New Sketchbook and New Month

©2010 Carolyn A. Pappas, Pear Trio. Graphite in 9 x 12 sketchbook.

Yesterday I had a bit of a mishap. Do you know the sketchbook I was talking about wanting to finish last time? Well, it got finished a little sooner that I had hoped thanks to a spilled cup of tea. Thankfully, the pages I had already worked on were spared. I was really mad at myself after that though.

I still want to do a lot of sketching throughout November, even though I won’t be trying to finish this new sketchbook before the end of the month. I feel like I need a bit of discipline, or accountability if you will, so I decided to join Art Every Day Month, organized by Leah Piken Kolidas. I have plenty of creative ideas (maybe too many), but I am lacking in terms of execution. I hope to use this month as an opportunity to get some work done. I am planning to post a lot of sketches as well as WIPs.

Sidenote: The pears from Harry and David are better than any of the pears you can get around here (Massachusetts). I highly recommend them.
