It has been a good creative week. I am not even sure where I am exactly in the painting challenge. Just I keep painting and loving it. 

Jacob had a basketball game Saturday and during warm up and between his two games I was able to sketch a bit. This kind of time is the best way for me to sketch and keep my creativity and drawing skills practiced.  here are a few of those sketches from those times.

These are the full two page spread. A couple Sunday sermon sketches with my notes.
 As an artist the process of creating images with my notes helps to seal the message in my mind. Similar to my paintings, I can recall if I was listening to a book on tape,podcast or music when I created it. I just take my notes in the next page of my sketchbooks. I covet my sketchbooks so my notes and list are safe there. Easy to reference back as well.  What do you do while you wait? Read,check emails, quiet your mind?

These are created with a sepia prisma micron pen and Tim Holtz distress markers in my 6x6" "Hand Journal " sketchbook.

You might enjoy this post  with more waiting sketches.

Some of my favorite words of reminders. Often I get bogged down in "my things to do list " for the day. Having these words and other gentle reminders brings me back to ground. I am not in charge. To be loving in all I do ( having trouble with that one and my house chores...not loving the laundry today-but thankful for modern technology!) /with out hope and faith I wouldn't be where I am today.
What do these words bring to mind for you? What are some other favorites?

These three words are based on well believing is something no physically tangible so to speak but in the fact these are greater than we are and to have them makes life incredible I think. when any one is shaken we too can be quite shaken.

Holiday Prepping and Planning

Live Life SOLD

After a busy month in September with the 30 in 30 I am now moving along getting ready for the holidays. Can you believe it Christmas is only 2 months away! Seriously? I feel rushed already.
So my list keeps growing and the days keep flyin' by.
As you plan I hope your will keep in mind to support your favorite artists. And search local too for galleries and art centers to get to their holiday shops. You can usually find a wide selection of handcrafted fine art gifts from note cards, jewelry, sculpture and paintings of course. and think about those gift certificates for original art or  the gift of experiences to take a workshop or class. So many options. Happy planning!
