Daily Face: April 23rd & 24th

Yesterday I was so busy at work that I forgot to take a picture of my desk calendar. Today wasn't so busy. I was able to finish reading a book called "Who Switched Off My Brain?" by Dr. Caroline Leaf it was okay. Things that I have read before.
I'm afraid my daily drawing is only these daily student portraits. I have a schedule of what I should be creating everyday but it is just not working out that way. I have a my daily painting station set up but no painting is going on over there. It just sits and looks at me.

Nothing Here

CED: Poetry/ My Daily Face/ Something?

My weekly submission for Creative Everyday, the theme being poetry which  is not exactly my forte, but I'm giving it a shot. The drawing is not that great, but I was trying to focus on the words.

dreams were to bless,
time followed through the dark shadow,
like music in the night, vanishing in the morning.

Daily Face: Student portrait

Something?

I had a good day at work. The time went by so fast. I drew my daily face portrait and scribble this woman on a scratch pad she's something.

CED: Poetry

Look inside my eyes 

and see

the very heart of me

My joys 

My fears

My hopes

and tears

Look inside my eyes

and you'll see

the deepest part of me

The theme for Creative Everyday is poetry. I was looking for a poem to go with my painting The Look  nothing really said what I wanted so I attempted my own little simple poem. I am not a poet!

Painting in My Sketchbook Giant

This is a painting from my giant mix media sketchbook. I generally just paint it. I have no plans when I start with a blank page. It's a good creative exercise for me especially since I'm afraid of color.

AEDM- Face 12 : I Am Determined

 Day 3 of AEDM in some ways my story of Tikezia and I shared the same goal which is determination. Despite the fact that I have limited time I am determined to post my art each day for November. Today was our immunization audit  by the Health Dept., so I went to work early and got off late. It's the end of day and I'm attempting a background in my sketchbook. I'm not so happy with the results because I'm rushing, at least I'm conquering my fear of painting directly into journal. Today's story is of a young African girl determine to survive the destruction of her village.

AEDM- Face 11: Where Did the Time Go?

The 2nd day of Aedm and another face painted in my journal. I thought I would get to do more like add something to background but having two teens changed my plans. So it is the end of the day and I'm just posting what I created. This is Marion who can't believe that time has gone so fast. She's been so busy she can't remember her 30's and 40's and now that she's in her 50's she has a little wisdom to share. Stay focus, enjoy life, and only look back to learn.

AEDM- Face 10 - Overcoming Fears

For the Art Everyday Month I am attempting to overcome my fear of painting directly into my sketchbook. This may seem like a small thing but for me it is huge. Usually I sketch in my book, then make copies to paint. I am also working on my writing skills each painting will have a story. This painting is a story about a girl named Janna, who walks around with this scowl on her face as her protection against being shy.

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.
