March was a slow month for me in terms of output, although I feel like I’ve made progress in other ways. The other night I just happened to pick up my two framed paintings at the same time that the shop owner was holding an artist critique group in the store. I joined in and I think I will make it a regular appointment every other week — it would be a definite positive for me. The group is friendly and I appreciate their aesthetic from what I saw of their work so far.

I made this sketch one evening last week when I succeeded in fighting my urge to decompress online. The first minute felt like work, but then I noticed that I began to feel energized. I went to bed that night feeling satisfied with myself for doing something active and creative, even if it was only a half hour pencil sketch.
