Outside

It's been raining and gray and I can feel it. After finishing this morning's drawing/painting, it became clear to me, I need to get outside and let my inner kid play.

Illustration Friday - Reverse

I am so excited to be back! I haven't posted my art in a long time but I am inspired to do so, once again.
This is my first Illustration Friday submission. The theme is Reverse.

Carrying the weight of the day

I didn't sleep well the night before I drew this. My cats kept me awake. I think this drawing is very revealing of the way I was feeling without my 8 hours, or even 7, or 6, for that matter.

The shift happened

I mentioned in the last post a shift was about to happen. It was a real premonition, unbeknownst to me. A shift happened outside of my blog, in my real life. The change is not tangible but I felt it more than I care to go into. The last month has been difficult.... I am hoping the transition is behind me. I am looking forward - toward more creativity and more exercise and more life.
I started a new sketchbook this morning. I finished the last one yesterday and was so excited to buy myself a new book. I think I was even more thrilled to open my new hard-bound book this morning and get started on the new chapter. The blank pages can sometimes be daunting but this time I was ready.
This self-portrait was the result. It was not planned but it is what developed.

Worries

This blog is about to go through a shift. Actually, I guess it is shifting, right now. Everything is shifting. Change is constant. Sometimes it is a relief to know that.
As I go through my days, weeks, years, and decades I carry with me a bucket of worries. I am looking forward to leaving this bucket in a field and walking away from it.
Thank goodness change is constant.
