“Find your joy,”
I scream.
But you don’t hear me.

Mixing it Up
My years as a portrait and pet photographer, digital photo artist, mixed media artist, and abstract painter is influencing my drawing, and maybe this is why I draw faces and animals. Realistic views are for my camera. I like to draw exaggerated features that bring out personality.

I Voted
Starting Again
I look to the shelf at my sketchbooks of face drawings and pen and ink drawings of rescue dogs and cats. Simple, imperfect sketches that are perfect in many ways. Because in January, I started drawing, and starting is everything. If you don’t start, you don’t get better. And if you don’t start because you think you can’t draw, well, you can’t because you never started. So I am patting myself on the back for starting, and I’m patting myself on the back for continuing daily drawing for the months that I kept going. And today, I’m kicking my butt to start again because I know that my imperfect drawings will get better–one drawing at a time.

Saved From Nothing To Say
A message on my watch,
saved from nothing to say.
So we will eat eggs and toast,
and enjoy another cup of joe.
I’ll read this another day and
think why
these words when really, I
had nothing to say.
