Instead of looking forward to Christmas this year, I’m sorry to say that I’m sort of looking forward to when Christmas is over. Don’t get me wrong, I have a great family and a wonderful partner, and I haven’t had any traumatic childhood Christmas experiences. I have just become overwhelmed with it all. I am […]
This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24 Â I have become a bit disturbed that I like certain days of the week and dislike other days, simply because where they fall within my work schedule. I think it’s become ingrained in me, after hearing […]

I went to the mall yesterday and did some Christmas shopping and some shopping from myself. Shopping is something that I don’t like to do so much as I find it exhausting and a little stressful. When I got home, I remembered that it was the 25th World Wide SketchCrawl and also the 5th anniversary […]

Yesterday I had a bad fall when I was walking my mother’s German Shepherd. The leash got tangled around my thumb and she started running after some sort of small vermin, leaving me flat on my face, with bruised ribs and sprained wrists. I spent all day in bed with wrist splints on, not doing […]
It has been ages since I have tried sketching a portrait from life, so I took the opportunity to draw my boyfriend (twice) while he was playing video games last weekend. He was staying pretty still which was an advantage, and I was behind him so he didn’t even notice me drawing him for quite […]

Now that I am feeling better I have been doing drawing mostly every day, except right now I am working on Christmas presents because I am so behind schedule. I was originally planning on getting all my Christmas artwork done before July, but things didn’t really go as planned. I don’t want to post these […]
I’ve spent the past two months agonizing over a perceived health problem. Now that my doctor could not find anything wrong with me, I’m almost completely convinced that it is mind-body in nature, and not a real illness after all. Unlike my previous hand issue, it was really starting to affect my art productivity not […]
Ever since I was a kid I remember this bottle in the liquor cabinet. This must be at least 75 years old because it has been there ever since I’ve been around and the bottle says it’s already 50 years old! I don’t think it would be very good to drink. Metaxa is a type […]

Life is one long process of getting tired. -Samuel Butler I’m sick at the moment, with a cold or the flu I’m not sure. Most days I haven’t been sketching at all, but on the days that I have been sketching, I haven’t been making anything presentable enough to post. Today I am sipping hot […]

I had a full day yesterday, but sadly left drawing until the very end. Not wanting to put off drawing for the day, I decided to do some late night sketching before the clock struck twelve. I was wearing my “do rag” in my hair and my long sleeved flannel nightgown (the a/c was on). […]
