fleeting moment of color perfection

you know those moments in life when you experience something that you wish you could have forever but even as you are in the moment, you see it change and disappear? this is a print of a pencil sketch. the colors that fall and arc perfectly across the bridge are a prism effect from the afternoon sun and a glass table top.  wow! i love it and am thrilled that i saw it. like a little gift.

art every day...cow belles (or what i do instead of sleep)

last night i simply could not sleep.
no pillow arranging, no visualization, no nothing was going to make me go to sleep. finally, i felt i could fall asleep and POP! there she was...my muse. i have been toying (a little pun intended) with the idea of making some dolls. she has a fat body and long funkified skinny legs. attitude that just won't stop...in the delightful way.
and there it was...cow belles.
so i had to get up and do a sketch of one.
allowing for the fact that i was sloppy, exhausted and not drawing the way i wanted to, at least i got it on paper. finally, around 530am i was released to sleep.

today i am grateful for my muse, however ill-timed her visits.

art every day...off and running

today errand day. had i used bigger paper, i could have included more of what i did.







today i am grateful for my little
red car that takes me everywhere
i want to go!

art every day...i m p e r f e c t

the reason that i chose to do art every day was because i want to uncover the artist in me. find my own style. practice and get better. 

well, in doing so (yes, i am saying this in just 4 short days), i realize that i am perfectly imperfect.  i am working on letting go of being 'good' so that i will get better. 

hence the i m p e r f e c t sketch of the day. read it anyway you want. 

and i have to confess, i miss my camera. expect some photos very soon!

today i am grateful that i am free to be imperfect!
