this is what I did before going to work.
